Born to Thrive: The Birth of a Fitness Maven
Burnished and refined under the Brazilian Sun, Fernanda Rocha was destined to emerge as a titan of bold strides reshaping the very fabric of the fitness realm.

More than bodily movements, such activities were her lifeline, allowing Fernanda to vent out her innermost feelings, bare her soul and unveil her true self, with pious integrity and authenticity.
With this conviction, and armed with a degree in Kinesiology from a prestigious university in her homeland, Fernanda took the leap of faith at the tender age of 23 and embarked on a quest to the vibrant land of opportunities- America.
