ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Joao!

I grew up in a home where health is considered a priority and a way of life. My parents taught me early on that taking care of your body is the foundation for everything else.

 

That mindset led me to explore various sports, including judo, gymnastics, soccer, and swimming; however, swimming quickly became my passion. Competing at national championships, breaking state and school records, and earning podium finishes shaped not just my athletic career but my character.

 

Being an athlete taught me how to face setbacks, from injuries to tough races, and use them as fuel to grow stronger. Those experiences inspired me to coach others.

 

I want my athletes and clients to discover their best selves by understanding how their bodies move, building resilience through challenges, and celebrating progress as part of the process, not just the result.
