About Angelina

My name is Angelina Boccardo and I am a Wellness Coach at Essential Wellness Studio. I have extensive experience in a number of wellness areas and am passionate about helping people become healthier, happier versions of themselves.  

In 1994, I became qualified in remedial massage and worked as a masseuse for a number of years. At this time, I began studying naturopathy, but my life soon took a different turn. 

In 2001, I opened a store with my husband in the liquor industry. This was a major turning point in my life. Within a year, I felt that I needed to do something for myself and so took up cardio and weight training. The early years of the business were very challenging financially and personally. I honestly feel that exercise is what got me through it all. Not only did I feel more energised, but I was able to think more clearly and make better life decisions. 

After selling the business in 2010, I decided to return to what I was truly passionate about. In 2012, I became a qualified personal trainer. I have continued to build upon my passion for healthy living by going on to gain qualifications in Contemporary Pilates and more recently, naturopathy. 

Now that I am in my early fifties with two adult children, I am fortunate to have years of life experience which helps me better understand my clients and the stage they are at in their health journey. 

I appreciate that the realities of life sometimes get in the way of our own goals, but I am here to help you in the best way possible. Let me help you feel like yourself again.
