She hopes to fuse her wellness coaching, data analysis, teaching, and developing psychology skills in a dynamic and impactful way to serve those most underserved in society: BIPOC folks, first-gen students and professionals, women of color, neurodivergent individuals, caregivers, and immigrants and refugee communities.
Artesana Hooping LLC is her brainchild, founded with the intention of helping the community integrate a fun and creative way to move, connect, and heal. With over 12 years of experience in hoop dance and fitness, Yanet is also a skilled hoop maker, designing and building custom fitness and dance hoops for hoopers of all skill levels. She offers certified hoop dance workshops and hoop fitness classes for people of all ages.
In addition to hoop fitness and dance, she provides creativity, wellness, and life coaching services, including bilingual Spanish coaching. Where she focuses on helping caregivers, working professionals, first-gen students and young professionals overcome burnout, manage stress, and have a more integrated work life.
“I’ve dealt with chronic health issues while dealing with everyday stressors, and I learned to work through them and become more resilient.
It took years of coaching, self-reflection, and building up my tool box of self-help techniques to stabilize. Hula-hooping, movement, fitness, spirituality, art, and taking a holistic approach to treatment helped me get to where I am today—I feel the healthiest and the most whole I ever felt, humbly acknowledging that continuous efforts are what sustain health in the long-term. As a first-gen professional and daughter of immigrants, I understand the struggles of balancing family, work, higher education, passion projects, and friendships. I’m hopeful that through my own experiences and continuing education, I can help others be the best version of themselves, too.” - Yanet
