Hey! My name is Mariel De Leon

I am a wellness coach and my goal is to help others feel empowered to make changes in their lives and improve their health through mindset, nourishment, and movement.

I was born and raised in Bronx, NY. I studied at SUNY Potsdam where I double majored in Community Health and Exercise Science with a minor in Nutrition. Although I knew lots of information and had experience, I still ended up gaining weight and struggling with my mental health. “To know and not do is to not know at all.”

Throughout my life, I’ve struggled with many mental battles - depression, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness, low self esteem, and negativity. However, as someone who always strived for growth and improvement, I was always trying to figure out why I was the way I was and how I could improve in all aspects.

As I started implementing different practices in my life, I found a love for overall wellness, and I made progress. I realized the tremendous impact that one individuals health can have on their own life and how it spreads to others. It ignited a passion in me to inspire people to choose healthier practices and live a happier life. As I continue my own journey, I want to help people find their power to create change in their own lives.

So, I chose to create DE LEON (yes, my last name!) to create a space where we can take our time to learn, grow, and release that inner BEAST.
