Pregnancy & Fertility - Mariella Spoto

Hello,

I’m Mariella but you can call me Ella. I am thrilled to now be taking clients at Natural Fitness and Therapies.

What’s my Story?

I’ve spent the last 25-years working as an international film and television makeup artist and hair designer which has seen me beautify some of the world's most recognisable faces. But Unbeknownst to me when I started, my role would soon evolve into that of a friend and trusted life coach to the stars. What I never expected to find was being asked to teach my actors how to maintain their sense of self worth and self love once the cameras had been switched off and all the makeup had been removed.

In my mid-30's I took a transformative leap. Feeling lost and yearning for more I packed a bag and boarded a plane to India, where I trained to become a yoga teacher. I was quite surprised to find that once again I was being called to nurture, support, and allow every woman to feel seen, heard and powerful, whether they were on a yoga mat or in my makeup chair. I was back to holding a safe space, this time in a yoga studio instead of a makeup trailer.

My personal journey wasn't without its challenges, especially in my quest for love and then having a family of my own. I longed for a family that seemed effortless for others but eluded me. As hope waned I turned inward and I decided to work on myself. This led me to 'The Cheek of it Burlesque School', where I found self-love and confidence amidst incredible women who encouraged me to embrace my strength and independence. This experience propelled me into a career as a burlesque performer, both as a solo artist and as part of a troupe, captivating audiences across the UK and Internationally.

Drawing from these diverse experiences, I crafted yoga classes focused on body confidence and female empowerment, which quickly became well received and highly sought-after. My innate connection to female energy then led me to do further education and go on to teach specialised yoga classes, including Fertility yoga, Pregnancy yoga, Birth Preparation Classes, Hypnobirthing Workshops, Peri-menopause and Menopause yoga and Womb healing yoga.
