Get In TouChHello,
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, trusted confidante and 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 having a family of my own. I longed for a love 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.
I have since gone on to become a fully Certified, Science based - Dating, Love and Human Relationship coach. I studied with the Global Love Institute and my Holistic approach to relationships encompasses many ‘human connections’ offering a comprehensive support system allowing me to also coach on rapports with work colleagues, family and friendships, biological / step children and couple coaching.
Why am I so passionate about helping others find love?

I have coached, supported and helped many clients over the last 20 years. Some of which have been the most highly influential and successful names in the celebrity world. My passion in life is LOVE, coaching others to believe in it, find it and keep it.
