Balanced Body Coaching was founded by Astrum Lux Lucis in June of 2007 after she graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City with certification as a Holistic Health Coach. Astrum's been studying health and nutrition since 1989. She became an ethical vegan in May of 2005 and has been involved with the raw & living foods lifestyle since April of 2006.
She founded Balanced Body Coaching in an effort to assist people in achieving their optimum health, fitness, and well being. She knows the only way to achieve this is by upgrading your diet and lifestyle. "My goal is to assist people in correcting imbalances in their body, whether they are dietary, postural, or muscular. When you are in balance in all areas of your life, you are truly living in harmony, and life is awesome!"
She's been on practically every diet imaginable and has dealt with weight issues since she was 10 years old. She knows the frustration of dieting and yo-yo-ing, and after 33 years of personal struggle, she's found the answer, and she's very enthusiastic to share the "secret" with her clients.
She's an ACE Certified Personal Fitness Trainer and a USA Triathlon Level 1 Coach. She's personally been training with weights for over 20 years and also practices Kundalini yoga, pilates, daily meditation, hatha yoga, tai chi, and recently added "triathlete" to her list of endeavors.
She's also in the Music & Entertainment Industry and produced and hosted a television show on the Manhattan Neighborhood Network called "Vegan Wellness TV", and her and her partner, Chef Alicia Ojeda, co-hosted an online interactive livecast TV show called "EZ Raw Food 101 TV". She's also a singer/songwriter/musician and has released several albums and now performs with many musical groups in Austin, Texas as well as writing music for film and TV.
In December of 1996 she graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management/Entrepreneurship, with minors in Music and Music Business & Entertainment Industries. She also writes a monthly column for "Austin All Natural" magazine.
