Wellness Directors
Izabella Steele - Director
BellaVita has always been a dream for me. I began modeling at the age of 9; due to the nature of the job, and body image insecurities, a big part of my life has always been health and wellness. I started working for a fitness club at a young age, to help others and pursue my interest. I have seen many women struggling to reach the stereotypical industry standard "model body" through eating disorders, and substance abuse. I first discovered the importance of a healthy lifestyle as a teenager, when my agent suggested I take diet pills before a job to loose a couple inches off my hips; I rejected the idea and resorted to cardio, and clean eating to reach my goal. Since then I have made it my mission to help others. I believe health goes beyond working out, and eating right; you must first make the conscious decision, which is why I had the vision of starting a wellness center encompassing Body, Mind, and Soul. I am a certified personal trainer, and nutrition coach. I graduated from York University in Toronto, as a member of the Dean's Honor Roll, with a major Labor Studies; and I also hold a Marketing Management Diploma with honors from Kwantlen University in Vancouver. As a proud Canadian from Vancouver, BC; I have represented British Columbia on a national level at Miss Universe Canada in 2006. Most recently, I relocated to New York to pursue my passion for fitness, which is what led my vision to become reality, with BellaVita's first wellness location. I love working out, and eating healthy feel good food. My goal is to help others get in shape, and pass on everything I have learned throughout the years. As the fitness industry is constantly changing, I stay on top of the latest industry knowledge by studying and continuing my education. For me, there is no greater reward than being able to make a difference in the lives of others by helping them improve their standard of living from the inside out. I believe health is priceless, and it is the most valuable thing we have in life.
Elena G. Simon - Studio Director
Since a very young age, yoga & movement, along with music and the performing arts have been strong passions of mine. Fitness and wellness as a performer have always been prominent factors in my success on stage or film. Originally from West Hartford, CT, I moved to NYC in 2005 to obtain my BA and MA at The New School in Media Studies (with a focus in Marketing & Business Management) along with a theater/dance minor. Since graduating, I revisited my love of yoga & fitness by managing various studios as well as working in collective & community art spaces in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens for the past three years. I am a certified 200 HR yoga & meditation instructor and have been focusing on one-on-one practices with private clients over the past year. Being known as DJ Mustella, I look for music that makes people move from their inner core, outward. Elevating one's heart-rate and getting even the shyest of wallflowers excited to move whilst simultaneously physically expressing oneself & relieving stress is my aim and ultimate fulfillment. Movement through music is empowering and uplifting, especially in an age where depression, anxiety and other mental disorders hinder us from being the luminous individuals we have the potential to be. Finally bridging the gap between wellness and creativity, BellaVita is a dream come true for me to fuse both of my passions for wellness and the arts. It is our goal to encourage our clients to experience total wellness on not just the physical, but spiritual & intellectual level (Body, Mind & Soul experience). BellaVita is a haven for a growing community of health-conscious and passionate individuals in NYC who want to connect and learn from each other to create a more beautiful life, and a beautiful you!
