Anna L. Felder, MBA, MEd, CSCS, Pn1

Anna grew up in the small town of Dorris CA, where she excelled as a multi-sport athlete. After her first year of Junior College Softball at Shasta College, she experienced a herniated disk at L4-L5, then a staph and strep infection - from which she was close to death. Over the next year she rehabilitated her back and strength through physical therapy, yoga and gentle cardio, and then worked with All American Softball Academy to regain her athletic fitness. She received a scholarship to play DIV 1 Softball for Lipscomb University in Nashville TN, where she studied Exercise Science and Nutrition. She went on to a Master of Education in Human Performance from Tennessee State University.

Anna has obtained several certifications to help her clients with their real-life health, wellness and fitness goals. Since 2006 she has been certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. She is also a certified Nutrition Coach through Precision Nutrition in 2017. She became a Certified Health Coach through ACE Fitness in 2019. And in 2021 also certified as a Weight Loss Specialist with ACE Fitness.

Anna has experience working with clients from 12 years old to 82, from breast cancer survivors, athletes, bariatric patients and health coaching clients of all levels.

Anna understands the struggle of achieving optimal health and weight, and prides herself as a metabolism specialist who breaks down the complicated concepts of weight loss, maintenance, and weight gain into simplified, actionable strategies through simple and effective coaching.
