Holistic fitness instructor: Emily Kandanga-Erastus

Emily Kandanga-Erastus is a dedicated and passionate holistic wellness fitness instructor whose journey into health and wellness began in 2009.

Her personal quest for well-being evolved into a professional mission in 2017 when she became a certified instructor, a milestone she emphasises for its role in ensuring safe practices for both herself and her clients. "Certification is crucial in providing a secure environment and effective guidance" she said.

Kandanga-Erastus' holistic approach to wellness is rooted in the belief that true health encompasses mental, physical and emotional balance.

Her practice is designed to foster this equilibrium, helping individuals achieve peace within themselves while improving their physical fitness and mental health. She finds personal accountability in her role, knowing that taking care of others reinforces her commitment to her own well-being.

Her services are diverse, including boot camps, corporate health programmes and fitness events, all tailored to meet the varied needs of her clients.

These programmes are not only about physical fitness, but also about building a supportive community and promoting overall wellness.

In addition to her fitness programmes, she is excited to launch an activewear line in September, expanding her influence in the wellness industry and providing her clients with high-quality fitness apparel.

Kandanga-Erastus' advice to others is grounded in authenticity and responsibility. She encourages individuals to "walk the walk you talk", highlighting the importance of living by the principles one advocates.

She added: "Being responsible and accountable for one’s actions and behaviours, I believe, is essential for personal and professional growth".

One of Kandanga-Erastus' greatest joys comes from witnessing her clients’ progress. "I love seeing them become stronger, both physically and mentally, and I take pride in celebrating their achievements alongside them," she said.

This shared journey of growth and transformation is what fuels her passion and dedication to holistic wellness.
