Hello & Welcome
I’m Mandy Fuchs, a wellness coach, yoga instructor and fitness trainer with a deep passion for helping people (and their dogs!) live strong, vibrant, and fulfilling lives. With over a decade of experience and certifications in Precision Nutrition, 200 hours Hatha Yoga, Strength & Conditioning, Aquatic Fitness, Mind Body and Older Adult fitness, I bring a holistic and personalized approach to every session. My mission is to empower you to feel confident, capable and connected in your body and mind. Whether you're just starting out or rediscovering your rhythm, I meet you where you’re at - with compassion, care, and attention to what makes you feel free and the best version of yourself. I believe wellness should feel good, be fun and fit your real life. When I’m not coaching, instructing and playing with pups, you’ll find me walking my dogs, tending to life on the acreage, playing outdoors or practicing my wide range of wellness habits. Every step we take together is about more than nutrition and movement , it’s about creating the life you love. Let’s build strength, resilience and joy, one small shift at a time.
My Story
I love being outside — walking the dogs, digging in the dirt, soaking up the sun, or just listening to the quiet. I live on an acreage in Foothills, Alberta with my partner Darren and our two dogs, Jazzy & Freddie just outside of Calgary, AB. I love growing things, ​(food, trees, flowers), exercising, being outside, camping connecting with family and friends and traveling.
​
I've always enjoyed a variety of exercise, group fitness and yoga classes by challenging myself to stay in the moment, have some friendly competition, get a good workout and most importantly have fun! My first certification took me to Baja, Mexico for my 200 hour Yoga teacher training in 2014 and every year since have attained new certifications to continue learning and growing in the fabulous world of group fitness! I was hired by the City of Calgary in 2014 and continue to teach in person classes in various facilities, still get a little nervous at the start of every class and am honored to help men and women get and stay social & strong in their body and mind. In 2020 I started teaching live online and found solstice in connecting with smiling, sweaty faces through the screeen and sharing my passion for fitness!
Doggie work began by participating in a half marathon event that required fund raising. I put an ad in Starbucks to run dogs for donations and was hired by my first and still current clients in August 2012. There was a little over a year break from the first set of walks however when the owners schedules got too busy I was the first person they asked and gave me the idea to add some more pups to my pack! From 2014-2020 I pack walked dogs and developed special relationships with my borrowed pets who I still get to care for on the acreage! They love my visits or stays and I love them like my own!!
Pet sitting began December 2014. A yoga client had to travel on short notice and asked me to care for her anxious little pooch for an undetermined amount of time...it turned out to be just over 5 weeks. From there, I started All Ways Aligning (my pre-covid business) and was known to be living in someone else's home loving their awesome pets until 2019 when I moved to an acreage just south of Calgary. I have since welcomed dogs into my home for ample exercise, love, rest and lots of attention sleepovers at Dog Paradise!
In 2024 I took the entrepreneurial plunge to build Nurturing Whole Health, basically All Ways Aligning 2.0! Dogs enjoy staycations or day stays in paradise, I teach live fitness 3-4 days/week, lots of classes at the City of Calgary and have added the Wellness Warriors Tribe to connect with more people! I got certified by Precision Nutrition as a health coach. My own journey through addiction, emotional eating, anxiety, and the wild ride of perimenopause has humbled me and taught me to listen more, judge less, and always lead with compassion. That’s the energy I bring to every coaching session, fitness class, and conversation - a safe space, grounded in care, where your goals matter and your story is honored. Helping people (and dogs!) live strong, joyful, aligned lives isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am.
