Movement with Soul. Wellness with Saoco.

I’m Ana, the founder of Saoco Wellness — a space where dance, strength, and healing come together. Rooted in my Colombian heritage and shaped by years of experience in physical therapy and professional dance, I help people reconnect with their bodies and move with confidence, joy, and purpose.

My journey began in Cali, Colombia — where salsa music and movement are a way of life. I moved to New Jersey at age 10, and dance quickly became my anchor and expression. I trained in Salsa Caleña, and over the years, I expanded into professional performance and fitness.

But my path wasn’t always easy. An injury led me to study physical therapy, where I spend nearly a decade helping others heal. Still, I craved something deeper — a way to blend movement with soul, and science with passion.

That’s when Saoco Wellness was born: a blend of everything I am — dancer, therapist, teacher, mother, and healer.

What Saoco Wellness Stands For

At Saoco Welness, I’m here to help you:

  • Build real strength from the inside out

  • Feel at home in your body

  • Cultivate mobility, confidence, and expression

  • Heal through intentional movement, not punishment

  • Embrace your cultural roots and feminine power

As a new mom, I understand how much life shifts — physically, emotionally, spiritually. Saoco Wellness is also a space for mothers, dancers, and anyone who’s felt disconnected from their body. You’re not broken. You just need a path back — through movement, awareness, and a little saoco.
