As a wellness entrepreneur, transformational coach, and mind–body specialist, Makita brings over three decades of experience in integrative health and multidisciplinary teaching. Her background spans nursing, counselling, movement science, and energy-based practices, supported by certifications across meditation, Pilates, yoga, personal training, and energy medicine modalities.
This diverse foundation has informed the development of the Soul Vida Method™, which bridges structured movement, energy medicine with intuitive awareness — supporting physical strength, emotional release, and mental clarity within a single integrated practice.
In 2014, Makita formalised her signature approach — a workout-style meditation that integrates breath, movement, fascia, and nervous system regulation — into what is now known as the Soul Vida Method™. This body of work bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary movement science, offering a practical and accessible pathway to physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional balance.
With over 30 years of experience in health, fitness, and mind–body integration, Makita has worked across clinical, movement, and therapeutic environments, developing a deeply informed and practical approach to whole-body wellbeing.
As the lead educator for Soul Vida Teacher Training, Makita is committed to delivering a transformational journey that combines technical understanding, embodied practice, and practitioner integrity. Her teaching style emphasises clarity, simplicity, and depth — equipping students with the skills to confidently facilitate the method in a way that is both grounded and transformational.
Makita continues to evolve the methodology through ongoing research, teaching, and global platform development, including Soul Vida TV and the Well and Soul Collective.
