Angela Orozco

Founder of Life Spark - Health & Wellness Coach - Yoga & Fitness Instructor - Personal Trainer

I was born and raised in Cali, Colombia, where my curiosity about human behavior and desire to support others began early in life. At 21, I moved to Miami to complete my undergraduate degree in Psychology, followed by a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My professional journey began in the medical field as a mental health counselor, where I had the opportunity to work with individuals facing complex challenges including those diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and substance addiction. I also worked closely with elderly patients and their caregivers, particularly those navigating Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

 
 

Over the years, I expanded my experience through specialized programs and clinical settings, including working with the CDC’s Diabetes Prevention Program and serving on the residential treatment team for adolescents living with eating disorders. While deeply fulfilling, these experiences also opened my eyes to the need for a more integrative, preventive, and empowering approach to well-being, one that addressed the whole person, not just the diagnosis. That realization led me to study at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I became a certified Integrative Health Coach. From there, my path unfolded into the world of holistic fitness and movement. I became a certified yoga teacher over 11 years ago, and what began as a personal practice quickly evolved into a full-time career. Over time, I deepened my expertise by becoming a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, ACE Group Fitness Instructor, and earning my Precision Nutrition Certification. These tools allowed me to coach clients in a more complete, dynamic way, blending mindset, movement, and food to spark real, lasting transformation.

 

As I began making intentional, sustainable changes in my own life—eating more mindfully, moving with purpose, and grounding myself through practices like meditation and yoga—I experienced a powerful transformation. Inspired by those results, I became passionate about guiding others to discover that same spark within themselves.

That passion led me to create Life Spark, a heart-centered health and lifestyle coaching practice designed to help people make lasting, meaningful changes. As founder and director, I support clients in building lives they feel deeply connected to—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I’ve worked with a wide range of individuals and groups, including private clients, group classes, and corporate wellness programs. Some of the companies I’ve partnered with include Miami Dade College, Porsche, Velocitas, Parkway Management, Banco Sabadell, and Stantec Consulting. My work has also been featured in Yoga Journal Magazine (Spanish edition) , AOMM TV, and Mega TV where I developed and led wellness video series focused on holistic health, nutrition, and mindful living.

 
 

Today, I live a life that reflects the very practices I teach. I nourish my body, stay active, and stay connected to joy through yoga, music, writing, and plenty of laughter. But more than anything, I’m committed to creating meaningful connections—and helping others ignite their spark, so they too can live the life they’re meant for.
