A Little About Me

My name is Yajaira, and I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I got my start 14 years ago working in the medical field in a non-patient facing role for Stanford Health Care in Palo Alto, CA. While there, I met my husband and gave birth to two amazing kids! Shortly after the birth of my first child, it became more of a reality that I needed to improve not only my health and wellness, but also my daughters’.

I immersed myself in learning about fitness, nutrition, and naturopathic ways of improving overall lifestyle. After having my second child, I felt a had a better grasp on what was working well and just as importantly - what was not- for my family and I regarding our wellness. Fast forward to late 2020, I finally found inspiration and knew my true calling. I realized I needed to take my knowledge to the next level and pursue that continuation of knowledge and education in the health and wellness world, and furthermore take that knowledge to help others. I decided to join the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) to become a certified Health and Wellness Coach, where I completed my certification in August of 2022.

I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your vision of wellness and learn to thrive!

Why I Started Welkin Wellness

After graduating from the FMCA program, I had a newfound drive to share my passion. I wanted to help people to see past traditional health care options, reconnect with themselves, and pursue a more holistic way of obtaining their health and wellness goals. I created Welkin Wellness to do just that. It is my goal as a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach to partner with each client and provide them with personalized support to achieve their goals. I am passionate about holistic health and recognize the important of mindset. Knowing how valuable this knowledge was in helping me in my journey, I am passionate about helping others like me.
