ABOUT SOMAOMNIA
Yelena Paul created SomaOmnia (Mango Fitness) as a children’s health and wellness company in 2008, while holding sports classes at her daughter’s school. The wealth of talent and diverse abilities inspired the integration of personal training and nutritional advice into SomaOmnia’s functional approach to health. Working parallel as a personal trainer in smaller as well as luxury sports clubs, Yelena established a diverse following of female clients, servicing adults and children accumulating over 25 years of experience in (pre/post) natal, pre-conception, (peri/post) menopause, pregnancy and children’s health.
Throughout her career as a PT, Yelena consistently referred to nutrition, the principals of which she often integrated into her clients’ performance and recovery. Nutrition has long been a key element to achieving her personal and professional goals, made possible by the foundation Yelena acquired while studying for her MA degree in Physical Education, with specialization in three fields; Physical Rehabilitation, Track and Field Coaching and Teaching P.E. The demand for an uncompromising understanding of biochemistry, anatomy, psychology and physiology (among other subjects) was formative in Yelena’s preparation as a health professional, but also in her self-discipline for continuously pursuing new research and approaches to understanding the human body. This is what drove Yelena to undertake a diploma in Nutritional Therapy at the London College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2016.
Alongside her academic studies, Yelena has actively sought to expand and challenge what SomaOmnia can offer its clients, through attending numerous conferences, seminars and workshops within and outside the UK. Along the way, SomaOmnia has established strong relationships with the likes of Invivo Healthcare, Nordic Laboratories, Omega Quant, Great Plains Laboratory, Regenerus Labs, Genova Diagnostics, Functional Dx, ensuring that our clients not only have access to the latest clinical insights and products, but also to international bastions of leading research and technologies.
