About Us

Originally from the Dominican Republic, Eva left her home (and a civil engineering career) behind to start a new life for herself and her children in the US. Here, she drew on an extensive collection of degrees in sports medicine, nutrition, exercise physiology, personal training, and physical therapy to strike out on her own and pursue her dream of building a personal training business. Eva’s deep knowledgebase, vivaciousness, tenacity, and uncanny ability to identify how to help her clients achieve their wellness goals resulted in her quick ascent to the position of best-kept fitness secret on the Upper East Side.

Eva believes in providing clients with knowledge and self-awareness, not selling them the promise of fast results. This philosophy is imbued in all the offerings at Wellness+ Studio. Her goal is simple—it's to help you reach yours! Whether you’re working to recover from a sports injury, improve your physical conditioning and appearance, or enhance your overall quality of life, Eva will create a highly personalized and holistic program that provides you the care you deserve from the inside out.
