Meet Tovara:

Tovara Salley is an Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) certified holistic health coach, National Academy of Metabolic Science (NAMS) nutrition consultant, muscle testing practitioner and wellness mentor dedicated to helping people create sustainable, lifelong change through balanced nutrition, movement, and self-compassion. Tovara works one-on-one with clients to build realistic, personalized approaches to health that go far beyond restrictive dieting or quick fixes. 

Rooted in her own personal transformation journey, Tovara brings honesty, relatability, and deep empathy to her coaching. After navigating periods of emotional eating, weight struggles, and burnout herself, she developed a sustainable approach to wellness centered on nourishment, strength, mobility, and long-term health. Her philosophy embraces balance — encouraging clients to fuel their bodies with intention while still making room for joy, flexibility, and real life. 

Known for creating a safe and authentic coaching environment, Tovara helps clients overcome roadblocks related to nutrition, movement, mindset, and accountability. Her work focuses on helping people reconnect with their bodies, build confidence, and establish habits that support both their present and future selves.

In addtion to her wellness practice, Tovara is involved in the yoga community through Metta Yoga Studios, where she serves as the Director of Human Resources. She also enjoys making pottery, singing, hiking with her pup - Pippin and making delicious meals at home with her partner Danny.

Tovaras coaching style blends compassion, accountability, and practical guidance — empowering clients to pursue health from a place of self-respect and compassion rather than punishment and restriction.

 

“Words to describe Tovara? Compassionate, Driven, Dedicated. Tovara consistently shows up for me, always challenging me to show up for myself and grow. She leads by example yet knows that she can learn something from everyone. She is truly an exceptional coach, friend and human being.”
