About Me

Health. Healing. Stewardship. Wholeness.

Body, Mind, Spirit — and even Finances.

Hi, I’m Markela D. McFadden — ISSA Certified Fitness & Wellness Professional, forthcoming Author of Nourished: A Journey of Faith and Food Freedom, medical billing and coding specialist, accounting and finance graduate, and a current student pursuing a doctoral degree in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis on Christian Ministry. I am a woman of faith who believes that true transformation starts from the inside out. My journey into wellness wasn’t about perfection — it was about purpose. I learned very quickly that health is more than meal plans and workouts. It’s also emotional health, spiritual health, and even financial health because stress from ANY area of life can impact your body, your energy, your weight, and your peace.

Today, I help people become whole — not just healthier.

🌿 My Certifications & Degrees Have One Mission: To Help You Thrive

ISSA Fitness & Wellness Certifications

My ISSA background gives me the tools to help you build strength, confidence, and a healthier relationship with food and movement. I focus on sustainable wellness, not extreme dieting — so you can honor your body and live with freedom.

Medical Billing & Coding Diploma

My medical training experience working for an all natural integrated healthcare facility as a Medical Billing and Office Manager, taught me to understand health through a clinical lens — insurance, diagnosis language, prevention, the hidden cost of chronic illness, and what really impacts the body long-term. This helps me translate wellness into simple, clear strategies that protect your health and your wallet.

Degrees in Accounting & Finance

Because wellness touches every part of your life — including your financial peace — with my accounting and finance background, I can help:

Build healthier financial habits
Reduce stress eating caused by money pressure
Create budgets that support healthier living
Learn to grocery shop smarter

Treat financial stewardship as self-care because money stress affects the nervous system… which affects your sleep… which affects your weight… which affects your mood… which affects your whole life.

Wellness is connected — all of it.

✨ My Approach: Whole-Person Wellness With God at the Center

I combine faith-based mindset work:

Nutrition + movement guidance
Financial stewardship coaching
Emotional wellness tools
Accountability and compassion

Your body, your spirit, your health, your purpose, and even your finances all matter to God.

My role is to help you bring them into alignment.

💛 Why I Do This

I believe everyone deserves:

To feel strong and supported
To stop surviving and start living
To walk in food freedom, not bondage
To breathe again
To manage money with peace, not fear
To steward health with joy

This is my calling. This is my ministry. And this is the work I’m honored to walk alongside you in.

Welcome to a new kind of wellness — one that nourishes your entire life — body, mind, spirit
