About Us

Bethany and Auria standing together along Pacific coastline | Inclusive trauma-informed care

Bethany Busch (body) & Auria Zahed (mind)

We didn’t start Head 2 Toe Strength to sell a program.

We started it because we were tired of the shutdown. The shame. The silence.

Tired of watching women navigate pain, grief, and burnout in systems that weren’t built for them.

This began in a park during lockdown.

Movement became medicine. Friendship became lifeline.

What started as a client-trainer connection between Bethany and Auria turned into something deeper:

A shared refusal to play nice with wellness norms—and a commitment to build care that actually feels like care.

We built Head 2 Toe Strength to be the place we couldn’t find.

Here, coaching and conversation live side by side.

Here, a woman in chronic pain feels just as seen as the one rebuilding after loss.

Here, strength is redefined, shame is unraveled, and perfectionism gets called out—without apology.

We believe:

  • Movement should feel like home

  • Care should meet you where you are

  • Nutrition should fuel dignity, not discipline

  • And wellness should include every woman—especially those who’ve never felt included before

We’re not selling transformation. We’re offering reclamation.

This isn’t personal training. This isn’t advice therapy.

It’s care built from lived experience, delivered with emotional intelligence, and backed by real credentials.

From the first intake to the last stretch, we center your story—not the industry’s version of it.
