About Victoria Islas, B.Msc.
Certified Health Coach, Personal Trainer, and Metaphysical Practitioner.
The story so far…
Hey, I’m Victoria! Health Coach, Certified ISSA Master Trainer, and founder of Steel Mace Warrior and SMW Fitness & Health Coaching in Yuma,AZ.
Over the years, more than 100,000 people have tuned into my videos, and 200+ students around the world have taken my online courses. But my story didn’t start with success. It started with pain, loss, and a deep need for healing (And I am still healing everyday).
When my dad passed in 2017 from preventable chronic illness, I found myself in a place of grief and survival. That’s when I picked up a steel mace, not just for fitness, but as a way to process my pain. Then, I became the full-time caregiver for my mom, who I eventually lost too. Living through that kind of heartache, while also managing my own autoimmune condition, cracked me wide open. It changed how I saw health, movement, and what it really takes to feel whole again.
Today, I bring over 7 years of experience blending unconventional training, holistic health coaching, and metaphysical tools that get to the root of what’s really going on physically, emotionally, and energetically. I’m not just certified on paper (though I am: ISSA Master Trainer, Health Coach, Reiki 1 & 2, and a Bachelor’s in Metaphysical Science)…I’ve lived this path. I get it.
I work with women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and soul-led folks who want to feel strong in their body and safe in their spirit. This isn’t about perfection or aesthetics. This is about feeling like yourself again. About feeling grounded, powerful, and aligned.
Let’s work together and reclaim your wellness on your terms.

MY WHY
This is the mission and the purpose
I’ve walked through deep struggles: physically, mentally, and emotionally.
From battling weight issues, anxiety, and depression to grieving the loss of both my parents, and managing an autoimmune condition daily…my path has been far from easy. But every setback became part of my healing and transformation, and now I’m here to walk alongside others on their own journey.
I believe healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, it’s deeply personal.
I’ve always known I was meant to help others. I’m an intuitive healer at heart, and my mission is to guide people back to their own wisdom, so they can create lasting wellness in a way that’s true to them.
I’m here to rewrite the toxic narratives around health and worth.
I used to believe diet pills, energy drinks, and pre-workouts were the answer. That weight loss meant happiness. That was a dangerous road that landed me in the hospital. No one should feel like they have to hurt themselves to feel seen or accepted. Now, I teach a different path…one rooted in self-love, self-care, and real nourishment.
I’m called to serve the folks who are often left out of the wellness space.
Women, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities deserve a safe and inclusive space to thrive. The fitness industry is loud with fear-based tactics and false promises, and I’m here to cut through the noise with a grounded, mind-body-spirit approach that empowers people to take their health into their own hands.
