The Lupus Coach®
LIZETH SANTAMARIA
Welcome! My name is Lizeth Santamaria and I live in Orlando, FL.
I am a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), The Lupus Coach®, Professional Certified Coach (PCC), as well as the Founder and Owner of Discover Your Power®, LLC. I am also a certified Energy Healer, Energy Medicine Practitioner, and Intuitive Healer. In addition, I also teach yoga at Crunch Fitness as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT® 200), and have experience as a Certified Personal Trainer, and Nutrition Coach, and approximately 20 years of coaching, and healthcare experience. I also have an extensive professional background in human resources, recruitment, career management, and leadership development, and am certified as a John C. Maxwell Speaker, Coach, and Teacher.
I really enjoy learning and have taken the time to further my education. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida in Communications specializing in Radio and Television, with a minor in Sociology, as well as my Master’s degree in Human Resources from Rollins College. I am currently furthering my education in holistic and integrative health by pursuing my PhD in the Mind-Body Medicine program at Saybrook University.

I began a life changing journey in 2006 when I was diagnosed with lupus. Lupus is a chronic illness that can damage any part of the body including skin, joints, and organs. I started experiencing various symptoms such as inflammation causing pain, hair loss, early stages of kidney failure, skin rashes, exhaustion, and a low platelet count which caused extreme bruising all over my body, and even a stroke in 2009. Being diagnosed with lupus was not easy for me to accept, and it completely changed life. Eventually, instead of letting lupus control me and my destiny, I decided to empower and educate myself about my chronic illness so I could lead a happy and healthy life.
Being diagnosed with lupus also helped me realize I was not working and living in my purpose and I knew something needed to change in my life. Around this time I was working to obtain my Master of Human Resource degree from Rollins College and I found success in various organizations as a leader in HR. Working in Human Resources allowed me the opportunity to climb the corporate ladder, help my organizations and employees, and reach my ultimate goal, which at the time was becoming a Human Resources leader and Director where I have managed and directed teams of 40+ direct reports. During that period of my life while pursuing success in my career, my journey with health, healing, purpose, and transformation began which would ultimately change the trajectory of my life. This was the start of my spiritual awakening which helped me realize my life's purpose is to coach, inspire, and help others.
In 2015, I joined the 1st group of Lupus Advocates for the Lupus Foundation of America promoting health and wellness as a motivational speaker, encouraging others to transform their lifestyles by incorporating holistic health and wellness principles, and inspiring people to heal who have struggles related to health and chronic illness. I also began furthering my studies in coaching and created a focus to coach and develop others both personally and professionally inside and outside of the workplace.
​
I was finally ready to live and work in my purpose helping and coaching others full time and ultimately decided to quit my corporate job and change my career to be a Coach! I founded Discover Your Power®, aka DYP, in February 2016. The Discover Your Power® coaching philosophy is to take a holistic approach to help and empower people to improve their health and performance, heal, live purposefully and authentically, so they can transform their lives and create the life they want! Through Discover Your Power®, I offer energy healing, holistic health and wellness, healing, and purpose coaching, coaching, yoga, personal training, and nutritional education sessions.
​​​
I helped myself heal and achieve lupus remission and now I help people with chronic illnesses who want to improve their energy, overcome health issues, feel empowered, and heal, while supporting them as they begin their journey of holistic health, healing, and well-being. I help coach, educate and empower people to heal and transform their lives so they have optimal health, energy, well-being, and live a purposeful life.
