WA-Body Connection is a family partnership that emerged from a love for bodybuilding and nutrition, which was able to transform our lives by changing our lifestyle.
Just like everyone who struggles with the scale, we know how difficult it is to deal with low self-esteem and especially to overcome obstacles to reach our goal. Many times we look for the shortest path and want to believe that there is a miracle solution that will get us out of this dark place.
We spend money on useless procedures, we go on crazy diets, we buy miracle pills, we read fad diet magazines, we starve ourselves, we exorcise food, and all we waste is time and money, because the pounds on the scale always come back and sometimes even increase.
We lie to ourselves until our physical and emotional problems start to get worse and we need to find a definitive solution.
It happened to us, so we decided to change our lives and started studying nutrition to understand how bodybuilders manage to manipulate their weight so efficiently. Despite having extensive training experience, when we stop training and neglect our diet, we gain a lot of weight, just like all of our family members.
We were guinea pigs for our own experience. We applied all the nutritional knowledge we had learned, re-educated ourselves on our eating habits, went back to training, studied the biochemical and hormonal changes that the body undergoes during the weight loss and hypertrophy process, studied behavioral nutrition, and achieved fantastic results.
People started looking for us to find out what we had done, and we decided to use all of our knowledge and offer our weight loss and bodybuilding consulting services.
We are always improving our skills with the best professionals in the field to serve our clients.
To this day, our work has always been promoted by word of mouth. Our clients are our best advertisement, but we felt the need to have a space for professional promotion.
We have been serving Switzerland since 2019 and are here to help you achieve your goal.
About me
Hi, my name is Alessandra, I'm 47 years old, I'm married and I have a 13-year-old son. I was born in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, but I grew up in Baixada Santista. I come from a family of European origin, which always associated celebration with food, which had very little knowledge of nutrition and which always used the speech: “You can’t leave leftovers, because there are many children who don’t have anything to eat!” or “Throwing food away is a sin!”.
Waste is wrong, but these statements generate guilt, make us eat more and can cause eating disorders. My family didn’t have much money, so our diet was always based on refined carbohydrates, little protein and a lot of fat.
My paternal grandfather died of a heart attack very young, my maternal grandfather had diabetes and suffered two strokes, my paternal grandmother had diabetes and kidney failure, my maternal grandmother had angina and my entire family, including uncles and cousins, suffer from obesity.
I started to gain weight in my adolescence, because at the age of 12 I was studying and working, I didn’t exercise anymore. By the age of 16 I was already overweight. At the time, the girls’ gyms were open during business hours and I had little free time, but the gyms were open Open from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and on weekends. We could only train in old clothes, because we would leave there covered in rust. At first it was strange, because there were no other women, but over time they started to train weight training.
At the time, the instructors were bodybuilding athletes who taught what they had tested on themselves. I learned quickly, I started reading everything about training, physiology and biomechanics, at 18 I was already working as a personal trainer for other women who didn't like being trained by men, but the salary for a trainer was low and in Brazil you need more to survive, I saw training as a hobby, so I went to university and studied Portuguese and pedagogy, but I never gave up training. I always felt very happy helping people achieve their goals. I even opened a body aesthetics clinic to help with the results.
After the birth of my son, I discovered that I had osteoarthritis in both knees, which caused me a lot of pain. In 2016, we moved to Europe. I became depressed and let out all my frustration for not speaking German, for not exercising, for not having social contact. I weighed 120 kg. So I went to study nutrition and finished in 2019, but with the COVID crisis, things only got worse.
In 2023, after the orthopedist said that I needed 2 knee replacements, but that they would not support my excess weight and that I would soon need another, more complicated surgery, I decided to start a diet and in 3 months I lost 20 kg, but my new goal was to build muscle. I went back to training with the help of my husband, who is also a trainer, and after 9 months I lost another 10 kg and built muscle. Now I have less pain and can postpone the surgery for 10 years. I have already regained support and mobility.
I then decided to use the 20 years of experience and training studies that I brought from Brazil and also train as a trainer with an emphasis on rehabilitation here in Europe so that I could help other people who suffer from the same problem.

About me
I'm William, I'm 38 years old, married and have a 13-year-old son. I was born and raised in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. Of German and Spanish origin, my family didn't have much money, so our diet was always based on refined carbohydrates, little protein and a lot of fat, which is why my grandparents and uncles died prematurely.
I myself suffered from obesity and depression, which led me to even consider suicide, but through bodybuilding and a healthier lifestyle, I overcame my problem. Since I already had experience in training and nutrition from having been doing bodybuilding since I was 16 and absorbing as much knowledge as possible from my trainers, I got over that phase in less than 6 months and even my doctors didn't believe me. I didn't dismiss medical help, but I knew I had to do something for myself.
I improved and studied more to help people who faced the same problem and realized that this was what gave me pleasure, so I decided to dedicate myself more and officially become a coach. However, as time went by, healthy people also started looking for me to improve their sports performance, and so that I could better understand the challenges athletes face, I decided to participate in a Bodybuilding championship. I sought out more experienced professionals to guide me and to try out everything I had learned on myself. At 37 years old, with only 1 year of preparation, I participated in the Mr. Universe in Liechtenstein and came 7th in my category, which for me was a victory. Because anyone who has ever faced difficulties in losing weight, gaining muscle or due to physical or psychological health problems knows how difficult it is.
I took new courses to improve my training, high performance and sports nutrition techniques in Germany and Brazil to establish myself as a leading professional in this area. I continue to improve my body and mind to achieve 1st place in the next championship and with more experience I can be more assertive in the body transformation processes not only for the athletes I work with, but also for those who want to be healthier and have a better quality of life.
My goal is to provide the best results for my clients, keeping an eye on new scientific discoveries, training techniques and supplementation, aiming at physical and emotional health and injury prevention.
