OUR STORY
ARMONIA MAMA
Armonia in Italian means “harmony.” At Armonia Mama, we believe that to achieve any fitness goal, we must focus on body, mind, and soul. Mind and body are so deeply connected, especially during the magical time of pregnancy and motherhood, that working on them in a harmonious way is crucial. We honor your thoughts and emotions, and help you transform them into powerful tools. Our mission is to make you strong from the outside, but also from the inside, starting from a place of self-love and self-acceptance. Women, in particular new moms, can be very hard on themselves and their bodies, especially with the negative pressure from society of “bouncing back” as quick as possible. At Armonia Mama, we believe in embracing your body in the present moment, celebrating the miracle of life, and achieving your goals in an empowering and supporting environment. We want you to glow, feel beautiful and be in harmony within yourself!

MEET LAURA
The founder of Armonia Mama is Laura Cornago, a passionate and enthusiastic Italian pre & post-natal exercise specialist based in Ballantyne, Charlotte. Laura has been a certified personal trainer for over 15 years, she graduated in Sport Sciences in Milan, Italy, and worked with various clients in Lake Como, London, and Miami. Her passion for pre & post-natal fitness led her to become a certified pre & post-natal corrective exercise specialist and pre & post-natal diastasis and core consultant. The education that she acquired was so beneficial during her own pregnancy and post-partum that she decided to completely dedicate her career to empowering mothers through fitness! And so, she created Armonia Mama as a subset of her previous company, Armonia Fitness.

ABOUT LAURA
FUN FACTS + FAVORITES
♡ I grew up in the Lake Como mountains. I used to hike to our tiny shack in the middle of nowhere with my books and would study there in the peace of nature. Once in a while, a flock of sheep would pass by and interrupt the silence of the woods!
♡ I competed as a Sprinter for many years during my younger years; so did my grandfather and mom. You bet fast twitch fibers run in the family!
♡ After graduating, I moved to London for 6 months to learn English and work as an au pair. I fell in love with the city, and 6 months became 6 years!
♡ Hubby and I love doing triathlons! Since our dating years, we started to train and race together. We transformed an individual sport into a couple sport! We have the cheesiest pictures holding each other’s hands at the finish line of all the races we did! We even did a Half Ironman in Cozumel for our honeymoon, and called it an Iron-moon!
♡ We have a daughter and son, but our first born was a furry baby, now a 60 pound rescue dog that has been the sweetest big sister to our children and spends most of her days living as a couch potato.
♡ I love pizza and coffee; can you tell I am Italian?!
Stay fit and healthy. For you. And for them. - laura
