The Belly Therapist® & Founder of Fit Tribe Wellness
D. Amaadi Coleman, M.A.
Amaadi's Story
The inspiration behind Belly Therapy began with my own journey. Growing up, I was always moving—dancing, swimming, playing tennis or lifting weights. While studying abroad in Spain, I became a vegetarian and began exploring the profound connection between nutrition and health. My passion for movement and wellness made me decide to dedicate my life to helping women, especially mothers, prioritize their health and healing.
As a mother of three sons, a personal trainer, and a holistic health advocate, I combined my personal experiences and professional expertise to create Belly Therapy. After naturally healing my own diastasis, I became the first Black Tupler Technique® Trained Professional. Today, I use that knowledge to help postpartum individuals heal their bodies, rebuild their confidence, and leave a legacy of wellness for their families.
To deepen my understanding of healing, wellness and movement, I also have studied:
• Deep Soft Tissue Fascial Therapy with Maria Alfieris of Magical Hands Physical Therapy
• Traditional healing for Spirit, Belly, Womb, and Earth Tul'ix Indigenous Arts
• Spinal Health with Karimu Samuels
• Metaphysical Psychology & Classical Naturopathy at the University of Kemetian Sciences
• First Degree Reiki (Usui Reiki Ryoho Shoden) at the Spiritual Arts and Science Institute
• Kemetic Yoga with Michelle Blu
• Pilates, Water Fitness and other Movement-Based Healing Modalities
• Latin Salsa Dancing at Baltimore Salsa Dance Company: Latin, African & Cultural Dance Institute
What Sets Us Apart
What sets the Belly Therapist® apart from her competition is her unique combination of expertise, lived experience, and culturally tailored approach. As the first Black Tupler Technique® Trained Professional, she brings a specialized skill set, offering evidence-based and natural healing solutions for abdominal and pelvic floor rehabilitation that many competitors lack. Her own journey of healing abdominal muscle separation not only makes her relatable but also gives her firsthand insight into the physical and emotional challenges mothers face.
Unlike others, she focuses on providing culturally relevant care, especially for women of color, who are often overlooked in the postpartum health space. Her ability to connect with underserved communities by partnering with nonprofits ensures that her services resonate with and meet the needs of her clients. Additionally, her holistic approach integrates physical healing with emotional well-being, emphasizing the importance of self-care as part of the recovery process. By prioritizing accessibility, inclusivity, and empowerment, the Belly Therapist® goes beyond basic offerings to create a transformative experience for her clients that not only heals their bodies but also inspires them to lead healthier, more confident lives.
