At 32, Sierra Bender was pronounced dead. A misdiagnosed ectopic pregnancy ruptured her uterus causing her to bleed to death.  Sierra survived thanks to a Vietnam vet doctor who used his knowledge of warfare medicine. Sierra’s survival is a miraculous triumph against incredible odds. 

Modern medicine may have saved her life, but her dance with death changed her forever. After spending thousands of dollars, time, and effort, she could no longer invest in a system that band-aides symptoms instead of healing the core issue. Suffering from depression and lack of purpose, Sierra went on a quest to find answers, leaving behind a lucrative career as an entrepreneur, personal trainer, model and wife.  

For over a decade Sierra traveled the world and immersed herself in ancient traditions and healing modalities. From the eastern philosophy of India, to the earth wisdom of Native American reservations, to medicinal practices of the Amazon jungle and energetic surgery of the Peruvian shamans, Sierra healed and found her purpose. 

With this newfound knowledge and wisdom of the sages, Sierra gave birth to the internationally renowned Boot Camp for Goddesses®, a week-long retreat for women to redefine fitness, beauty and power.  A no nonsense approach to health and healing that does not need to be an expensive, lengthy and confusing process.

Thousands of women around the world have been helped through Sierra’s work as a healer. After years of being asked about her path, Sierra shares her story in her newly released book, Goddess to the Core® An Inspired Workout to Maximize your Fitness, Beauty & Power.  Sierra’s mission and purpose in life is to spread her message so that every woman can be empowered and receive what they desire, require and deserve.  

Sierra lives in Pennsylvania with her horse Simply Divine, her chocolate lab Maya and her princess warrior cat Zena.  

Sierra is certified as a Prana Yoga & Kripalu Yoga teacher, Holistic Nutritional Counselor, Kripalu bodyworker, massage therapist, personal fitness trainer, medical intuitive and energetic healer. She is also trained in exercise physiology, aromatherapy, menopausal health, addictions and trauma. Sierra leads wholistic trainings, certification programs and retreats for corporations and professionals in the health, healing and fitness industries.
