Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Pamela Sarmiento. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Pamela, thanks for joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

My name is Pamela Sarmiento, co-founder of Pametarium, a healthy lifestyle oriented company with passion for inclusivity and body positivity.

Our meal prep company stands by the idea that every body is beautiful and that health/beauty has no shape, size, weight, culture, gender, etc. All bodies are welcome here, and all we want is for you to feel whole in your overall life.

Let’s face it, fitness is just the tip of the iceberg; its the consequence of several pieces in your life puzzle that don’t quite add up in your mindset.
I believe wellness begins with the alignment of all the the ground elements in your life in order for you to address your concerns.

Pamela, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am an hybrid athlete that loves fitness and bodybuilding! My most authentic form of love is the act of service to others through cooking and teaching. I love to share my stories and the lessons that I earned from them.

I started my journey self by studying what intrigued me the most: why is it so “normal” and disturbingly common to have eating disorders. I decided to go all the way by becoming a personal trainer, martial artist, yoga teacher, nutrition coach, behavioral counselor and of course, a healthy cook owning a meal prep company business.

I studied my self and others in order to overcome ever evolving names of mainstream dieting trends and came up with something simple, less complicated and realistic. Like eating healthy good food while achieving your goals drama free. I believe healthy lifestyle is for every BODY.

Pametarium is a meal prep delivery service in Miami that delivers freshly prepared meals from our kitchen to your doorstep daily. All of our meals are never frozen, with quality ingredients, containing balanced proteins, vegetables and complex carbohydrates.

Our team of culinary experts cook and prepare the meals daily with over 200 recipe options so that you never get tired. Forget about planning your meals for the week, going to the grocery store every 3 days, or cooking and cleaning. Leave the dirty work to us and enjoy your time doing what you love.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

I believe the world can be better place if we practice a balanced life, inclusivity, and gender equality through sharing food.

We are a brand built for/by a new generation of people who identify as multitalented, busy entrepreneurs and multicultural.

I chose to coach healthy habits, self-confidence, body positivity and fitness lifestyle by celebrating kindness to the body during the process of transformation.

Being on different sports and working on different places, meaning I had to could my self form the ground, created a reputation in the female community. I think your first clients are your true friends that see your passion and are willing to spend, invest and help you with money while you upgrade your business. I believe that the first person that pays you for your first item sold is that bust of confidence you will have to be forever grateful.

I have been very open about what I think if the fitness industry, beauty standards and patriarchy, and I want to believe that is my greatest asset. To consider your self brave enough to speak your truth and honor the current leve your business is at, will make your reputation unshakable.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

Referrals have been our first marketing move and power engine. Marketing and branding, when you have no budget what so ever, is quite a challenge. You have to learn all the positions of your company in order to hire the right people and the service.

Instagram is algo a great tool to connect with people, if you look at all free platforms, they are the best way to put your self out there, The key to show your authenticity is to allow your self to be vulnerable, to admit when you make a mistake, and also when you have a difficult day.
Collaborations with friends that saw my process has been also a blessing. I think that when people see your are a hard worker and that you learn from your mistakes, you move forward easier. This makes people that you look up to wanna work with you, in my case Sean Casey, the owner of Raw Fit, is one of my inspirations. I am involve with his work ethic and drive.
