Like most fitness professionals I know, I wear many hats. In addition to teaching group fitness classes since 2011, I am a psychology professor at a local community college, and am currently working on my dissertation as a grad student. Needless to say, I keep myself busy! Unfortunately that means I have a very close relationship with burnout and for many years my default mode was feeling mentally scattered, physically exhausted, and pretty unsure of my purpose.  

Thankfully though, I found something that helped me reconnect with myself and gain clarity on my vision: mindfulness.  Mindfulness helped me slow down long enough to step back and see that all the many pieces of me were actually the beginning of my best adventure yet, the creation of The Mindful Fit Pro.

My background in mental health advocacy, education in psychology, and passion for sharing the joy of movement with others is what ultimately led me to build The Mindful Fit Pro as a space for other fitness professionals to learn how truly impactful their work can be.

As a fitness instructor or personal trainer, you have the ability to transform lives for the better, physically and mentally. You not only help people feel stronger, you uplift their spirits and hold space for people to meet lifelong friends. Your job is literally life-giving. That’s some powerful stuff!

My dream is that every fitness professional can see their full potential, if only we didn’t get in our own ways.

Through positive psychology-based coaching and mindfulness tools, The Mindful Fit Pro is here to help fitness professionals…

• learn how to find their footing in the present moment so they can show up fully for everything they do
• shift out of scarcity mindset and look inwards to find the unique strengths that set them apart
• shine a spotlight on their inherent talents so their dream clients are naturally drawn to them
• overcome chronic people-pleasing so they can build a sustainable career helping more people stay active
• awaken deep-rooted confidence and quiet self-doubt so they feel completely in their element leading classes or training clients
• discover the full extent of their impact and feel fulfilled by their ability to change lives

The Mindful Fit Pro offers a variety of opportunities for fitness professionals to learn how to trust in themselves and believe in the difference they are making, including a blog, podcast, guided meditations, masterclasses, and virtual courses.
