  • overcome imposter syndrome so you can become that instructor, the one with unshakeable confidence?
  • gain clarity on who your classes really serve, so you can whole-heartedly trust in your ability to make a difference in your community?
  • stay grounded and self-assured so you can quickly bounce back, even when you mix up your right and left for the 100th time?
  • embody mindfulness so you can show up fully and lead with presence, no matter how many things you’re juggling at once while teaching?
  • feel centered and ready to handle anything that comes your way even in the moments just before you’re about to mic up.
  • stand out on the schedule and build a community of people who look forward to moving together every week.
  • build your dream schedule that doesn’t require you to live at the studio or turn every self-practice session into class prep.

I see you.

You pour your heart into planning the perfect class but once it’s over you end up second guessing whether people really liked it.

You’re called to help others find the joy of movement but you’re not sure what sets you apart from all the other instructors or millions of fitfluencers on social media.

You’re quick to help out by picking up open classes but you secretly dread subbing because you just know you’ll never measure up to what people are expecting.

Teaching literally lights you up inside but you’re struggling to find time for what made you fall in love with fitness to begin with and your own workouts have turned into class planning sessions.

You don’t need another certification to feel completely within your element…

and you don’t need packed classes to feel fulfilled as a fitness instructor.

That’s because inner confidence doesn’t come from external validation, past achievements, or even how many continuing education credits you’ve collected. It comes from within you.

Confidence blossoms from action and action sprouts from trust. It comes from knowing you are capable. It comes when you feel safe to fully be yourself.

What you need is a support system you can trust and confide in when you don’t know all the answers. A group of your peers that validates your feelings and understands the unique struggles of a fitness instructor. A group where you feel safe to take action and aren’t afraid of making mistakes. What you need is guidance and community.

What can help is coaching.

Let’s see if The Mindful Fit Pro Coaching is for you, all it takes is 30 minutes and even if you decide it’s not for you, you’ll walk away with clear vision of the instructor you’re meant to be and how you can make an even bigger impact!

Hey Instructor!

I’m Shelly, a fitness instructor, a psychology professor, a mindfulness meditation facilitator, and your guide as The Mindful Fit Pro Coach. 

I’ve had the honor of helping others find joy in movement since I started teaching group fitness in college. Since those early days in a one room campus recreation center, I’ve led numerous trainings for fitness professionals in university and studio settings.

But when I first started teaching, it felt like I a quilted assortment of different styles oddly stitched together. I was throwing spaghetti at a wall, tossing out cues aimlessly and seeing what stuck. I’d watch monthly choreo releases and attempt to “copy paste” them into my own classes.

I’d take classes taught by instructors I looked up to, all while mentally taking note of what I’d do similarly or differently. I’d try to imitate what I saw work for them. 

And it did work, sort of. I had full classes but I still struggled to SEE myself as a fitness professional. I still felt stuck in the land of imposters.  Copying others made it so hard to figure out who I was as an instructor.

I eventually got to a point where I was teaching on auto-pilot, a point that I originally thought would’ve been a sign that I really knew what I was doing. If I could do something with my eyes closed, I must be good at it, right? I’ll spoil it for you: I was wrong.
