Ready to FEEL GOOD about fitness?!?!
“Fitness isn’t any funnnnn!!!!!”
-You, probably
And guess what?
💥 You’re right. 💥
What we’ve been taught about exercise is gross and terrible.
You can thank Toxic Fitness Culture for that.
You know the drill:
- Start a new program ✨super✨ motivated… and then can’t stick to it past week two.
- Beat yourself up for skipping workouts during the holidays, even though you’re maxed out.
- Drag yourself to the gym, overdo it, and spend days recovering while feeling like you’ve “fallen behind.”
- Plan to start Monday morning… and then hit snooze (again).
Low-key dread the workout you swore you’d do, but somehow find yourself deep-cleaning the fridge instead.
💬 “What’s wrong with me? I know working out is good for me! I just can’t seem to stay consistent…”
👉 Research shows that about half of people who begin exercise programs drop out within a few months.

What Is a Feel-Good Fitness Coach?
A feel-good fitness coach helps you move your body in a way that actually feels good — not like punishment, not like a test, and definitely not like you’re failing if you don’t “crush it” every day.
We’re not chasing perfection here.
We’re building momentum, consistency, and trust — without the toxic pressure.
As your coach, I treat you like the Elite Everyday Athlete you are. Whether you’re lifting groceries, chasing toddlers, recovering from burnout, or just trying to make it to your next Zoom call without neck pain — your body is working hard. You deserve support that honors that.
I’m not here to micromanage your reps or shame your food choices.
I’m here to help you build a movement practice that meets you where you are — and that you might even (gasp) look forward to.
The Problem Isn’t You. It’s Toxic Fitness Culture.
Toxic Fitness Culture teaches us that:
- Workouts only count if they leave you sore or soaked in sweat
- You should be able to “push through” no matter what
- Rest is lazy
- Fitness is about changing how you look — not how you feel
And if you don’t follow those rules to the letter?
😬 You end up in that messy cycle of guilt, overdoing it, falling off, and starting over.
Fitness starts to feel like a job you’re bad at.
But here’s the truth:
You’re not bad at fitness. Fitness has been bad to you.
Burnout research shows that chronic pressure, lack of autonomy, and unrealistic expectations don’t build resilience — they erode it. This is exactly what shame-based fitness culture does over time.

How a Feel Good Fitness Coach Does It Differently
I approach movement through three powerful, supportive pillars:
Intuitive Movement
You don’t need to be more disciplined.
You need workouts that don’t make you want to hide under a blanket.
We’ll help you:
- Find movement that feels energizing, not exhausting
- Create consistency by listening to your body instead of fighting it
- Feel strong, mobile, and connected to yourself
Spoiler: If you’re skipping the gym to color-code your spice rack, it’s not a discipline issue — it’s a misalignment issue. Let’s find movement you’d never ghost.
Behavioral scientist Dr. Michelle Segar’s research shows that movement actually sticks when it’s framed as a source of enjoyment and quality of life — not obligation or self-control.

The Joy Choice
Intuitive Eating
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t deserve to eat that because I skipped my workout,” please know — you’ve been lied to.
Here’s what we actually do:
- Untangle your relationship with food from your relationship with movement
- Break out of the guilt–restriction–binge cycle
- Learn to eat in ways that support your energy, mood, and performance
You don’t need more willpower.
You need permission to trust your body again.
👉 Intuitive eating is a weight-neutral, evidence-based eating framework developed by dietitians that supports psychological well-being and reduces disordered eating.

Body Image Coaching
You don’t have to love your body to treat it with care.
You just need to stop fighting it long enough to listen.
Together, we:
- Dismantle the belief that your body is a “before” project
- Build body neutrality — a mindset where respect and support come first
- Reclaim movement as a source of joy and confidence
Let me say this louder: You don’t have to earn your rest, your food, or your self-respect.
You are allowed to feel good now.
A systematic review on intuitive eating shows robust associations between tuning into internal cues, improved body satisfaction, and psychological well-being — underlining that care and respect matter more than external appearance standards.

Systematic Review on Intuitive Eating
Why This Works (When Other Approaches Don’t)
Because we’re not playing by the old rules.
Instead of forcing yourself through rigid, unsustainable programs, we create a path that’s:
- Compassionate AND consistent
- Flexible AND grounded
- Empowering AND practical
My clients don’t just do workouts — they become athletes in their own lives.
They learn how to:
- Move in ways that support their nervous system (not fry it)
- Make space for movement even on the busiest weeks
- Come back to fitness over and over again — not out of shame, but out of self-respect
Research on exercise adherence consistently shows that people are more likely to stick with movement long-term when it supports autonomy, enjoyment, and personal relevance — rather than relying on rigid prescriptions, external pressure, or willpower alone.

What Real Progress Looks Like
✨ You stop dreading workouts
✨ You move more because it feels good — not because you “have to”
✨ You trust your body to tell you what it needs
✨ You show up, imperfectly but consistently
✨ You finally feel like movement belongs to you
No weigh-ins.
No bootcamps.
No before-and-after nonsense.
Just you, getting stronger in every sense of the word.
According to the CDC, regular physical activity improves mental health, mobility, and long-term health outcomes — even when body weight doesn’t change at all.
