Dear FitPro’s:
In the fitness world, discipline can easily turn into pressure — teaching to guarantee your workout, tying food or body expectations to credibility, or pushing forward because that’s simply what professionals do. These patterns can feel normal, even when they quietly start to take a toll.
I know this because I’ve lived it myself. I loved that movement was built into my job — it guaranteed I stayed active, and no one questioned it. For a long time, I didn’t question the bigger picture either. It took multiple doctors and difficult conversations for me to recognize that what looked like dedication on the outside was actually masking habits that weren’t supporting my health. In this industry, rehearsing for hours, staying tightly controlled with food, and constantly training can all look like commitment — and often no one challenges it, because you’re a fit pro. That realization was a turning point.
Today, I bring that lived experience together with my work as a psychologist and professor to help fitness professionals evaluate what’s really driving their habits and build a healthier, more sustainable way forward.
Who I help:
I work primarily with women in the fitness industry who are deeply committed to their work and the people they serve. Many teach multiple classes, coach clients, or train consistently, and fitness is more than a job — it’s part of their identity and daily routine.
Often, they’re the kind of person who:
Feels responsible for showing up energized and disciplined, even when they’re tired
Uses teaching or training to guarantee their own movement or structure
Holds themselves to high standards around food, health, or body image
Quietly wonders whether their habits are truly supporting their health
Finds it easier to care for clients than to step back and care for themselves
Some are early in their careers, others more established, and many have supportive partners or families — yet still feel pressure to keep pushing and “stay on track.”
They don’t necessarily want to leave fitness. They want a healthier, more sustainable way to live and work within it.
Therapeutic Approach
My job is to help you, to help yourself. I do that by asking the kinds of questions that help you evaluate what’s happening and make intentional decisions — questions like “Do you like your reasons?” and “Is this a thought or a fact?” These help us cut through the noise, identify what’s driving your choices, and build strategies that actually support you.
The goal isn’t to change who you are — it’s to help you trust your own judgment and move forward with clarity and confidence.
