Health & Fitness Mindset Coach (Injury & Setback Recovery Specialist)

As a Health and Fitness Mindset Coach, I help athletes and active individuals rebuild their confidence, identity, and motivation after injury or major disruption to their physical routines. My work is grounded in a simple truth: when your body is forced to stop, your mind often becomes the biggest barrier to starting again. I guide clients through the emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges that arise when movement is no longer effortless, predictable, or pain‑free.

My coaching practice was shaped by lived experience. I know firsthand what it feels like to have your physical abilities suddenly taken from you, to watch your routines collapse, and to question whether you’ll ever return to the version of yourself you once knew. That journey taught me that recovery is never just physical. It requires rebuilding identity, re‑establishing trust in your body, and learning to navigate fear, frustration, and self‑doubt
