fitness & mindset coaching for people who are ready to master more than just their bodies

This is where physical discipline and inner work meet to unlock real, lasting change you can truly take pride in.

Phoenix rising client progress

You have the discipline.

You just lost yourself in it.

You've spent years spinning your wheels, feeling controlled by food, insecure in your body, like it's all or nothing, always.

You could easily cut out more food, do more cardio, be more restrictive, but that's just the same all-or-nothing cycle.

But here's what I’ve learned — and what my clients have lived out:

When you stop chasing the result and start honoring the work, your body responds.

It wasn't until I stopped obsessing over the end goal and learned to love the process that the physical results came.

You can shame yourself or love yourself into the same results, but the outcome feels entirely different.

Because here's the truth…

Your body is a representation of how you feel about yourself.

Not in a superficial way, in a deep, foundational way.

When you stop abandoning yourself, when you set boundaries, follow through on your word, regulate your emotions, build real confidence… your body responds.

The physique goals you've been forcing your way toward?

They come with ease when you're finally working with yourself instead of against yourself.

That's what Phoenix Rising is all about.

Not just training and nutrition (though I do that.)

Not just hormone and gut health optimization (though I do that too.)

I coach you through the moments of self-sabotage that no app or algorithm ever could.

I take the time to understand you and to build a real relationship with you so that you're not alone as you outgrow everything you've known.

I help you master your mind, your emotions, and your life, using fitness as the foundation.

What My Clients Have to Say

"I have nothing but amazing things to say about Celia. I love her as a coach. She knows the right things to say, even on weeks that I don’t do well, she finds the positive in everything and I feel like that’s so uplifting and such a great characteristic about her. On days that I feel that I can’t, she reminds me that I can. "I’m grateful for this program. I now have a better relationship with food and have a healthier lifestyle overall and am so happy to see how my quality of life has changed for the better. Even on days where I can treat myself, I’m able to eat in moderation "I have better confidence now that I’m in better shape. This is what I really needed especially after having my baby. I didn’t feel great about myself and that has completely changed. I have changed so much for the better thanks to her! I’m wearing sports bras to the gym now! Something that was a goal of mine." -JD N.
"I retained Celia before undergoing surgery, and as part of the rehabilitation process. I have since retained her services on a permanent basis because I have been extremely pleased with the results. Over the last 30 years I’ve hired 7 personal trainers. See is by far the best. Her knowledge of technique, the ability to work around my physical limitations, and her encouragement to strive have delivered results I had not expected to ever see. Simply put, my training sessions with her are time and money very well spent." -Fabian G.
"Celia gave me such great direction and confidence in prioritizing my health. Without her I wouldn’t have the motivation to continue weight lifting. I wouldn’t have seen the results of drinking protein. Nor would I have regulated my sleep schedule, and other habits in my life. “learned the importance of putting my health first and gained insight on nutrition. There were so many times where I doubted myself in continuing in my health journey but I’m still keeping a lot of the habits today. "It's cool to see how much stronger I got since I first started this program. I'm seeing a lot of changes in my energy, and I feel my muscles more so I guess I'm getting more toned. I'm grateful for being more active. I've honestly surprised myself with how consistent I work out now." -Joan A.
"I appreciate all the work and patience Celia has put in with my reluctant self. I am feeling good. My body looks better. I'm moving better. I did 19 pull-ups at one time. I can see my abs are a bit more defined. I feel good at this weight. My back and body do not hurt anymore and I am ready to maintain. I'm comfortable with myself and how I look. I really appreciate everything Celia has taught me. I've dropped 15 lbs and feel great. My pants are significantly looser and I had to punch another hole in my belt. Thank you for getting me on the right track!" -Tad T.
“I’ve gained a good foundation for habits like the regular walks, getting better with being nicer to myself, and I don’t think I’ve binged in quite a while. Social situations are getting easier: I was able to plan ahead and limit myself the last time I went out with a friend. I definitely feel the difference too in how my clothes lay and improved mobility.” -Becca R.

I founded Phoenix Rising because it's everything I needed when I began my fitness journey and didn't have.

I wanted to build strength, feel confident in my body, move pain-free, and finally stop feeling like I was at war with myself.

I spent years trapped in the same cycle… restricting, overtraining, feeling like I was failing no matter how hard I worked.

Real transformation didn't start until I stopped fighting my body and started working with it.

Slowing down. Learning to do less, but with more intention. Repairing my relationship with food.

And most importantly, addressing the mental and emotional patterns that had kept me stuck for years.

Phoenix Rising is the process I wish someone had handed me, and now it's yours.
