Hello!
My name is Hilery Hutchinson and I have been interested in fitness since I was a little girl working out with Mousercise on the Disney channel and playing with my workout barbie and LA Gear weight set.
I watched my dad battle brain cancer most of my childhood and that is actually what motivated me to enter this field. He was always active until the very end and had a love of sports, so I thought fitness was also a way to honor him. It led me to get quite a few of my specialty certifications and I have worked very closely with a wide variety of health problems and physical disabilities. I am a Cancer Exercise Specialist, I teach Adaptive Yoga for the Disabled, and Yoga of the Heart for Cardiac Rehab and Cancer Patients. I also virtually train caregivers to stretch out their loved ones or patients in bed and use aromatherapy, Ayurveda, and natural remedies to help soothe their ailments.
My true experience in the fitness world really began when I was 14. At that time I was growing too fast, my knees were dislocating, and my doctor told me I better start lifting weights. I started working with a personal trainer and never had a knee problem again. I think that planted a little seed on how transformative personal training can be. I feel like I have been in the gym ever since! Now I have 55 certifications in the fitness and wellness field and I have been working in the industry for 20 years!
Learning Thai Yoga Massage over a decade ago allowed me to transition from a burned-out group exercise instructor to a world-traveling massage therapist that had plenty of time to recharge my batteries and live life on my own terms. This one training changed my life completely and is why I am so passionate about teaching others this beautiful healing art.
I have gone through my own personal journey with illness and finally found my way back to health. This was a five-year journey in figuring out how to heal which led to another evolution in my career. I spend most of my time now as a spiritual life coach helping others work on healing their past in mind, body, and spirit. Now I have my own retreat center in El Salvador and I am enjoying working in person and online with clients all over the world rather than traveling to them!
I really try to use all of my knowledge and experience to create unique programs for my clients and students. Now, I am also a spiritual life coach. I feel like my entire career path, life path, and all my certifications have really come together in a beautiful way! I really love what I do and can't imagine any other profession. Please feel free to reach out and say Hi! I would love to meet you.
