Hey there, Goal Setter!
I have a few questions for you…
Do you have an upcoming race or trek you’re training for?
Are you looking to stay healthy and prevent injuries while you train?
Do you want to go into your training every day knowing exactly what to focus on to gain strength and prevent injuries and why?
Do you want to finish feeling strong and confident?
IF YOU’RE NODDING YOUR HEAD AND SAYING “YES”, YOU’VE MADE IT TO THE RIGHT PLACE!
My mission is to teach you science-backed ways to improve your strength, prevent injuries, and extend your longevity so you can tackle big dreams now and in your 80s.
Hi, I’m Chelsea!
I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Coach who’s worked with professional sports organizations, Olympians, thru-hikers in their 70’s, ultramarathoners, 5K runners in their 80’s and everyone in between - to help them go from “Will I ever run again?” to “I just ran an Ultra in the mountains!”.
You may be wondering how I got into this?
I trained as a physical therapist, worked with lots of sports organizations helping their athletes stay healthy and performance-ready at all times….and THEN…I got my real schooling.
It wasn’t until I went through years of ankle pain from an intense ankle injury that I really understood what my clients were going through.
I gave up running.
Then I gave up my workouts.
I even stopped taking longer walks.
I was tired of being frustrated, sad, and disappointed during my workouts from being in pain that I couldn’t figure out. I was honestly afraid I’d never run or hike again!
I realized I didn’t just need a rehab plan. I needed to rebuild running from the ground up.
I created a system that doesn’t just help you overcome pain and injury but teaches you the skills and science you need to prepare for bucketlist races, hikes and treks while utilizing the science of injury prevention and longevity to reach your goals.
This system helped me run and hike in the French Alps (the photo above) years after I thought I’d never run or hike again.
And this amazing thing is that this system didn’t just help me…I’ve since helped hundreds of other runners and hikers reach big goals.
My experience with chronic pain and injury taught me that running or hiking isn’t just a workout.
It’s an anchor in life that attaches you to living life on your own terms. Staying connected to your dreams…your passions….and that is invaluable.
My aim is to help you do the same... connect to the life you want to lead.
You deserve gold-standard support, and I’m on a mission to translate the information I’ve gained helping professional athletes to anyone who values staying active just as much as they do. Working with me, you’ll keep your joints healthy, strong and resilient so you can crush your goals while taking care of your body long-term!
My thorough and pin-precision 1:1 Coaching (I’ve been called the movement detective, jedi, problem solving witch and a magician…more than once) and assessment process will identify the strength, mobility and training you need to finish your bucket list race or trek feeling strong and confident.
My experience of coaching clients for a decade, along with helping professional sports organizations has taught me how identify exactly what athletes need to reach their goals.
If you’re looking for science-backed training to reach big goals while staying healthy along the way - I’m the professional to help you get there.
“When I first started working with Chelsea, walking 10 minutes was difficult. I just finished a 10K race in the mountains feeling strong!”
-Lindsey
“Now I can do things that would've been impossible before working with Chelsea. I've just returned from hiking in Patagonia. I couldn't believe how great I felt after long days of hiking in the mountains, and it's all because of Chelsea!.”
— Maggie
“I'm not only back to running, but faster and stronger than before. After beginning my work with Chelsea, and I've finally qualified for the Boston Marathon.”

Here’s how it works
Step One: Click the link above to set up a 15-minute courtesy call where you can tell me more about your needs, I’ll answer any questions you have and we’ll discuss which plan will work best for you. I offer a few options, depending on the level of support you receive throughout the month.
Step Two: You get a welcome packet where I’ll have you fill out some key information about your current needs. I like to start with a thorough history because it’s all connected and I want to make the most of your time. Even things like previous ankle sprains can affect your hips!
Step Three: You will receive a full mobility and strength assessment that I will review to determine what areas you need to focus on while preparing for the event to improve strength and reduce your injury risk.
From this, we’ll identify what exercises, gear, training plan and other strategies you need to focus on in the coming months to finish the event feeling healthy and strong.
Step Four: After signing up, here’s what you’ll receive:
-Custom strength and mobility exercises (with videos) of exactly how to train to support your goals
-A tailored mileage and elevation plan to help you reach your goals and finish feeling strong and pain-free
-Shoe and gear recommendations to reduce your risk of pain and injury
-Running form analysis to help reduce your risk of pain and injury
-Optional 1-1 check-ins during the month to help support you along the way
Here’s what I know…
Sure, you can find training plans online or ask AI to do them for you.
But take it from me…the top athletes in the world aren’t using these.
Why?
Because your injury history, mobility, strength, goals, training gear, fueling and overall life need to be considered in a science-backed format when you’re aiming for an event or race that really matters.
And I believe you deserve the same level of support, care and customization as the pros get if you have big goals and want to reach them.
My career has taught me that the ability for the human body to gain strength, fitness and reach major goals is absolutely limitless.
If you’re ready to finally have an expert on your side and a concrete plan on how to reach your goals in a healthy way, I’m the professional that will help you get there.
“I'm not only back to running, but faster and stronger than before and I've qualified for the Boston Marathon... I've learned a ton, and your ability to not only initially help me back but also to fix all the little problems from worsening is how I've done it. Every time something begins to act up, you give me a map to fix it and it works every time! I think it's 75% of runners have an injury during a given year; the ability to avoid that has helped me stack gains upon gains. Most importantly, I've got my spirit back and the optimism is warranted! ”
