Meet Cathy Fitzgerald, Studio and Midlife Coach.
Studio business coach and midlife coach with more than thirty years of entrepreneurial experience.
Who I Coach
My coaching reflects two parts of my life: the years I spent building studios and businesses, and the years I spent rebuilding myself.
Studio Coaching
I work privately with dance and yoga studio owners who want more clarity, stronger systems, confident leadership, and sustainable growth. With more than thirty years of real entrepreneurial experience, I help studio owners create studios that feel organized, profitable, and aligned with their vision.
Life Coaching for Women in Midlife
I also support women who are navigating transition, rediscovering themselves, or stepping into a new chapter. This work is grounded, compassionate, and focused on clarity, confidence, and emotional well being so they can move forward with purpose and ease.
My Journey
I have been an entrepreneur for more than thirty years. I built a nine hundred student dance studio, grew a successful wedding and portrait photography business in two states, helped open a yoga studio, and created a coaching practice that allows me to support women and studio owners across the country.
Life brought its own seasons of change. Divorce, raising six children, caring for my parents, leaving my home state, and starting over completely reshaped who I am. I rebuilt my life in my fifties, created a new career, and met my husband on an adventure that changed everything.
These experiences shaped the way I coach today. I understand transition, leadership, burnout, and reinvention. I know what it takes to find clarity, courage, and purpose again, no matter your age or your chapter.
How I Can Help
Studio Owners
I coach dance and yoga studios using the Sustainable Studio Growth System, a framework built around clarity, systems, leadership, and steady, sustainable growth. My approach is hands on, practical, and personalized for your studio and your life.
Women in Midlife
I support women who want clarity, confidence, and direction in their next chapter. Our work together is grounded, compassionate, and focused on what matters most in your life today.
Workshops
I teach workshops for studio owners and women who want inspiration, clarity, and connection.
A Little More About Me
I love spending time outdoors, especially along the beaches of Northern Michigan where I feel most grounded and at home.
I went through a major reinvention in my fifties and moved to Michigan with everything I owned packed into my Rav 4.
I met my husband on a solo trip to Ecuador, and that adventure changed the entire course of my life.
I love helping women feel strong, clear, supported, and confident again — because I know what it feels like to rebuild a life with courage and intention.
