About
Hi There, I’m Doris Ward, your Mind-Body Fitness Coach.
My mission is to guide you to feel and live in ways that make you feel alive, whole and be the BOSS of your life!
You’re in the right place if:
Confidence in your body, food choices and managing your stress levels are for you!
Choosing fitness options that suit your lifestyle, needs and that you actually like are for you!
I’m here to help.
I’m here to support, encourage, be your guide and offer the tools and resources you need to feel better in your mind and body.
I get it.
Our daily lives are full.
Who has time to make fitness fit in our hectic schedules? We’re stressed, feeling overwhelmed and we’re busy! I get that too. Our inner critics get loud and we beat ourselves up. Been there. And don’t get me started on work-life balance!
But I can help you with all of this and more.
I love fitness. I love helping people. So, I joined the two together for a winning combination. Fast forward to today, I own a small business dedicated to the career doing what I love. I help people build their fitness, stress resiliency and body confidence to invite more calm and ease into their lives. I do all of this without those never-ending diets or exercise people end up dreading and instead I help others find food freedom and redefine wellness on their own terms.
All things fitness, mindfulness, confidence and getting back to your true self and feeling good in your body. I do that. Together we team up and discuss your needs, goals and how you want to feel, what you want to work towards, what makes you tick to keep you motivated for more.

My Personal Path to Confidence, Healing and Mindful Movement
I’ve been there.
Stressed to the max. Obsessing over the scale, numbers and my weight. Anxious all the time. Exercising because I “should”. Feeling guilty because I ate something I “shouldn’t” have. Got embarrassed for not feeling strong enough to say yes to attending an event because of how I felt I looked. Made choices that weren’t best for my body all because I wanted to lose those last “X” pounds. Tried yoga and meditation and couldn’t stick with it and decided it didn’t “work” or that I couldn’t focus right. I listened to other people and companies tell me what to do with my body.
All the things.
If you are still reading, perhaps you too have done one or more of these things.
But healing is possible.
I continue to heal and work forward. This healing path is not linear.
IT’S NOT EASY.
BUT IT’S WORTH IT. EVERY BIT OF IT.
I’ve experienced my own healing through a mindset change around fitness, practicing mindfulness, planning strategies that help me balance my life, tools for my stress management, and ridding myself of the grip of diet culture through research, training, and a lot of self-reflection that I continue to do every day. And yes, it’s worth all the work.
And yes, it’s work. But I am here to help. I’ve been there and I want to help you to experience this shift towards feeling better in your mind and body too. Together we can make this happen.
“Create a life of freedom and confidence minus the guilt and mountain of “should’s”-
Doris Ward
Imagine a life of wellness without obsession.
Imagine feeling confident in your body.
