Meet Hilary Phelps.
Hilary's journey began in the heart of Baltimore, MD, where she grew up as the eldest sibling in the Phelps family. Her life's work is deeply rooted in collaboration with individuals and organizations dedicated to creating a positive impact, especially in areas of health, wellness, and addiction recovery.
In 2022, Hilary bravely opened up about her own path to healing and sobriety, a story she shared with the world for the very first time. This act of vulnerability has since fueled her passion to support and inspire others, drawing from her personal experiences in overcoming addiction.
Today, Hilary stands proudly as a woman who has found strength and peace in long-term sobriety. She is not only an advocate for addiction recovery but also a motivational speaker, a holistic wellness coach, and a certified expert in yoga and Pilates. Hilary finds joy and solace in her love for coffee, symbolizing the simple pleasures that enrich her journey of continuous growth and healing.
What Women are Saying About the Work
Our work focused on perfectionism, shame and childhood trauma.
Hilary's expertise with somatic work has helped me return to my body, get out of my head and start traveling back to my heart.
I am listening to my emotions. I am flexing the "say no muscle” to things and people that don't bring me joy. I am aware of my true core values and am making values-based decisions for the first time in my life.
My life is slowly starting to feel more like mine.
—Aileen M.
“For the first time, in 23-years, I feel empowered AND able to take my power back because of the work I’ve done with you!!! The techniques that you apply, together with your genuine care, have allowed me to shatter barriers. Forever grateful for the privilege of working with you.”
– Kristin S.
“I almost canceled our session today because I didn’t think I had anything to say. I was wrong. Thank you for the valuable space to talk things through to the ‘aha’ moment. Today, you got me to give myself credit for being smart enough & introspective enough to do the work and know better.”
—Jen F.
“Just finished your article— so amazing! Love your story, journey and path. I must say that you calling is REAL as I never opened up about my drinking, as I did with you yesterday. Always an internal thought for me, but somehow talking to you brought it out so easily. You have a gift and the fact that you’ve created a platform to allow people to open up ad share is truly amazing!”

Hilary is an amazing coach! She strikes the right balance between providing support and accountability in a judgment-free, safe space. My experience with Hilary allowed me to grow in ways I never expected, from developing greater confidence to revealing inner strength to shedding stubborn fears. Our work together empowered me to step outside my comfort zone and realize what I'm truly capable of. Hilary is an absolute pleasure to work with - always engaged and eager to help, she exudes a rare goodness that allows you to soften into a place of comfortable vulnerability. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her.
