Cheryl McClea: Dr. C
Health Coach. Personal Trainer. Reiki Master, Animal Communications, Psychic Medium, ThetaHealing Practitioner. Owner, Aspire Wellness.
If you’re into qualifications, I’ve got them out the wazoo, and I’m happy to share them with you below. While I’m proud of my professional achievements, I prefer to focus on my own personal experience when it comes to health and wellness. I am on a wellness journey, one that I’ve been on for as far back as I can remember as a kid, and one that I expect to continue for the rest of my life. It doesn’t come easy to all of us. Yes, I’m a Health Coach. Yes, I’m a Personal Trainer, but I can tell you right now that being healthy and losing weight is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. It’s not easy for all of us. But it’s also not impossible. Nothing is impossible.
I’ve worked in the fitness industry for several years, helping all types of individuals reach their goals – women, men, mature adults, teens, athletes, those looking to slim down, and others looking to bulk up. But, I specialize in helping people with chronic illness and weight loss. Why? Because I’m in the same boat. I understand what living with illness feels like. But, if you’re like me, you don’t accept the idea that you will never feel good again.
My job is to help you get better, feel better, and be better - for yourself and for your family. I strongly believe that with the right support, guidance, and tools, I can help you improve the quality of your life. I believe in balance, functional fitness, and pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone while respecting the limitations that illness may bring. I believe in the connection of the mind and body in creating the best version of you – because you deserve nothing less.
This health journey has opened many (many) doors for me, many of which caught me by surprise. In my quest to feel better, I began to learn about all these different modalities - all types of ways to heal; emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I began a journey within to better understand balance. I practiced meditation, and opened my mind up to experiences that I couldn't necessarily touch or feel. I have since learned that I can communicate (talk) to animals, I can assist in finding lost pets, I can also talk to spirit (animal and human), and channel psychic messages. It's completely changed my world.
As for my professional qualifications, I have a Doctorate in Education, Masters in Exercise Science, and am certified through both NASM and AAAI with specializations in older adult fitness, holistic health, sports nutrition, and TRX training. My Health Coaching Certification is through ACE, and I have a Behavior Change and Weight Loss Specializations through NASM. I also am certified in Angelic and Usui Reiki, and ThetaHealing.
But, the education was the easy part – making life changing decisions, losing 120 lbs, and training for marathons is when the real work began. I’m not your “average” trainer (or average person at all). I’m here to help you be outstanding. This is about you and your goals. Whether through health coaching, training Reiki, or psychic work, I’m here to customize this experience to get you to your goals.

Certified Personal Trainer. Health Coach. Owner, Aspire Wellness.
Everyone has their own definition of what wellness looks like. Including myself. Beyond the benefit of looking the way you want to look, for me, wellness is about feeling good and doing the things I want to do. We all need to take different paths on the road to wellness, because our bodies are not all the same. And I’m no different. Learning, and passing on my knowledge of wellness and fitness, has become my passion. So many of us don’t know or understand how to start down that path to being healthy. And sometimes we need the guidance and encouragement of someone who has been there.
I know I can help you on your road to wellness, whether you are at the beginning of that road or have been down it but need some continued support. I offer health coaching services, as well as personal training and group fitness classes. I have a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, with a minor in Human Resource Management, and a Master’s degree in Psychological Counseling. I’m a certified personal trainer through AAAI and hold a Behavior Change Specialist Certification and a Weight Loss Specialist Certification through NASM as well as a Sports Nutrition Consultant Certification and a Stress Reduction, Relaxation, and Meditation Instructor Certification through AAAI. I am also a level 1 Certified Reiki Practitioner.
I mentioned that part of wellness for me is being able to do what I want to do. I enjoy utilizing my training knowledge to achieve my own fitness goals, and I’ve completed a full marathon, 2 half marathons, the Spartan Obstacle Course Sprint, as well as numerous 5ks. I’ve has also hiked 125.3 miles of the Appalachian Trail to date. Being well is important. I’m excited to join you on your road to wellness. Here’s to an outstanding you!
