Based in Traverse City • Working with studio owners everywhere
A profitable sustainable studio built with intention and designed for YOUR LIFE.
Studio Business Coach for Dance and Yoga Studios
HERE’S THE TRUTH ABOUT RUNNING A STUDIO.
A studio isn’t built on great classes alone.
It’s built by thoughtfully shaping the business behind the studio
From the systems you rely on to a business that fits into your everyday life.
Studio owners pour their whole heart into their work.
And it is easy to feel stretched thin when you are trying to manage everything on your own.
I coach yoga and dance studios to create strong systems, confident leadership, and a student experience that keeps people coming back.
Together, we bring clarity, stability, and spaciousness back into your business so your studio supports your life instead of consuming it.
Areas we focus on together:
Studio business strategy
Student retention + client experience
Systems and operations
Team leadership + communication
Scheduling + pricing models
Studio profitability + sustainable growth
You don’t have to sacrifice your life to run a successful studio.
You just need the right support, structure, and systems that make it sustainable.
This is how we do the work

Guidance From Experience
Studio Business Coach for yoga and dance studios, with 30+ years of real entrepreneurial experience.
I’m Cathy Fitzgerald and I’ve lived the studio journey.
I built and led a 900-student dance studio, grew a successful photography business in two states, helped open a yoga studio, and now support studio owners across the country through my signature approach to sustainable growth.
I understand the long days, full schedules, constant decision-making, and the heart you pour into your students and your community. I also know what changes when the business side of your studio finally works, when your systems support you, your team feels aligned, and your studio starts supporting your whole life, not the other way around.
