Christina Hathaway

Professional Background:

I hold a Master of Advanced Study in Marriage and Family Therapy from Arizona State University. Additionally, I have received specialized training in food and body obsession from The National Eating Disorder Association and other nationally recognized organizations. I completed the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certification for personal training and nutrition coaching. I am also a certified Women's Coaching Specialist through Girls Gone Strong (GGS) and hold a Hormone Specialist Certification from the Nutritional Coaching Institute (NCI).

Approach to Training:
One of my clients aptly described me as “constructively blunt with a side of sweet empowerment.” Drawing upon my experience as a licensed therapist, I have honed the ability to discern underlying struggles beyond the surface content. This skill allows me to help clients identify the true barriers to their health and wellness goals. I support them in reframing their mindset and establishing new patterns of thinking, feeling, and being.

With my certifications as a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, I integrate my profound understanding of human behavior with evidence-based training methods in nutrition and movement. This combination enables me to facilitate profound and lasting transformations in my clients' lives.

Fitness Journey:
My journey towards fitness and holistic well-being began at the age of three, when I took my first dance steps. As a competitive dancer and later a member of the Arizona State University Dance Team, I developed a deep appreciation for the importance of caring for both the body and the mind. Despite being active throughout my life, I faced personal challenges with body dysmorphia that impacted my relationship with my body, food, and overall well-being. Through self-discovery and a commitment to healing, I have cultivated a compassionate, self-loving, and self-respecting relationship with myself, which I now share with my clients.

My Goal:
At The Mindset of Matter, my team and I are dedicated to helping high-achieving women rebuild their relationship with food, their body, and their health—without the extremes. Our signature 3-Phased Coaching Program integrates mindset, movement, and nutrition, guiding clients to heal from within and create sustainable results that last.

Coaching Philosophy:
Coaching isn’t just about workouts and macros—it’s about helping you unlock your fullest potential

inside and out. I combine compassionate coaching with no-BS accountability to challenge your thinking, help you unlearn patterns that don’t serve you, and step into the strongest, most confident version of yourself.This is more than a fitness journey—it’s a transformation that reshapes the way you think, feel, and show up in your life.Let’s build that together.
