Jeannie Fitzgerald: Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Health and Wellness Coach
Jeannie Fitzgerald is the person behind YOU EMPOWERED, a wellness practice based in Crossville, Tennessee. With more than 31 years of massage therapy experience and a current certification as a health and wellness coach, Jeannie brings a practical, personal perspective to every program and session. Her goal is straightforward: help adults in Crossville and the surrounding area make real, lasting changes that fit their actual lives.
Her Story
A Wellness Journey That Started Close to Home
Jeannie's wellness journey did not begin in a classroom. It began with her own life. Like many adults, she reached a point where she knew something needed to change. She made a commitment to sustainable lifestyle changes, worked on her nutrition, movement, hydration, and daily habits, and over time lost substantial weight. Her health improved enough that her doctor removed medications she had been taking. That experience is hers alone, and she is careful not to suggest that every person's journey will look the same. What it did give her, though, was something no certification can fully replace: a genuine understanding of how hard change can be, and how rewarding it feels when small choices start to add up. That firsthand experience is woven into everything she does at YOU EMPOWERED.

YEARS EXPERIENCE
Her Credentials
31 Years of Experience, a New Certification, and a Unified Practice
Jeannie's licensed massage therapist biography spans more than three decades of hands-on work with clients. That depth of experience informs how she approaches wellness broadly: with patience, attention to the individual, and a focus on what actually helps people feel better over time. In 2026, she added a certification as a health and wellness coach, completing a formal program that gave structure to the practical knowledge she had already built through her own lifestyle changes and years of client care. Today, YOU EMPOWERED brings both of those paths together. Massage therapy remains a current in-person service, while the health and wellness programs, which combine personal office meetings with online sessions, reflect the long-term direction of the practice. Whether a visitor comes looking for massage or for a structured wellness program, they are working with the same person: an experienced, credentialed professional who has lived the process herself. The values guiding every interaction at YOU EMPOWERED are integrity, compassion, and individuality.
Common Questions
What People Ask About Jeannie and YOU EMPOWERED
How long has Jeannie Fitzgerald been practicing massage therapy?
Jeannie has been a licensed massage therapist for more than 31 years. That long professional history is a core part of her background and shapes how she approaches wellness work with every client. It also provides the foundation for her health and wellness coaching programs, which she developed alongside her own personal experience making sustainable lifestyle changes.What credentials does Jeannie hold as a health and wellness coach?
Jeannie earned her certification as a health and wellness coach in 2026, completing a formal program that complements her decades of massage therapy experience. She identifies professionally as a Certified Health and Wellness Coach. She is not a nutritionist, dietitian, or medical provider, and her programs are designed around practical lifestyle support rather than clinical treatment or medical advice.What motivated Jeannie to start offering health and wellness programs?
Jeannie's own health journey was the driving motivation. She made sustained lifestyle changes involving nutrition, movement, hydration, and daily habits, lost substantial weight, and improved her health enough that her doctor removed medications she had been taking. She is clear that this is her personal story and not a promise of the same results for others. That lived experience gives her programs a personal credibility that goes beyond credentials alone.Does Jeannie still offer massage therapy, or is she focused only on wellness coaching now?
Jeannie currently offers both services. Massage therapy is an active in-person service backed by more than 31 years of experience, and health and wellness programs are the longer-term focus of the practice. The two paths are distinct: massage sessions are in person, while the wellness programs combine a personal office meeting with a series of online and in-person sessions depending on the package chosen.What values guide the way YOU EMPOWERED works with clients?
The practice is built on integrity, compassion, and individuality. In practical terms, that means Jeannie works with each person as an individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. She focuses on small, achievable changes that fit real life rather than drastic diets or intense fitness programs, and she aims to make the process feel supportive and manageable rather than overwhelming or judgmental.Where is YOU EMPOWERED located, and what are the regular hours?
