We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Aissa McGuirl a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Aissa, we are so happy that our community is going to have a chance to learn more about you, your story and hopefully even take in some of the lessons you’ve learned along the way. Let’s start with self-care – what do you do for self-care and has it had any impact on your effectiveness?
I teach and practice holistic fitness, nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset.
My specialty is movement to help regulate the nervous system/ build resilience.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
My name is Dr. Aissa McGuirl. I am a holistic physical therapist, fitness coach, speaker, and author.
I motivate, teach, and help people take control of their bodies so they can feel, function, and look their best!
My book Connect the Body Dots is scheduled for release in early 2026 which is what I am most excited about.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
1. Reframing how I think. Focusing more on all of the things that are within my control rather than what may be negative at the time.
2. Asking questions. Through asking questions, we can learn more and more about a given topic. When we learn more, we continue to build on what we already know and develop better solutions to our problems!
3. Develop consistency in something. If we can develop consistent habits and build on these habits we can do anything.

All the wisdom you’ve shared today is sincerely appreciated. Before we go, can you tell us about the main challenge you are currently facing?
Balancing it all: Being a mom, working, running a business, writing a book, learning to speak, cleaning my house, working out, and selfcare.
I have to sit down with myself and coach myself up. I plan out my days, I check to make sure I am on track, I intervene when I’m off track or something is not working, and I give myself grace.
