Meet Your Coaches
Hi, I’m Dr. Michelle Quirk - Pediatrician, Run Coach, and Founder of Mindful Marathon.
In 2012, I was a newly minted pediatrician — burned out, overwhelmed, and juggling new roles as a doctor, wife, and daughter. My dad had just been diagnosed with lung cancer, and life felt impossibly heavy.
I laced up my shoes and started running five minutes around the block, three times a week. It wasn’t pretty, but it gave me something priceless: a quiet mind in the middle of the chaos.
Running became my reset button - my way back to myself.
Now, I help other women physicians find that same sense of balance and joy through mindful, personalized running plans that work with your life, not against it.
Hi, I’m Dr. Katy Vieira - Physical therapist and Founder of Re•Move Rehab & Performance.
Movement is an underrated gift. Having struggled with chronic pain, injury, and the subsequent emotional distress, I know how challenging it is to be in pain and lack confidence in our bodies when all we want to do is move and be active.
No one is safe from injury, pain, and movement limitations. My goal is to break down your barriers and empower you to improve your movement capacity, whether for daily living or to PR your next race.
I have a passion working with runners and active individuals with chronic pain, particularly with spine and lower extremity issues. As an avid runner dealing with chronic issues, I see you and want to guide you toward your goals.
This workshop is for you if you:
✔ Are navigating a busy life and still want running to feel good
✔ Want to stay strong, reduce injury risk, and train smart
✔ Are curious about strength training, bone health, mindfulness, or smarter off-season training
✔ Value community, education, and thoughtful support
You’ll leave with:
✨ Confidence in how to train through the off-season
✨ Tools to support your body and mind
✨ Clarity on your next training steps
✨ Connection with other women runners
Everyone leaves with new knowledge, inspiration, and clearer direction. You’ll also have the chance to win:
✔ A free pair of running sneakers (raffled by Road Runner Sports)
✔ Gift cards to Road Runner Sports
✔ A free 30 minute dry needling session with Dr. Katy from Re•Move Rehab
✔ A free 30 minute Strategy Session with Dr. Michelle from Mindful Marathon
