Our Story
TotalFit Solutions was founded in 2006 around a simple belief: mental and physical health are deeply connected, and supporting one can strengthen the other.
Over the years, that belief has shaped a practice that brings together two distinct areas of expertise — psychotherapy for emotional health, relationships, and life’s challenges, and fitness and wellness coaching for strength, movement, and long-term physical health.
While these services are offered independently, they share the same philosophy: meet people where they are, understand what matters to them, and provide practical, personalized support that helps them move forward.
Today, TotalFit Solutions works with individuals, couples, and families who want to feel better, function better, and build healthier lives — in both mind and body.

Stacey Neil, MA, LMFT, CPT
Laurel Neil, CPT & Health Coach
Licensed Psychotherapist
Wellness & Fitness Coach
I am a licensed Psychotherapist, Personal Trainer and Wellness Coach currently serving individuals, teenagers, and couples in a thriving Telehealth based private practice.
I attended the University of California at Santa Cruz for my undergraduate degree and pursued my Master of Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University receiving academic honors and a 4.0 in both degrees. Pursuing my licensure through the board of behavioral science allowed my formal licensure in 2010. I have spent over 25 years in the field of wellness under a variety of different degrees, advanced trainings and specializations but they have all brought me to the bottom line of all the work that I do:
Every human being deserves to live a life that is fulfilling, free of suffering and full of purpose.
It is with this single-minded goal that I work from my whole heart to offer healing, direction and an armory of tools to enable fulfillment and wellness in what is often a very challenging world.
Personally, I am passionate about nature, high sierra backpacking, fitness and dancing in the park. My life’s greatest joy is my family and helping others. I am humbled and honored in my work with clients and I hold sacred the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client as my greatest calling.
Laurel brings decades of experience in fitness, health, and wellness to her work with individuals and families. Her approach is practical and personalized, helping clients build strength, improve mobility and balance, increase cardiovascular fitness, and maintain the physical capability to stay active throughout life.
A former U.S. Army Master Fitness Trainer, Laurel has worked in fitness and wellness across military, corporate, and private settings. She later served as Chief Operating Officer for a corporate fitness organization before co-founding TotalFit Solutions in 2006.
Laurel is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and ACE Certified Health Coach and has additional training and experience in emergency and wilderness medicine, including EMT and Wilderness First Responder credentials. She is also certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid.
Her training philosophy focuses on functional strength, consistency, and sustainable progress rather than quick fixes. She works with clients to create realistic programs that fit their abilities, goals, and lives — with the ultimate goal of helping them remain strong, capable, and confident doing the things that matter to them.
Outside of work, Laurel is happiest outdoors and on the water. A U.S. Coast Guard licensed boat captain, she enjoys fishing and cruising, as well as hiking, camping, backpacking, and traveling in her trailer. Born and raised in Mexico, Laurel is fluent in both English and Spanish and brings a lifelong appreciation for travel, the outdoors, and staying active to both her personal life and her work.
