LinkedIn
Hilary Phelps is a holistic performance coach, speaker, advocate, and founder of The Right Room—a platform devoted to guiding high-achieving women through life’s most pivotal transitions.

Once the fastest swimmer in the nation for her age, Hilary’s early promise was eclipsed by a 15-year battle with addiction that began at just 14. At 29, she made the courageous decision to enter recovery, not just to put down the substance, but to reclaim her identity, rebuild from within, and begin the work of lasting transformation.

After quietly celebrating 15 years of sobriety, Hilary chose to share her story publicly in 2022, recognizing that vulnerability, when shared with intention, becomes a form of leadership. Her voice now serves as a lifeline to others navigating what she calls the quiet collapse—that often invisible moment when outward success no longer aligns with inner truth.

Through her private mentorship, group programs, and podcast The Right Room with Hilary Phelps, she creates spaces where women can reconnect with their voice, redefine their power, and live from a place of alignment and wholeness.

Hilary lives in Arlington, Virginia with her son, Alexander, and partner, Greg, and brings her lived experience, somatic training, and deep empathy to everything she does—blending success with soul to support women who are ready to rise differently.
