Connection Beyond the Therapy Room
Healing and connection happen in many forms. Through movement, music, advocacy, and community involvement, Crystal creates welcoming spaces where people can come together, feel supported, and build meaningful connections.
Community Involvement & Advocacy
Creating Spaces for Awareness, Inclusion, and Support
Creating meaningful connections extends far beyond the therapy room. I believe in showing up for my community, supporting causes that matter, and creating opportunities for people to feel seen, included, and empowered.
As a sponsored disc golf player for Throw Pink and Cape Fear Games, I'm proud to support organizations that encourage wellness, community, and inclusion. Through fundraising tournaments and local events, I've helped raise more than $7,000 over the past four years for Throw Pink, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing women's health initiatives through disc golf and inspiring women and girls to lead active, healthy lives.
Whether I'm volunteering at community events, supporting breast cancer awareness, advocating for LGBTQ+ inclusion, or participating in local fundraisers, my goal is always the same, to help create a stronger, more connected community where everyone feels welcome.
My advocacy includes:
LGBTQ+ inclusion and support
Breast cancer awareness
Mental health awareness
Community outreach and local initiatives
Through these efforts, I strive to help create a community where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and empowered.

Wellness Through Movement
Zumba Classes & Fitness
Movement is one of my favorite ways to care for both physical and mental well-being. As a certified Zumba instructor since 2019, I love creating an environment where people can let go of stress, build confidence, and simply enjoy moving their bodies without judgment.
My classes are about more than fitness, they're about community. Whether it's your first class or your hundredth, you'll find a welcoming space where you can Be YOU, Be BOLD, and just move!

connection Through Music
Live Music Performances
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began singing at just four years old and have spent decades performing throughout southeastern North Carolina. From community theater productions and local competitions to opening for NFL legend Terry Bradshaw and performing the National Anthem for UNCW basketball and the Wilmington Sharks, every performance has been an opportunity to connect with people through music.
Today, I'm the lead vocalist for Vinyl Therapy, a high-energy band performing favorite hits from the '80s, '90s, and 2000s, as well as one half of the Crystal Fussell Duo, where we perform acoustic favorites, crowd sing-alongs, and original music in an intimate setting.
Whether I'm on stage with a full band or performing acoustically, my goal is always the same, to create memorable experiences where people can sing along, celebrate, and enjoy the moment together.
