Coaching for actual human beings.
Get stronger.
Understand yourself.
Build something that lasts.
Highly individualized strength and health coaching built around the whole person doing the workānot a template you’re expected to squeeze yourself into.
āIām able to hold more grace and affection for my body because I recognize that this is the body that allows me to move through the world. Having confidence that my body can do really cool things has been so valuable.ā

THE CENTER OF THE WHOLE THING
I coach humans, not bodies.
Your goals matter. So do your history, nervous system, injuries, confidence, sensory preferences, schedule, stress, learning style, and the strategies you’ve already built to get through life.
My job isn’t to make you better at following instructions. It’s to help you build the strength, skills, understanding, and self-trust to participate more fully in your own coaching.
Because you aren’t just learning what to do.
You’re learning how to understand yourself.
You donāt have to become a different person to belong here.
āIāve never felt so heard. Kat made me feel comfortable right away, and I didnāt feel judged from the first day. She even made it funāand thatās what made me want to come back.ā
Kami
āIf you feel like you donāt belong in fitness because of the size or shape of your body, that isnāt true. There is a space for you.
For me, this has been that space.ā

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Different doors. Same philosophy.
PERSONAL TRAINING
Strength, movement, skill.
Individualized training with an emphasis on strength, body awareness, skill development, and understanding the why behind what we’re doing.
We can work on getting stronger, moving with less pain or compensation, building muscle, returning to things you miss doing, developing new physical skillsāor figuring out what your body actually needs before any of those goals make sense.

āI couldnāt hold a 10-pound dumbbell without it sliding out of my hand. Now I can support my entire body on the rings and turn upside down.
It amazes me that I can do that.ā

āIām no longer afraid to walk into a hotel gym and pick up the dumbbells. Give me a bench and some weights, and Iām good.
I know what to do.ā

HEALTH & WELLNESS COACHING
Behavior change that belongs to you.
Behavior change is more complicated than knowing what you āshouldā do.
Health coaching gives us room to work with the bigger system: habits, nutrition, stress, recovery, routines, self-regulation, motivation, competing priorities, and the wonderfully inconvenient reality of being a human with a life.
As a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, I use a collaborative, non-prescriptive coaching approach designed to help you build strategies that actually belong to you.

There is no gold star for doing it the hard way.
Curiosity over compliance.
You don’t need more shame.
You don’t need someone standing over you demanding compliance.
And you probably don’t need another perfectly optimized plan that works beautifullyāas long as you’re capable of behaving like an entirely different person.
You need something that worksĀ with the person who will actually be living it.
That might mean:
- modifying the environment instead of demanding more willpower
- building capacity before removing an old coping strategy
- changing an exercise instead of repeatedly forcing your body through the same compensation
- treating āI couldn’t make myself do itā as useful information rather than a character flaw
- recognizing improvements in control, confidence, range of motion, skill, or awareness even when the number on the bar hasn’t gone up
- choosing the solution you’ll consistently use over the theoretically perfect one you won’t
We’re allowed to be curious about what works.
Especially if you've been made to feel like you're the problem.
A lot of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable humans who have spent years wondering why things that seemed straightforward for everyone else felt so much harder for them.
Many are neurodivergent. Many have complicated relationships with exercise, food, health, or their bodies. Many have injuries, chronic conditions, movement histories, or previous coaching experiences that don’t fit neatly into a template.
You do not need to arrive already knowing exactly what kind of coaching you need.
We can figure that part out together.
INTERESTED IN COACHING?
Tell me a little about yourself.
My coaching roster is intentionally limited so I can stay deeply involved in the work I do with each client. Availability varies, and some appointment times may already be full.
If you’re interested, tell me a little about yourself, what you’re hoping to work on, and what made you consider reaching out.
The website is getting a long-overdue rebuild. The expanded site is on its way.
The coaching is already here.
