Hi, I'm Katie
I started in the gym 25 years ago, training clients one-on-one and falling in love with the puzzle of human movement. Over time, I noticed a gap: traditional strength and conditioning wasn't addressing the deeper patterns driving pain, compensation, and plateaus. So I went deeper, into respiratory mechanics, pressure management, and the science of how bodies actually adapt.
Today, I train people who want to move better and feel stronger. I also teach movement professionals around the world through Empowered Performance, my continuing education course that's helped over 1,000 coaches sharpen their assessment, programming, and coaching. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, coming back from injury, or just tired of programs that don't respect how your body works, there's something here for you.
My approach is inside-out: we start with breath, position, and pressure before we add load. We meet your body where it is, not where a program says it should be. That's what creates lasting change.

What people are saying
"I honestly believe EP has changed the trajectory of my work, and it's one of the most valuable courses I have ever done. It has connected so many dots for me — and I know it will keep doing so."
"The exercises in Alchemy have been so helpful to help bridge the gap between physical therapy/rehab and performance. I play a high impact sport at the professional level, and Alchemy has helped me improve my ability to absorb force, and reduce creakiness in my joints."
"I've been exploring the Fitness Membership programming (doing Athletic phase) and my 58 year old body feels better than it did 20 years ago. I credit that to you and learning to breathe, stack, and move!"
