Meet Coach Katie

I'm an ex weight loss coach because diet culture frightfully parallels trauma.
I am a survivor. I am living with CPTSD. I am healing. I took an unprecedented (and severely under medically researched) approach to move my healing forward when I began to struggle with chronic dissociation and numbness, health conditions with no medical explanation for them, and other physiological symptoms of trauma. Rather than use strength training to hide from my pain and fear, I trained in a way that accounted for how trauma impacted my posture, proprioception, nervous system, and mindset. And this made me feel better on a daily basis. |
Instead of traditional talk therapy I refused to engage in during sessions, this approach helped me to restore balance to my nervous system, allowed me to reconnect with others, and let me to safely experience how strong and resilient I really am, which meant that I began to feel better, more confident and my self-esteem improved. This created a positive feedback loop and broke me out of my triggered cycle of self sabotage, shame, and victimhood.
As I pieced together a program suitable for myself, I found that practitioners who worked with the body (doctors, massage therapists, meditation teachers, and physical therapists) often did not fully understand how trauma impacted me, and women like me. I read quite a bit on my own and then began to seek out teachers, trainings, and certifications on physical fitness approaches to healing trauma. I kept applying what I was learning and in addition to feeling better, I was happier!
I began to heal, but I remained frustrated that there was not enough resources and support from a physical fitness standpoint available to women like me. Recently, I decided to solve this problem by focusing my health coaching services as dedicated to providing coaching and resources to this mission.
I train, coach, speak and write on living with, and healing from, trauma through physical fitness strategies. I am continually working to create programs and support that provide a deeper understanding of trauma and harnessing the power of your physical body to compliment a healing journey of health and happiness.

Weight loss efforts fail 98% of the time and is the highest indicator of future weight gain.
Shrinking our bodies is NOT the way to improve physical health and in reality there are hundreds of ways that have nothing to do with weighing less. I take the always dieting woman and transform her into an athlete! Because, Athletes work in 4 areas - Strength, Stamina, Flexibility, and Sport-Specific Technique. I believe wholeheartedly in working to improve in those areas instead of trying to manipulate your size. And each of those areas translate to strength, stamina, flexibility and skill work outside of just the gym! |

My aha moments are coming more frequently than I'd like to admit. Coach Katie has helped me to realize that taking time for me isn't selfish...and the workshop just triggered several lightbulbs that I am going to have to research. |
Katie is a TRUE gem when it comes to helping women focus on their goals. If any woman, nationwide, is interested in reaching more of their goals, reach out to her. She’s amazing. |
