I have been a personal trainer for 7 years, with a background in chiropractic injury rehabilitation. I specialize in injury recovery, pain management, weight loss, and exercise for mental health. I train out of Functional Fit Charlotte, as well as virtually, to make improving your health as accessible as possible. I know how intimidating the gym can be, so I do my best to make it an enjoyable experience & something to look forward to.
Health is more than a number on a scale, it incorporates how you feel mentally, the sleep you get, the food you eat, and of course, exercise. Whether you're looking for a trainer, a health coach, or both, I would be honored to help you make strides towards your goals.

My husband and I have been working with Kathleen for over a year. She has identified our strengths and weaknesses and developed an individualized session each day. Kathleen has taught us correct techniques to avoid injury, correct bad habits and help recover . We feel that working out with Kathleen is an investment in our future health and independence.

Kathleen is much more than a trainer or PT — as a former ballet dancer she understands impact and injury intimately — giving instructions based on what she observes not just what you might report. Complaints from shoulders to knees have been resolved (not just improved) with often surprising approaches (like working on strengthening my shins to keep my calves from working so hard, which is showing up as lower back pain) that show her anatomical expertise. Not to mention her lovely pleasant demeanor always brightening your day. Superior skill and professional style.

I have been recovering from a herniated disk in my lower back. Kathleen has been great in redeveloping my core. She knows the right mix of stretches and strengthening to get me back to normal. If I tell her I am sore in a certain area, she pivots the workout to focus on the places that hurt. The exercises are always changing to focus on various areas and also to keep things fresh. She is encouraging and kind which makes it nice to see her every week.

Kathleen’s approach is calm, flexible, imaginative. She knows how to adapt to individual needs very quickly, and her training is tailored to each person very specifically. She’s easy to be around and she knows how to bring out the best in her clients.
