Katie’s fitness journey came to a crossroads when she quit soccer after high school. She knew she wanted to start lifting weights but didn’t know where to start. With all the misinformation on nutrition and strength training, it was hard to know what was true.

Inspired to learn more, Katie majored in exercise science at the University of Iowa, where she learned how to get started with weight training and how to help others do the same. After becoming an American Council on Exercise Certified Personal Trainer (ACE CPT) in 2020, Katie went on to become a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified Nutritionist.

Throughout college, Katie discovered a passion for helping others gain the correct information to achieve long-lasting results and understand the entire process of how to get there. Katie understands the feeling of frustration from feeling like you are out of sync with your body, and she would love to help you feel like yourself again through proper nutrition and training.
