Hi, I'm Kayla!
Growing up I loved to be active, but ending up injuring my hip at 18. I stopped running, playing sports, dancing, hiking... and the pain disabled me for nearly two years, on top of the chronic musculoskeletal pain I had been experiencing for two years already.
I eventually discovered strength training - and it was my light at the end of the tunnel. I loved how strong it made me feel, and it allowed me to feel at home in my body again. I've had some ups and downs with chronic pain, and I understand how frustrating it can feel when your body does not cooperate.
As much as I wish I was a pain-free, top athlete... I've had to adjust a lot of my own fitness and health plan to accommodate my neurodivergence , high histamine response (hellooo hives and unexplained allergies), and chronic myofascial pain. I now accept that these things have made be a stronger coach. A more empathetic, compassionate coach, who has learned how to use exercise and nutrition to feel better, optimize my brain function, and prioritize well-being over vanity metrics.
I joined a gym for the first time in 2013 and I haven't looked back since! I became a Certified Personal Trainer the very next year. I am currently attending Montana State University, on the route to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
