Hi, I’m KAYLA!
Where to start? I’m a Cleveland Ohio native, former professional volleyball player, mindset coach, personal trainer, stress-management coach and wellness entrepreneur. I’m also a lululemon global ambassador, founder of the global running community #100milesofSummer, and founder of Soho House Chicago Run Club.
I grew up playing professional volleyball in Finland before moving onto coaching at the University of Cincinnati. While a love of movement was always there, it wouldn’t be until 2016 that the true importance of physical and mental wellbeing would come to light.
In 2016, I lost my father. A few years later, my mother passed away. In the midst of grief, taking care of your mind and body feels an impossible feat. The truth is that focusing on my mental and physical wellbeing was what got me through the worst days.
Since then, I’ve championed the mindset of being 1% better every damn day. I aim to make self-care simple, to share my message with others, to empower people to take hold of their health.
I work on a one-to-one basis with private clients, while also running corporate wellness workshops, hosting stress management talks and leading group fitness retreats. I aim to bring accessible wellness tips to smaller communities by driving fitness initiatives within.
my mission
It is my mission to help you live a healthier, happier lifestyle by encouraging you to put daily, self-care habits into place while challenging existing thought patterns. I meet all clients with compassion, understanding and empathy.
