Hi there!
I’m Kaitlyn – a Pilates Instructor, Registered Dietitian & Women’s Wellness Coach
I believe feeling good in your body shouldn’t require constantly pushing harder, following another restrictive plan, or trying to “fix” yourself.
My approach to wellness has changed a lot over the years – and honestly, it had to.
Today, I help women move, eat, recover, and care for their bodies in a way that supports the life they actually want to live.
My Story
For years, I was the person who was always doing more.
I was already a Registered Dietitian, but I was also training six days a week, sometimes twice a day, eating “clean,” meal prepping, and even preparing for a fitness competition.
From the outside, I was doing all the things I thought healthy people were supposed to do.
But underneath it all, there was a lot of pressure, perfectionism, and an idea that if I just worked harder, I could feel better.
Then my own health journey forced me to look at things differently.
In my late 20s, I had a surgery that ultimately impacted my fertility and completely changed the way I thought about my body and my health.
Later came work burnout, a car accident and whiplash, and a long stretch of digestive issues that left me feeling frustrated and disconnected from the body I had once trusted so easily.
I had always been someone who could push through.
But eventually, pushing through wasn’t working anymore.
I had to learn how to listen.
How to slow down.
How to rebuild.
And how to stop measuring my health by how much I could force myself to do.
That journey eventually led me to Pilates.
I became a Pilates instructor and discovered a completely different way of moving… one that challenged me without beating my body down.
I started paying attention to my core, my breath, my pelvic floor, my posture, my recovery, and how movement actually felt in my body.
Pilates became about much more than exercise for me.
It became part of learning how to feel strong and connected again.
And that philosophy now carries into everything I do at Pulse Wellness Studio.
Where Hormones Fit In
As I moved into my mid-30s, I also started experiencing the shifts that come with this stage of life.
It opened my eyes to just how unprepared so many women are for perimenopause and the changes that can come with it.
We’re often told that fatigue, poor sleep, changes in body composition, brain fog, stress, and feeling unlike ourselves are simply things we have to accept.
I don’t believe that.
I also don’t believe the answer is another extreme diet, another punishing workout program, or a list of supplements that promises to “balance your hormones.”
Women’s health is much more nuanced than that.
Our nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, hormones, digestion, relationships, and daily lives are all connected.
That’s why my approach has evolved beyond simply talking about food.
What I Believe
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all wellness.
I believe in understanding the whole person – not just their symptoms, their weight, or what they’re eating.
I believe you can care deeply about your health without obsessing over it.
I believe movement should help you feel stronger and more capable in your everyday life, not leave you feeling like you need to recover from your workout.
I believe nutrition should support your energy, hormones, digestion, and long-term health without taking over your life.
And I believe recovery isn’t something you earn after working hard enough.
It’s part of health.
What I Do
Through Pulse Wellness Studio, I bring together the pieces that have made the biggest difference in my own health journey:
- Evidence-based nutrition
- Women’s and hormone health education
- Pilates and intentional movement
- Core and pelvic floor connection
- Recovery and stress management
- Practical habits that work in real life
My goal isn’t to give you more things to worry about.
It’s to help you understand your body, feel confident taking care of it, and build a version of wellness that you can actually sustain.
Because being healthy doesn’t have to mean doing more.
Sometimes, it’s about learning to do what actually supports you.
And that’s what I’m here to help you do.
