Meet Your Coach

Helping you feel strong, supported, and unstoppable.

About Kari

I’m Kari, a certified fitness and macro nutrition coach, accountability expert, and founder of Empower Fitness & Wellness.

I’m also a woman in her late 40s, currently navigating perimenopause, running a business, and working with real women just like you. I know what it’s like when your metabolism shifts, your energy dips, and the old approaches just stop working.

That’s why my coaching isn’t about restriction, unrealistic plans, or bouncing back. It’s about moving forward with strength, strategy, and the support you’ve been missing.

Certifications & Memberships:

  • Certified Personal Trainer by the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA)
  • Certified MPH (Mindset, Psychology, Habits) Accountability Coach (My Body Tutor)
  • Certified Macros-Based Diet Coach (Precision Nutrition)
  • Certified Stronglifting: Level 1 (Bret Contreras, BC Academy)
  • Certified GGS-1 Coach (Girls Gone Strong)
  • Certified Oh Baby! Fitness Prenatal and Postpartum Trainer
  • Certified Specialist in Fitness for Older Adults (ISSA)
  • Certified Lagree Fitness Instructor
  • American Red Cross CPR/AED Certified

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe in sustainable fitness, flexible nutrition, and real-life accountability. I believe your coaching experience should be built around your goals, not someone else’s template.

You don’t need another reset. You need someone in your corner helping you stop overthinking, stay consistent, and actually feel proud of how far you’ve come.
