Hi! I’m a fitness forward ortho pelvic floor physical therapist, pregnancy & postpartum athleticism coach & mom of 4.

Working with women through pregnancy & postpartum is my jam but I also enjoy working with active individuals & women of all ages! After personally experiencing injuries that affected her ability to enjoy life, participate in activities and move without pain, Katie began to expand her knowledge and practice even more. Katie uses her experience to discuss lifestyle factors in addition to movement dysfunction, that can be contributing to pain. Determining the stressors that are contributing to inflammation, in addition to addressing physical dysfunction. As she continues to learn about functional medicine, holistic and organic health, and how the body moves as a whole, Katie has been able to apply this knowledge in her practice. Addressing the whole body in her treatments is what she believes is her calling. The ability to change one's lives through movement and health is her ministry, and so The Movement Ministry was born.

Women are taught to be small.
Our bodies thrive when we’re strong.

Strength training supports bone health, metabolism, joints, mental health, and long-term function—especially through pregnancy, postpartum, and aging.

Strength training isn’t optional - It’s healthcare

Lift for longevity. Lift for life.

Taking 210lbs for a ride at 8 months postpartum. 5 reps, had at least 1-2 reps in the tank but my grip was slipping. Bracing but not breath holding. No leaking, pressure or pain.

This season, I’m wishing for more than gifts 🎄
I’m wishing for education, support, and bodies that feel like home again.
You deserve that—this Christmas and always.

What would you add?

I had a patient thank me today for listening to her. For listening to her talk about how hard breastfeeding is even with getting her baby’s ties addressed, but how much she still wanted to try. For listening to her reveal how hard it has been to not be able to do what she wants to physically for exercise and how that she mourns who she used to be but she loves her baby so much.

I told her that she doesn’t have to thank me.

I’m a mom’s mom.
I get it — the chaos, the exhaustion, the guilt… and the love that makes it all worth it.
In my space, your feelings are valid, your challenges are real, and your babies are always welcome.
You don’t have to do motherhood alone. I’m here with you every step of the way. 💪💛

I see you. I support you.
And yes — bring the kids. 💁‍♀️👶

✨ Movement With Intention ✨

Anyone can write a workout.
But good programming?
That’s where intention lives.

Every rep, rest period, and progression should have a purpose — whether it’s building strength, healing from injury, improving confidence, or connecting you back to your body.

When we train with intention:
🔥 We reduce the guesswork
🔥 We respect where our body is today
🔥 We create a clear pathway toward where we want to go

You deserve exercise that doesn’t just make you tired…
but makes you better.

I’m constantly tweaking and trying to level up my programming for our Women’s Fitness class at - and when I get it right, man does that feel good. Legs were on FIRE today in the best way.

If you’re ready to move with purpose, your programming should reflect that. Let’s build strength that actually supports your life — from lifting kids to crushing your goals. 💪✨

Motherhood is the most beautiful and the most challenging thing I’ve ever done.

We’re out here juggling all the things — sleep deprivation, tiny humans with BIG feelings, and the mental load that never quits.

And then there’s learning to love a body that’s changed in ways I never expected.

I’m grateful. I’m proud.
…but I’m also still working on loving the person in the mirror.

Motherhood is hard — and we deserve grace through every version of ourselves. 🤍

Urinary leaking during workouts might be common… but it’s NOT normal 🚫
You deserve to lift, run, jump & laugh without worrying about leaks.

Some quick tips to decrease leaking while jumping:
💛 Don’t hold your breath - keep breathing throughout.
💛 Look at the ground instead of up in front of you.

Your pelvic floor deserves training too 💥
Let’s fix the root cause — not just pad it up.

Pelvic floor PT can help you get back to feeling strong and confident again 💪✨

I’ve had to step away from social media a bit to navigate the stress and chaos of life lately. Still here, still committed—just giving myself space to handle what’s on my plate.

When life gets chaotic, I pull away from posting on here. It just seems to take a lot of emotional and mental effort that I don’t have to come up with something that will be meaningful.

Baby hasn’t been sleeping well, so I’m extra tired. Add in the craziness of the holidays, all the kids stuff, realizing Christmas is less than 4 weeks away now, plus the usual work stuff and running a business and a house with 4 kids - it’s a lot.

I’ve been working really hard to not turn to staying up late and eating junk late night because I’m emotionally drained. The food part is going surprisingly better than I anticipated, but the staying up late is a hard one to break. Enjoying a quiet house that doesn’t look like a round of Jumanji just ripped through it is my guilty pleasure.

Grateful for family, health, growth, and the little moments that make the chaos worth it.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends — hope your day is full of good food, comfy clothes, and plenty of leftovers. 🦃🤎

Postpartum isn’t just “core and pelvic floor.” It’s a full-body rebuild.

Early to mid postpartum is the perfect time to slow down, tune in, and build a foundation that actually supports the way you move, lift, exercise, and parent.

Yes—your core and pelvic floor matter. Absolutely.
But so do those areas you’ve ignored for months (or years):
✨ That nagging hip or low back pain
✨ That shoulder or upper back tightness from feeding and holding baby
✨ That knee pain that always flares with squats or running
✨ That glute weakness you keep telling yourself you’ll work on “later”

This season isn’t about “getting your body back.”
It’s about giving your body what it needed all along: stability, strength, mobility, and intentional movement.

When you take the time to rebuild the foundations—your whole foundation—everything else feels easier. Lifting, running, carrying a car seat, your workouts, and your day-to-day life.

Early postpartum isn’t a setback.
It’s an opportunity to come back stronger, more connected, and more supported than before. 🤍

What nagging issue have you put on the back burner? For me it’s my thoracic mobility, especially extension.

Four pregnancies. Four recoveries. One body that’s still learning who she is now. Growth, loss, strength, softness—none of it linear, all of it real.

It’s so strange because what I see in the mirror doesn’t match the vision of myself in my head. Gaining 50 pounds with each pregnancy (regardless of how I ate), not losing all the weight until I stop breastfeeding (got pregnant with my 3rd while still nursing and pregnant with my 4th a couple weeks after I weaned my 3rd).

Add in the stress of opening my own clinic, managing the household & the kids- to now running a business while juggling 4 kids.

It’s hard. I don’t love how my body looks currently. But I’m in awe of everything it has done for me and my babies. I’m excited to watch it continue to change as I get farther postpartum.
