Today, P&PA Coach Katie joins me and shares her inspiring story of going from a hairstylist of 18 years to a full-time P&PA Coach in her very own space. It’s a story that we so commonly hear - we don’t know we need this information until we do. This was the case for Katie when she realized she developed prolapse after her first baby, leading her down the rabbit hole of pelvic health and desperately seeking answers. Eventually, she finds the P&PA Cert and her path completely changes. She realized her passion for not only helping pregnant + postpartum athletes but also older women and created a class for 60+. She realized the principles of P&PA apply across the board for ALL athletes. Katie also attended the P&PA Live Coaches Seminar in Boise in 2022 which gave her confidence she needed to focus on coaching more. She started with an 800 sq ft garage for a year and then ultimately ended up leaving hairstyling completely and pursuing her business full-time, now in her own independent space. So inspirational!
