Kate is an experienced Pilates instructor, personal trainer, sports coach, musical theater director and dance teacher. Kate was drawn to teaching Pilates in 2003 as a complement to studying dance and playing ultimate frisbee in Chicago, IL. After moving to Seattle in 2006, she completed the Metropolitan Authentic Training Pilates certification program with Dorothee Vandewalle and continued teaching Pilates around the region. She has also completed Power Pilates Mat, Balanced Body Reformer, Ring and Roller, Pilates Mat, and multiple personal training certifications.
In her Pilates teaching she embraces the confluence of control, alignment, breathing, flow, strength, and flexibility. Kate strives to communicate clearly, teach to the students in front of her, and level classes appropriately for all including modifications and advancements for students. Kate inspires her students and peers to perform beyond their expectations and to embrace an active lifestyle! As a mother of two, Kate is looking forward to working with moms to give them space and guidance on their fitness journey as their lives evolve.
After taking a break from teaching Pilates when her son was born in October of 2019 and giving birth to her daughter in February of 2025, Kate is thrilled to return to teaching Pilates and to be a member of the Aditi team. When not teaching and parenting, Kate enjoys dancing (tap, ballet, jazz, musical theatre, hip hop), playing ultimate frisbee, traveling, and gardening.
