As a native Californian who has settled in Oceanside, Kathy has been motivating, training, and sharing her energy for fitness, nutrition, and wellness for over 25 years. After studying journalism in college, her entrepreneurial spirit and love of fitness led her to start an aerobics studio out of her home.
She has worked at the world renowned Golden Door and Cal-a-Vie destination spas and currently works out of her own private palates and fitness studio, Healing Crown 2 Toe and Fitter is Funner Studios.
Kathy is passionate about giving back to her community. She worked with students at Oceanside High School, providing them with an after school exercise program that was more than just a fun way to work out, but a way to keep them off the streets and focused on success in life and school. Kathy donated her time to Embrace’s Ex 4 Vets event teaching fitness classes to raise funds for disabled veterans.
Kathy’s current project, inspired by the passing of her niece, involves breaking down stigma surrounding mental health through dialogue and is working to raise awareness and funds for North County Lifeline, which supports the mental health and wellness of teenagers across San Diego County.

When she isn’t in the studio or helping the community, she is dancing along the boardwalk, cooking up healthy recipes, or spending time with her family
