Bringing Health and Wellness to Life

Kat received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from UW-Milwaukee and her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Business Administration from Mercer University where she played Division I soccer, captaining her senior year.  As a former US Soccer National Team player, Division I athlete, captain, and Atlantic Sun Champion, Kat understands the competitive edge and intrinsic drive that fuels every inner athlete.  Having many surgeries herself, she can also identify with how injury and surgery can shape the rehab experience at any level. 

After a successful soccer career, multiple knee injuries influenced Kat to explore a different fitness path. She began cycling and competing in triathlons, including two half IRONMAN events.  Fueled by a new passion, Kat integrated her expertise as a physical therapist into her love of cycling and became BikePT - Bronze level certified in 2018.  She evaluates the individual and identifies positioning and biomechanical issues contributing to pain or limiting performance on and off the bike. Then she makes adjustments and provides an appropriate treatment plan to help cyclists and triathletes perform at their best at any level, casual or competitive.  

As a mother of two (with one on the way), Kat understands what pregnancy, (pregnancy loss), delivery, recovery,  return to activity, and managing life as a mom is like.  It’s a transformational experience on the body, mind and spirit. She is committed to helping women at every turn of motherhood explore that journey with confidence and with partnership to be at their best for themselves and their family.  Tosa Physical Therapy and Wellness is a safe community space for women to redefine those versions of themselves and have a place to develop fitness, mental, and emotional identities shaped by the new versions of ourselves. 

In other professional experience, Kat and her wife, Kate, worked together at the Chicago Red Stars where they ran soccer camps and team training sessions for girls in the Chicagoland area alongside some of the best women's soccer players in the world. After moving to Milwaukee, they expanded that vision to girl’s specific training for building confidence, improving form and promoting injury prevention with body weight strengthening, speed, agility, & plyometric training.
