Helping you feel strong, supported, and unstoppable.

About Kari
I’m Kari, a certified fitness and macro nutrition coach and founder of Empower Fitness & Wellness in Santee, CA. I specialize in strength training and macro-based nutrition coaching for women in midlife, women navigating perimenopause, body changes, and the frustration of approaches that used to work but don’t anymore.
I’m also a woman in her late 40s, currently navigating perimenopause, running a business, and working with real women just like you. I know what it’s like when your metabolism shifts, your energy dips, and the old approaches just stop working.
That’s why my coaching isn’t about restriction, unrealistic plans, or bouncing back. It’s about moving forward with strength, strategy, and the support you’ve been missing.

My Coaching Philosophy
I believe in sustainable fitness, flexible nutrition, and real-life accountability. I believe your coaching experience should be built around your goals, not someone else’s template.
You don’t need another reset. You need someone in your corner helping you stop overthinking, stay consistent, and actually feel proud of how far you’ve come.
