Working with Malisa has been so incredible, not only did she support every choice I made regarding my nutrition but she prioritized the mental health aspect of dieting and body image.

She exceeded all expectations and reservations I had about working with a coach. She is so professional and incredibly intelligent. Every decision she made was backed by knowledge and she never failed to make every question or change in my program a learning opportunity. Her attention to detail is invaluable and I am so lucky to have gotten the chance to work with her.

I am so grateful to Kat at Strength & Intent for helping me in my nutrition journey.

A year ago I sustained a serious hip injury that caused me to stop running - a hobby I really enjoy. I want to focus on recovering, getting stronger, and having better nutrition habits. I am so grateful to Kat at Strength & Intent for helping me in my nutrition journey. I am glad to say I competed in my first 5k in years with a PR achieved, too. I have never felt this prepared for a race before.

Investing in your health - both physical and mental - is one of the most valuable investments in my opinion

Adequate exercise and nutrition really is a powerhouse for these two things. Without a doubt, training with Kateri is the best investment I could’ve made for myself. Having her as a coach has really helped me stay accountable with goals I’ve always wanted to reach but was too scared to pursue.

In our time together, my relationship with food has tremendously improved, I am no longer under-eating and overexercising or avoiding certain foods, and have seen so much progress with my lifts.

From the time we started working together to now, I have been consistently amazed by the amount of support, knowledge and resources Malisa has provided me.

I have SO much more energy on a daily basis, and my digestion is also SO much more predictable. Before I started working with Malisa, I knew my body was strong BUT as I realized in my first meet, I did not fuel myself in a way that made me confident I would be able to perform well CONSISTENTLY. Now I am coming off of my second meet SO proud of what my adequately nourished body was able to accomplish and SO excited about working towards my new goals.

Kateri has been a dream coach to work with.

She has helped me fine-tune my nutrition and decrease my stress levels from trying to micromanage everything on my own.

Whenever I've had a question, she's answered immediately and her responses have always shown how empathetic & educated she is. I've never felt like a burden, which actually was the case with my previous coach from a different company. Even though I am no beginner to fitness and nutrition, she has managed to level up my nutrition and I feel really great. It has shown on my powerlifting performance as well – my mock meet with her nutrition recommendations went awesome! I can't wait what future brings under Kateri's wings

There is not a single other person I trust to help me through my journey… Malisa not only cares about your physical health but she cares about your mental health as well.

Throughout my time with Malisa I could NEVER explain my gratitude for her. I actually think to myself almost every day this it was one of the greatest decisions I have EVER made for myself.I truly look forward to weekly check in's every single week because even if I don't feel the best about them Malisa provides me with knowledge, backs me up about all my feelings, and lets me know everything will be okay.
