Kathleen brings a vast wealth of knowledge to her clients. Her approachability, four decades of teaching experience, sense of humour and compassion, have made her a much sought-after teacher. Kat has distinguished herself as an international leader in movement and has been known as the “teacher’s – teacher” since 2002.

Kat works with all types of people with chronic issues, not necessarily caused by accident or injury. A multitude of other factors such as lifestyle, postural habits and chronic stress can negatively affect one’s overall health.

She offers one-of-a kind, therapeutically blended sessions, tailored to suit your unique needs. She specializes in alleviating pervasive conditions that alter or reduce your ability to move without pain. With infinite patience she will help you re-train your ability to move more efficiently.

Kat will help you to diminish guarding patterns, halt overly-recruited muscles and wake-up the ones that are under active. She can teach you how to profoundly discharge stress and the best ways to make your myofascia healthier.

Let Kathleen show you the way to understand and feel your body on a deeper level.

I came to Kathleen following years of neck and upper back tension. I’d tried yoga and several forms of massage therapy but it hadn’t helped. Kathleen, with her years of experience with rehab, was able to teach me to access specific muscle groups in an entirely new way. I now move and exercise differently, and the tension in those areas has almost fully resolved. I believe that training with Kathleen will allow me to remain injury free and stay strong and fit as I age.

Kathleen Keller created a program to address posture problems. In doing so she made sure that I understood the proper technique. She did this with both verbal and visual instructions. Knowing that people have different learning styles means that Kathleen’s treatment will have the most beneficial results for her clients. This is certainly true for me.

I am a physician and around 7-8 yrs ago I herniated a disc in my lower back skiing. I tried everything including physio, massage, personal trainers and prolotherapy, all with some degree of success. But I was still left with a lot of pain and tightness in my muscles and my experts felt it was myofascial pain. I saw Kathleen to do Therapeutic Ball and she taught me how to roll on various balls to release muscle tension and pain mainly in my lower back, buttocks and legs.

Recently I saw her again to do upper body and feet. She has an incredible knowledge base and is passionate about what she does. For those of us with busy lives she provides a way to treat ourselves at home, releasing the days tension and pain on our own time. Therapeutic ball has given me a sense of control over my own pain and hope in knowing that I can control it myself.

My posture is better at age 60+ than it was when I was 40. At a time when some of my contemporaries are starting to shrink, I feel like I am growing taller. Thanks, Kat!

As a Registered Massage Therapist, I value Kathleen’s ability to integrate her excellence in technical expertise, exceptional knowledge of anatomical structure and function and passion for Pilates and Release Techniques into high quality sessions. Kathleen simultaneously creates Pilates sessions which are challenging, enjoyable and inspiring in an environment of safety and acceptance. I appreciate how she has taught me as a student how to bring Pilates principles into my daily life to improve the overall function of my body. This has resulted in improved postural habits and movement patterns, improved strength and an increase of body awareness. I highly recommend TKM Pilates and Therapeutic Ball sessions to all of my clients, colleagues and friends.

Julie Ruttan

I’ve been a client of Kat’s for the better part of 3 years now and have participated in both private 1-1 pilates sessions as well as group mat classes thoughout that time. She’s helped me through a back injury via traditional pilates, active ball release and stretching. Her knowledge, support and kindness are one of a kind!

Kalyna Bilinski

I was recommended to start Pilates as a way to stabilize a low back condition, which I have been dealing with for years. Since our first session, I have been extremely thankful for the care, knowledge, understanding and professionalism displayed by Kathleen in her practice. She has taken the time to research my back condition and really understand how to incorporate the right movements to help me manage the instability, reduce/eliminate the pain and make me stronger and healthier.

She has also helped me regain range of motion and strength in my left shoulder after a major surgery to repair a torn labrum. I can’t recommend her enough to folks that are trying to restore their core strength and flexibility.
