Strong as a Mother Kate

Movement, mindset, and small handmade things — built for single mothers and anyone choosing to thrive on their own terms.

Kate Carter
About

Hi, I'm Kate.

I'm a certified pilates, barre, and yoga instructor, and a full-time Executive Assistant and single mother.

Being a single mom taught me that resilience isn't something you're born with, it's built one breath, one rep, and one choice at a time. I'm here to help other single mothers grow stronger, trust themselves, and realize they're capable of so much more than they think. Because doing it on your own doesn't mean doing it without joy, it means creating a life that's strong, fulfilling, and unapologetically yours.

You are stronger than you think, and you do not have to do it alone.

Not at all. Whether you have never stepped on a mat or you have practiced for years, every class is offered with modifications and progressions so you can meet your body where it is today.

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in and bring a water bottle. A mat is helpful but not required — I have extras. For barre, grippy socks are great but optional.
