MEET COACH KARI

My mission is to help career focused women have more guilt-free FUN and create success in all areas of life.

“I have so much more capacity when I’m having fun and prioritizing myself.”

KARI ESMAIL

Founder + Life Coach

Hi! I’m Kari and I’m so grateful you’re here! I’ve been on fire for empowering women to pursue their dreams and maximize their potential since I was a little girl on the soccer field chanting “confidence is key, girls!”

I started my career journey at age 19 as a hairstylist because I LOVE connecting with all kinds of people and making others feel good about themselves. For the same reasons, I became a personal trainer a few years later. During the 2020 pandemic I retired as a stylist and took fitness coaching full time with my virtual company, “KAMfit Training.”

Over the next couple years I noticed that my clients’ transformations were always a result of the mindset work we did together, so I leaned into this strength and received my training at the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and became an ICF Certified Coach in 2022.
