Hello! 

I am Kathleen Allen, Nice to meet you!

I am a registered dental hygienist as well as a certified life coach.

I love running! (especially on trails in beautiful places) I am happiest when I am moving and fueling my body, challenging my mind and connecting with my spirit. Basically, I want it all.

My “active life coaching” began long before I had a certification to hang on the wall. I have been exercising with women my entire adult life. I first remember 5:00 am aerobics classes in Kaysville, UT.

My running+coaching began in 2003 when a neighbor asked if I would like to start running with her. We did. I have not stopped running since.

At one point I had a 100 mile club which included all of the women {And a few select gents} I had run at least 100 miles with. I feel so lucky to have been influenced by so many amazing runners!

In 2019 I was running with one of my 100 mile members and she mentioned how much better she felt after each of our runs. She recognized the more positive outlook she had on her life afterwards. It was then that the seed for Active Life Coaching was planted.

After some investigation, I discovered Jody Moore, Brooke Castillo and the Life Coach School. I remember where I was and the moment I envisioned creating a business where I could support women while they were “on the move”. It felt, magic.

Recognizing that a certification through The Life Coach School would provide me the tools I needed, the decision to go through the process was a no brainer. The combination of coaching and my love of all things fitness would allow me to help a LOT of women. So exciting!

Running is the mode of exercise I am most passionate about but there are many modes that I participate in and enjoy. I have been running for 20 years consistently, almost religiously to be honest. I have completed 4 marathons, (2) 200-mile team relays, 6 half marathons, and multiple shorter races. But when it comes to running, the most fulfilling part for me is that I have played a pivotal role in helping MANY women become runners who never thought they could. I would rather help you run your first marathon than get a PR. It is thrilling for me to see others thrive!

I’m in the pink with the “more cowbell” going on!

I believe that same energy of encouraging others’ progress is evident in my work in the dental and healthcare industry. By far, my favorite part of working as a dental hygienist were the relationships I built with patients, employers and colleagues.

My work as a dental hygienist has included clinical, education and marketing/sales. I am currently fortunate to join the Hu-Friedy group in providing their amazing instruments and products to dental and dental hygiene programs in a portion of the South Western United States.

FAMILY

My start/stop/start career path has been made possible by my life-long partner. Only with his consistent support and encouragement have I had the privilege to pursue my passions as life presents them at my feet. Speaking of passions, we have four boys: all grown men now. I have two daughters in law and two and a half grand babies. NOTHING brings me more joy than my family.

“I left EVERY session feeling inspired and motivated in a million ways—not because I was accountable to her, but because I am in the driver’s seat of my life. This was one of the biggest takeaways for me from my sessions with Kathleen: With careful planning and hard work, I can do anything I set my mind to.

“After just a couple of sessions with Kathleen, I found I was approaching my worries or problems differently. I am thinking about things in an entirely new way. And it is so liberating!” —ANN

“Kathleen is such a great coach- especially when it comes to active coaching! I love how she can help you see things from a different perspective. I almost forget I am exercising in addition to learning more about my thoughts and feelings.”  — SHAYLEE

“Having Kathleen as my life coach yielded even more beneficial results than I ever thought was possible! Kathleen is an amazing listener; she has a gift to really digest what you’re saying and then help you pick it apart piece by piece to get to the root of a goal or issue. She helped me get back to the basics/my grassroots, which enabled me to see my true motivation and goals clearer.” —TAWNY

“Kathleen helped me take a hard look at some of the beliefs that were holding me back. After working with her I feel I can more effectively tackle my life and work on the things I want to achieve. I also think that being active as part of our sessions was impactful, both mind and body in motion helped me to process my thoughts and feelings and work through ways in which I found myself getting stuck. The model has been a hugely helpful tool in improving my day-to-day life.” —ANGIE
