Hi, I’m DR. kaitlynn DUNBAR.
Founder of Empowered Performance & Recovery.
It is my personal mission to remind people that they matter. It can become all too easy to lose sight of our worth when things get hard. Through movement, injury rehabilitation, and holistic lifestyle changes, I help individuals break through barriers & rewrite the narrative of their lives to move forwards with clarity, confidence, and clear results.
You have so much to give in this life, let’s be sure that you get to give it in a way that best serves you and your purpose.
A little bit about me: I graduated from South College with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. I have since competed in CrossFit, utilizing my 12-year background in competitive gymnastics; and have been in constant of pursuit of optimizing my performance, sleep, diet, emotional wellbeing, and mindset to fulfill my purpose and show up better for those that are important to me, including my clients.
My Approach
Health is more than one framework, it is the synergy of body, mind, and presence. By focusing on each of these elements, we help you not only to recover but also to realize how capable you truly are. When you are functioning at your best you can accomplish more than you ever thought possible.
Tomorrow is never guaranteed- honor it by choosing to prioritize your health & not settling for mediocrity. Show up as the most fulfilled version of you and watch the possibilities become endless.
EMPOWERMENT through education
At Empowered, we value education and guidance that allows our clients to understand the “why” behind their rehabilitation journey. Our goal is that our clients feel confident, intentional, and informed in making decisions for their personal health, recovery, and performance.
train & heal with purpose
Training and rehabilitation should be driven by a deeper intention-one that goes beyond short-term fixes. By blending evidence-based practices and a holistic focus on the root cause, we help you uncover your full potential. It’s not just about regaining function, it’s about transforming the way you move, train, eat, and show up in your day to day so you can step into a stronger, healthier future with confidence.
My why
I watched as life as I once knew it lay shattered in pieces all around me, with no one but me to try to pick up all the pieces. I had become a shell of the person I once was, turning to worldly things as a way to numb the grief of losing a very close friend of mine at the age of 20. Such a beautiful life was lost, yet I was throwing mine away. It soon became clear to me what is most important in my life, and that is people & presence.
Since that realization, I have made it my life mission to remind others that they matter. I want the people around me to feel seen, heard, & valued so that they know they are not alone in their struggles, big or small. I channel that purpose into helping my clients find their way when they are feeling stuck, lost, or like they don’t have the proper tools to move forwards alone. From your injury rehabilitation, chasing your goals, and seeking the optimal wellness for yourself-my goal is to help you to be the best version of yourself. I believe that the foundation of this begins with your overall wellness and getting plugged into a community of like-minded people that can help you accomplish that.
My mission is to help you rewrite your story, returning you to the activities that bring you joy and purpose, with greater confidence strength, and understanding.
