Born and raised in Austin, Kaela returned to her hometown in 2024 after a decade away. Back home again, she’s enjoying life with her husband and high-school sweetheart, George; their curious, smiley 1-year-old son, Luca; and two beloved sheepadoodles, Dakota and Josie. A proud Duke University alumna (GTHC), she is also the former co-founder of The Diversity Movement, where she helped organizations build more inclusive workplace cultures.

After a 20-year dance career, Kaela was searching for a low-impact yet highly effective workout and quickly fell in love with Lagree, reformer Pilates, and yoga. When she discovered Pure, she was instantly drawn to the community, the energy, and the challenge. Kaela is thrilled to join the Pure team and looks forward to sharing her passion for mindful movement, strength, and connection with every client who walks through the door.
