Kathleen Alnwick is the founder of Soul Rising, a coaching and wellness practice dedicated to helping women navigate midlife with strength, vitality, and deep self-trust. Specializing in women’s midlife wellness, she guides women through the physical, emotional, and hormonal transitions of perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause with a holistic approach that integrates evidence-based education, functional wellness, and the wisdom of the body.

Midlife is not a season of decline. It is an invitation to rediscover, reclaim, and rise. Kathleen works with women who are ready to release what they no longer wish to carry, restore their health, build resilience, and return to the truth of who they are.

Her trauma-informed, strength-centered approach creates a supportive and intentional space where women can navigate change with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. She does not simply guide this work. She embodies it.

Kathleen understands that midlife is a powerful opportunity for reinvention, a time when women can reconnect with themselves, reclaim their vitality, and create a life that reflects who they truly are. Her work is rooted in the belief that transformation begins from within, and that lasting change comes through honoring the body, building self-trust, and embracing the wisdom gained through every season of life.

With more than 25 years of experience in holistic health and human potential, Kathleen brings together advanced training in life coaching, strength and fitness, nutritional wellness, nervous system regulation, and women’s health. As a Certified Menopause Coach through the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), she combines her knowledge of the body, compassionate coaching, and a holistic understanding of health to support women through the transformative journey of midlife and beyond.

Kathleen’s own journey reflects the resilience, evolution, and self-discovery she helps others awaken within themselves. Beyond her professional achievements and training, Kathleen’s life experience as a mother of two sons and as someone who has personally navigated the transition through perimenopause, menopause, and into postmenopause gives her a deep understanding of the complexities of midlife transformation. She knows firsthand that this season is not about losing who we once were, but about rediscovering, reclaiming, and rising into a more authentic expression of self.

A former NCAA Division I scholarship athlete in basketball and tennis, Kathleen’s foundation was shaped by discipline, perseverance, and a deep respect for the body’s ability to adapt, strengthen, and evolve. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Education with a specialization in Special Education, building a foundation of compassion, communication, and a deeper understanding of human development. Her path later expanded onto the competitive stage as an award-winning bodybuilder, physique, and figure athlete, where she refined her understanding of strength, resilience, and the powerful relationship between body, mind, and spirit.

These experiences, combined with more than 25 years devoted to holistic health and human potential, have shaped Kathleen’s belief that true strength is built from the inside out. It is not found in resisting change, but in learning to honor each season of life, trust the wisdom of the body, and embrace the opportunity for renewal, vitality, and transformation.
