Kathryn Shapiro

Certified Stroller Strides Instructor

Hi! My name is Kathryn Shapiro and I am a proud member of the FIT4MOM Richmond team! I am mom to David and Arthur and married to my very helpful husband, Aaron. While originally from Silver Spring, Maryland, my husband and I met during our time at the University of Richmond and moved to Richmond after I finished my master's in counseling from The College of William and Mary. I was a school counselor in Hanover County, VA for six years prior to taking some time off and getting to focus on my family. I first found FIT4MOM when I was pregnant with Arthur in the Fit4Baby classes, in the pandemic, and was so grateful to have found a community of women I could share my experience with. I've been a loyal client ever since and attended as many classes as my work schedule allowed. I am SO excited to join the FIT4MOM Richmond team and learn more about supporting women through their postpartum recovery; it's something I've become very passionate about! When I'm not teaching or managing two small boys, I love to read, bake, and go out to enjoy the fabulous restaurant scene in RVA.
