Health is a state of being, not a physical appearance.

Meet The Founder

The founder of Kinestherapy, Brittainye Wise, is a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, certified Group Exercise Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Life Coach. She is passionate about health and wellness but ultimately provides a unique approach to understanding what healthy is. Brittainye is a plus-sized professional dancer and athlete! As such, she has often been discriminated against because of her size/weight being in the fitness industry, even as a child, she was bullied for her weight, despite her physical appearance Brittainye is actually very healthy, having no ailments or diseases in her body and has never been told to lose weight by a medical professional!

She has taken all of her knowledge, training, and experience in the therapy, dance, and fitness industries respectfully and created an innovative program designed for all body types. Brittainye understands the importance of overall health and well-being and has always promoted being healthy, not “skinny” or “fat”, but healthy. Health doesn’t have a physical size and low self-esteem comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. Brittainye’s goal is to change the stereotype that you have to look a certain way to be fit. In addition to being a plus-size athlete, Brittainye suffered from depression while being abused in her marriage as well as during a horrible divorce experience, at this point she understood the importance of mental health and how it affects the rest of the body. While going through such a dark experience, she would often hide depression behind a pretty smile!

It is this experience that encouraged her to include mental therapy into her workouts, some techniques include affirmations and breathing techniques during class. This is an innovative concept as there is nothing like it in the fitness, dance, or therapy industry but very needed as a pandemic has shown us the impact of mental illness on our lives, the continued need for overall health in every industry, and increased need for diversity and inclusion in all industries.
