Alex Avanto holds a B.S. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in sport psychology. She is also an ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified personal trainer and a certified yoga instructor. Her coaching differs from most as she specializes in mental training techniques such as overcoming stress and anxiety, focusing strategies, imagery, relaxation, and mindfulness. She has experience working with athletes (specifically rock climbers), older adults, and those who want to implement fitness into their everyday lives. Alex has also done extensive research on motivation, goal setting, and the mind-body connection which has led to her clients to meet and exceed their health and performance goals. After learning how to take control of their mentality, Alex’s clients are able to reach their optimal performance level.

Kaitlin, one of the co-owners of One to One, is a dedicated physical therapist with a deep-rooted commitment to holistic healing. A native of Tacoma, she attended Washington State University, where she earned a degree in Kinesiology. It was during her studies that Kaitlin discovered the profound ability of individuals to heal themselves when provided with the right support and tools.

Driven by this insight, Kaitlin pursued her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, graduating in 2017. In the years since then, she has become a specialist in pelvic health, focusing on how to support women through various stages of life, including before and after childbirth and those that have pelvic pain getting in the way of their fitness goals. This specialization has become a cornerstone of her practice, particularly as she navigates the unique needs of new mothers and helps them embrace the physical changes of motherhood while promoting overall health and wellness.

Now back in Tacoma, Kaitlin lives near Point Defiance with her husband, Alan, their daughter, Dylan, and their two spirited dogs. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys exploring the local dining scene, visiting breweries, and working on home improvement projects.

I have been on the One to One team since 2014, graduating from the University of Puget Sound in 2012. As a sports fan myself, I understand the importance of teamwork and all individuals working towards a common goal. Here at One to One, we do just that. I am proud to call this place my home base. When not here, I am attending the Seahawks and Kraken games with my son, Henry. I have lived in Washington all my life and look forward to raising my son here in the great northwest.

I graduated from Seattle Massage School in 1994. Besides taking a few years off after my son was born in 2005, I have been practicing since then. I am certified in pregnancy massage and trigger point therapy, but I especially enjoy deep tissue massage. Previously I have worked in spa settings but am now happy to call One to One my home. My son is now 16 and is my pride and joy. We like to spend out weekends outdoors hiking, biking, or at baseball games. We also share a passion for travel.

I grew up on the gulf coast of Florida and moved to the Midwest for PT school at Washington University in St. Louis where I met my beautiful wife, Chelsea, who is from Tacoma. We moved back to the PNW after graduating and I was lucky enough to be able to join the team here at One to One in 2020. I love working with all of the motivated patients that walk through these doors every day and the team here is the best I’ve ever worked with - by far. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me climbing at the local bouldering areas, doting over the two best cats west of the Mississippi, or exploring parks and trails with Chelsea.

I’m an avid rock climber and PNW native. After receiving my doctor of physical therapy degree at the University of Puget Sound, I was thrilled to join the One to One team. My wife and I seek joy in the simplicity of the outdoors – either amongst the granite boulders of the Cascade range, on a paddleboard, or on a steep trail. To be honest, we’re just as likely to be relaxing at home with our 2 boy cats, Paul and Zuko. Enjoying a locally brewed espresso or cold beer is another favorite pastime – just collecting as many PNW stereotypes as possible at this point.

Movement is medicine, and bodies are designed to move – well and often. I’m excited to help you work toward that end.
