At that contest Kayla competed in the IPL Inspiration & Transformation, Fitness Angels, and Evening Gown divisions, showcasing her extraordinary 130-pound weight loss transformation. Her journey highlights her navigation through personal challenges, including her son’s autism diagnosis. Now a certified fitness coach, Kayla inspires others to embrace their own journeys, reminding us that true strength comes from within and that transformation is a gradual process built on consistency and self-love.

“The moment I saw my face on the cover of INSPIRE Magazine, I was overwhelmed with emotion, and tears instantly filled my eyes. It felt like a powerful reminder that I am truly on the path meant for me. This achievement means so much because it reflects the progress, I’ve made by listening to my body, understanding my emotional needs, and finding balance through mindful nutrition and activity. I am especially grateful to the International Physique League for being an all-natural competition. We are all so uniquely different, and connecting with what is natural for me has been such a vital part of my growth, making this accomplishment even more meaningful. Standing on stage at the first-ever IPL Golden Heart IPL Classic in Fairbanks, Alaska, was an honor. I wasn’t there to compete, but to test my courage by sharing my journey. Walking away, I felt deeply inspired by what this experience has shown me, and I am even more excited for what’s to come.”
