My name is Kayleigh and I’ve been teaching at Spenga since July 2025. I moved back to Des Moines after graduating from the University of Iowa with a degree in both psychology and therapeutic recreation. I started teaching group fitness at the University of Iowa, and I have such a passion for connecting with people and improving lives through movement.

Outside of SPENGA, I work at Clive Behavioral Health in their creative therapies department. I lead recreational therapy groups there and I am on the path to become a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. In my free time I love running, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
