About Karen
Hello, so glad you're here! With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in Weight Mgt, women's health and menopause, Diabetes and Gut issues. I help clients build a healthy relationship with food and have a passion for making nutrition fun and easy to understand for the lay person. When not working I love to work on my personal relationships, do yoga, and spend time with friends.
Approach to care
I believe the number one issue with our health and nutrition has been the strong focus on diet culture for so long. During our sessions together, I'll prioritize getting to know you as a whole person with an individualized approach for you. There's not a one plan fits all. I want to know your hopes, habits, and challenges so I can support you in a safe and judgement free environment.
Your first session with Karen
Our first session will be collaborative, judgment-free assessment and I'll gather your medical/diet/lifestyle history, discuss your goals, and start building a personalized, realistic plan, focusing on education and support, not deprivation, with follow-ups to track progress. Expect to share about your habits, health conditions, medications, and lifestyle, while receiving initial strategies and resources, and not a rigid meal plan.
