I have known Karen for many years, both as a friend and personal trainer. But it was during my daughter's recovery process from an eating disorder that I first reached out to her for her nutritional guidance. Karen has provided nutritional counseling, fitness coaching and emotional support for my daughter in the most comprehensive and nurturing environment. Her love and commitment to helping my daughter on her journey has made a significant difference in her recovery and how she lives her life.

Even though I knew it was good for me, I had never stuck with a weight training program in the past because I really didn’t enjoy it and felt intimidated by it. I was also so sick and tired of counting calories and not getting anywhere. I began working with Karen as a personal trainer and nutritional counselor three years ago. At that time, I felt tired, defeated, and frumpy. Over my time working with Karen, I feel more energized, more confident, more positive, stronger and healthier. She has made working out fun and productive, and has shown me that eating nutritiously can be delicious and life-changing. I feel like a different person now. I am so grateful to Karen for her kindness, enthusiasm, patience and knowledge.

My time with Karen over the past year has been transformative. She is patient, flexible, and real. When I began working with her, I felt as though my constant struggle with my mind/body relationship would see no end. I learned quickly, though, that there is a way in this life to enjoy food, live happily, and love and know your body through balance. The uphill climb is continuous, but with Karen's help I have been aided in learning how to nurture myself through healthy movement and to be compassionate with myself always.

After suffering a concussion, my daughter had to recoup academically, socially and emotionally. It was a stressful and down time in her already stressful adolescent life. I’ve known Karen a very long time and have always enjoyed her company and very upbeat personality! But, it was when someone describe her as a, “healer,” I knew she was just the person we needed! What an unbelievable gift our time with Karen was! My daughter learned so much about nutrition, emotional health and most importantly herself! After a very short time with Karen I notice a marked difference in my daughter’s overall happiness, confidence, physical and emotional well being. I am not even so sure if Karen knows what a blessing she was for us at that time! She encouraged, coached and embraced us as if we were one of her own! I can’t say enough, and am forever grateful for the life lessons and love that Karen continues to bestow on our family.
