Hi, I’m Karen and welcome to the EAT BETTER LIVE BETTER corner of wellness, where the journey to vibrant health begins….
As a certified nutrition coach and personal trainer with years of experience in the health and fitness industry, I've made it my life's mission to guide others toward their own path of vitality. My journey didn't start in a gym or amidst health-conscious surroundings. In fact, I was raised in a family where academic pursuits were a priority, leaving little room for sports. Like many, I struggled with self image and eating disorders during my younger years.
​
A turning point came when I received a fitness membership at a sport and recreation facility while in university which ignited my passion for exercise and its transformative effects on both body and mind. With a master’s degree in psychology and certifications in nutrition and personal training, I believe true vitality begins with nourishing the body from within.
The Journey
Now in my 50’s with 2 amazing daughters, I know what it’s like to go through some of the changes a woman’s body goes through as we age. Having navigated through the fluctuations in weight as well as the changes in metabolism, mood, focus and overall energy, I have made helping women - primarily 45 and over - my focus. I want to help you tackle these changes with ease as you come upon them or are currently trying to get through them yourself.
My approach to health is holistic – addressing the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that proper nutrition is much more about building good practices in in all areas of your life
rather than just the food we put in our body.
​
Empowered by my own transformation, my mission is simple: to inspire and guide others towards sustainable wellness practices. Through proper nutrition and holistic approaches, I aim to help individuals embrace a life filled with vitality and joy, one nourishing choice at a time.
