A Note From Karen:

“I’ve been where you are now. There was a time when chocolate was in control of me and made me feel helpless. Sugar is a true addiction, just like drugs or alcohol. It made me feel like I had lost control and I would beat myself up over it.

My energy would fluctuate and I couldn’t resist ANY chocolate that was around me; unless it was cheap chocolate. I had insomnia, muscle aches and I would get sick a lot.

Most of all, I wasn’t happy and I felt that I couldn’t help people the way I truly wanted to. I decided that as I was reaching middle age, I needed to be as healthy as I could be so that I could have more energy and prevent diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

I tweaked how I was eating and found out that it’s not all about willpower but about WHAT I was eating that made me addicted to food. I still eat chocolate but I’m in control now. That’s a great feeling!”

I’m a Certified Health Coach and Nutritionist with over 20 years experience working with the most challenging health issues facing our society. I can show you how to have more energy, lose weight, and balance your blood sugar so that you can feel your best.

I received my training to practice health counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in conjunction with Columbia University and I also have a degree in Dietetics. In addition to my professional experience with these issues, I have personal experience as well.

Working in hospitals, nursing homes and weight loss centers for over 20 years has shown me where I don’t want to end up. It’s never too late to change the road you’re on.

I’m a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the American Holistic Medical Association.

My passion in life is to help people to learn to eat better, step by step, with delicious food, for the best quality of life possible.
