Meet Your Coach

Passion…Purpose…Joy!

A perfect summation of what being a Health Coach has brought to my life.

As a Health Coach, I have the opportunity to assist those that desire real change and to live the life that they envision. Not by delivering instructions, but by offering guidance. Not by supplying answers, but by asking the right questions. My approach to coaching is formulated from a strength-based and whole person perspective. We all have the innate capability to live well. I strongly believe that my coaching methodology can provide you with the tools needed to allow that capacity to flourish.

Walking the Walk

Health, wellness, fitness, and longevity, feed my energy. I value eating well, spending time with loved ones, and balancing rest and movement. Equally important, I’m mindful to spread kindness, give back, and be present.

Priority one in my life is keeping active. Hiking, cycling, paddle boarding, and pickleball get my move on. Nature is nourishment. I savor any opportunity to get outdoors to soak up the sun and breathe in the fresh air.

Been there, done that.

Having spent three decades in higher education leadership, I can relate to the pressures of working in a high stress environment, feelings of burnout, and the desire to make a difference. All this, while attempting to balance work-life demands. My own experiences allow me to coach from a place of understanding, curiosity, compassion, and humor. Thus, enabling me to assist clients in navigating their own transitions.

Best Wishes

My hope for you is for you to live your best life. Requesting the help of a Health Coach may be the first step in achieving just that. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to transformation, as you maximize your wellbeing and live your best life.

Client Love

  • I truly enjoyed working with Karen. She came into my life when I was very stressed, parenting, working and going to school. I was finding it difficult to keep up with everything, and had begun to let my own self-care go to the wayside.  Karen helped me learn to schedule in down time, which actually led to be being more productive and definitely less stressed! I highly recommend Karen to anyone who has health and wellness goals of any kind. She was patient, empathetic, and helped me overcome my obstacles.

  • Karen is absolutely FANTASTIC, I really can’t say enough great things about her. She helped me create specific and reachable goals and kept me accountable until I reached and even surpassed them. The mindfulness strategies she taught me has been the most valuable for me. I look and think about food completely different now, my weight continues to go down and I no longer binge eat. Thanks to Karen, we figured out a way to add meditation to my day which has lowered my stress and anxiety levels.  I lost my mother recently and Karen was beyond supportive and was an amazing listener when I needed to just talk it all through. If you have never tried health coaching before, you have found the perfect coach to start with and I highly encourage you to give it a go. You will not be disappointed! Karen truly is the best!

    E.S.

  • I really enjoy how she collaborates with me as a coach. She can give an objective view of what I’m going through and it helps me feel more focused on what’s immediately important to me. She provides me with resources that meet my needs and enrich my life experiences.  In her own way, I feel as if she gives me permission to choose how deep I want to explore certain areas of my life, and that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. She always leaves the ball in my court and without directly saying it, gently reinforces that I am the master of my own life. She offers suggestions, gives hints and ideas that open new possibilities for me. She is always genuinely excited to hear about my progress, and always validates my intentions. She offers me encouragement when I am excited about something and offers reflecting questions when I’m feeling unsure. She has the ability to tie in ideas I’ve had in the past into our current sessions and knows how to connect the dots. She gives me kind reminders and outward perspectives that help me see things more clearly. She’s able to steer our conversation in a productive way and even when I think I don’t know how I will progress, I still always seem to.  I appreciate her giving me choices on what I want to discuss, and I like that we did a recap of our sessions together. She knows how to ask thought-provoking questions that lead to deep reflections and that is something you just don’t get when you stay inside your own head.

  • I found Karen to be an inspiring health coach. She was so open and understanding. It was a joy to work with her. During our time together, she helped me find ways to get more exercise into my day - all busy working people can relate! We explored micro workouts, and I still use those ideas several years later.

  • I had an incredible experience working with Karen. She was an exceptional listener who provided a safe and non-judgmental space for me to express my thoughts and feelings. Her prompts were insightful and helped me gain clarity on my beliefs and values. Karen's ability to rephrase my words was truly inspiring and helped me set new goals. I highly recommend working with her to anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of themselves and their unique life situations.

    E.S.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Karen as my health and wellness coach, and I cannot recommend her enough. Karen was such an upbeat personality, and she truly cared about my well-being. Her positive energy and passion for health and wellness were contagious, and I always left our sessions feeling motivated and inspired. One of the most significant benefits I had from working with Karen was her ability to help me stick to my goals. I had struggled with consistency and accountability in the past, but Karen's coaching and support helped me stay focused and committed. She provided me with the tools and strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve my goals, and I saw how much progress I made under her guidance. Another thing that I appreciated about Karen was her holistic approach to wellness. She understood that health is not just about diet and exercise but also about mindset, self-care, and personal development. She helped me connect the dots between different aspects of my life and identify areas where I could improve and grow. Overall, I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking to work on their visions, goals, and dreams, not just in health but in life in general. She is a fantastic coach and a wonderful person, and I am grateful for the impact that she has had on my life.
