About Me

Tailored Nutritional, Supplemental & Holistic Guidance—Rooted in Self-Care and Stress Responsive Nutrition.

Karen is a Holistic Nutritionist and self-care mentor with over a decade of experience, specializing in Stress Responsive Nutrition—a personalized, non-restrictive approach that helps sensitive, overwhelmed, and burnout-prone individuals restore balance and well-being.

Her work also blends Intuitive Eating, simple lifestyle modifications, and emotional well-being into a seamless experience of a “whole person” view of wellness.

She offers personalized support in holistic nutrition, targeted supplementation, and natural remedies, all centered around sustainable and nurturing daily habits, and the belief that food should calm the nervous system, not confuse or control it.

What to Expect in a Session with Karen?

Karen’s sessions reflect a holistic and unconventional approach to wellness, combining:

-Energy-enhancing and stress-supportive foods

-Supplementation and Herbal solutions tailored to stress and energy imbalances

-Self-Care ideas for emotional and physical resilience

-Gentle and respectful guidance that sees you as the center of your own well being.

-Intuitive and Mindful eating practices.

-And more...

She doesn’t fixate on body size, calories, or weight. Instead, she encourages a positive self-concept, joyful eating, and long-term nourishment habits that honor both your emotional and physical well-being.

Karen’s philosophy is refreshingly clear: restrictive dieting and food deprivation are not part of the solution—they are part of the problem. She rejects guilt-based eating and the labeling of food as “good” or “bad,” focusing instead on what supports you and your unique wellness process.

Karen's Professional View on Food & Energy

Karen believes food is more than fuel—it’s a form of emotional, social, and energetic nourishment.

Through this lens, she helps clients create their “Happy Place” with food—one rooted in intuition, pleasure, balance, and energetic alignment.

She knows everybody is on their own wellness path, and no one should walk it alone; and so brings warmth, empathy, and unwavering support to each session, walking beside you as both a guide and a trusted ally.

The ultimate goal is to help you master your energy, reclaim your joy, and feel empowered in your body—without shame, rigidity, or overwhelm.
