  • You’ve gained weight that won't budge

  • The old strategies you used to stay fit and healthy no longer work

  • Your favorite food or evening glass of wine now cause setbacks

  • You rely on more coffee or energy drinks to get through the day

  • You deal with brain fog, lack of focus, or memory issues

  • You’re losing muscle mass and feeling weaker than before

  • You’re battling mood swings or irritability that seem out of the blue

Hi, I’m Karin.

Drawing from over 20 years of experience and my personal journey overcoming hypothyroidism, Lyme disease, and the challenges of perimenopause, I am dedicated to helping women reclaim their health, balance their hormones, and live vibrant, fulfilling lives. My goal is to inspire women to prioritize their well-being, embrace their body's changes, and discover new ways to feel empowered at every stage of life.

Health Data Analysis

Health Assessment

Midlife is a time of profound change, making it the perfect opportunity to take a deeper look at your health from the inside out.

My health analysis service begins with a comprehensive consultation to identify the most beneficial lab work or diagnostic tests tailored to your unique needs. Once your results are in, I will thoroughly analyze the data and schedule a follow-up call to review the findings in detail. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to support your health, vitality, and well-being.

Bioenergetic Screening

Your body is an intricate network of energy and information, with systems like meridians and energetic pathways playing a vital role in your health and vitality.

My bioenergetic body scan uses advanced frequency-based and quantum science technology to assess these systems and uncover hidden imbalances. This non-invasive scan provides a deeper understanding of your body’s unique needs. Following the scan, I’ll analyze the results and provide actionable insights, along with tailored recommendations to restore balance, support optimal wellness, and align your energy for a more vibrant you.

Meet Karin

As a 46-year-old woman with over 20 years of experience in health and fitness, my journey has had its share of challenges. In my 20s and 30s, I lived in constant “busy” and “high stress” mode, which led to struggles with hypothyroidism, gut issues, and Lyme disease. Through a commitment to lifestyle changes, I overcame these hurdles, learning firsthand the power of holistic wellness.

Despite these achievements, at 45 years old I found myself at a new crossroads when my body, once responsive to my healthy habits, suddenly stopped cooperating. To my surprise, I discovered I was entering perimenopause—something I knew little about. I had assumed that my years of living a healthy lifestyle would shield me from such challenges, but I soon realized I needed new strategies.

Determined to understand the hormonal changes of perimenopause and beyond, I dove into learning everything I could about this transformative stage. Now, I am dedicated to sharing my story, educating, and supporting women as they navigate their own midlife transitions, empowering them with knowledge and tools to thrive.

Testimonials

  • “Karin brings an incredible depth of knowledge and experience in nutrition, anatomy, physical therapy, and personal training to her work. She takes the time to truly listen to her clients, collaborating with them to set realistic, challenging, and achievable goals. Karin respects your understanding of your own body and health concerns, ensuring every workout is meaningful and adapted to your needs. She avoids the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, tailoring each session to how you’re feeling that day, rather than pushing you through a rigid routine. Her positive energy and inspiring guidance encourage you to push beyond your comfort zone, helping you realize your full potential.”

  • Karin’s effectiveness comes from the many expert hats she wears. Part nutrition coach, former physical therapist assistant, and seasoned trainer, she's able to meet women my age in the variety of situations we find ourselves. She certainly was an absolute Godsend when I went through two different surgeries for breast cancer, helping me heal up and get back to exercising. Her flexibility is also awesome. She'll work out with you in a gym, at a park or online and that flexibility makes her a dynamite workout partner.
