Working with Karen has changed my life.  I have finally learned about food and nutrition and how to make the right choices.  With this knowledge, Karen and I worked together to change my meal plan and, in turn, my eating habits.  Prior to working with Karen, I had never lost more than 10 lbs. - and whenever I went off a diet, I gained the 10 lbs. back - plus more.   

Today, I am achieving something I never thought possible - 
significant weight loss.  I credit my new wardrobe to the 
professionalism and enthusiasm that the one-on-one counseling with Karen has provided for me.   DP, 27

Karen has shown me that it is possible to achieve weight goals without giving up everything I enjoy.  She initially developed an individualized plan for me and then gave me the tools needed to modify this plan according to my needs.  We had regular progress reviews where Karen was both flexible and firm in her support and guidance.  With her assistance, I have moved from a "state of depression" about my physical condition to one of "cautious optimism".  I have also become better educated about reading food labels, food safety and vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements.

Before working with Karen, I had met with other several nutrition professionals with whom I could not establish a strong rapport.  With Karen, I finally found a nutrition counselor who was not only extremely knowledgeable, but a "good" listener, empathetic and most of all respectful of me, and my particular needs.   LS, 65

Being a professed junk-a-holic and former runner, I was feeling lousy and out of shape.  I realized I needed help getting back on track with my exercise as well as planning better-balanced meals.   Karen was the perfect person to help me do just this.  She taught me how to make better food choices and to slowly ease back into my exercise regime.  Although my main focus was eating healthier, I've lost pounds and inches, which means I now have a new wardrobe.  My success is a direct tribute to Karen.  What worked for me is the fact that Karen was always accessible, she has an in-depth knowledge of health and nutrition, and her energy is endless! 

Thanks to Karen, today I am 15 pounds lighter and back to jogging - this is solely due to Karen's commitment to see me succeed and meet my nutrition and wellness goals!  LH, 48

Celiac Disease – The Curse of the Wheat Lover! “There is life and enjoyment of food after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease and Colitis” – that’s what Karen taught me.

I don’t know what I would have done without her.  She’s knowledgeable, tells it like it is whether you want to hear or not, while remaining compassionate at the same time.  Karen helped me find new ways of eating and manufacturers that make wheat and gluten free products – even bread, bagels, and macaroni! She worked up an individualized plan for me to follow, so I could gradually become accustomed to this new way of eating. It’s been a year now, and I am grateful that I found the help I needed to live with this disease in Karen.  Today, I’m healthy and happy and don’t miss wheat at all (well, not too much)! DF, 48

Recently I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and my physician suggested I see a nutritionist.  My decision to see Karen about instituting a proper diet, and obtaining a better understanding of diabetes, its effects and the best way to control it was the best decision I could have ever made.  Her knowledge on these subjects was first rate and she approached these rather delicate issues with the utmost in professionalism and caring.  Karen's energy and overall positive attitude make it virtually impossible for you not to believe you can accomplish your goals.  It is also impossible to leave her office and be less than 100% motivated to implement her proven program to improve your overall health and well-being.  Karen was the perfect prescription for my condition!!
