My Inspiration to Become a Health Coach
I’ve been there.
In the year 2000, I lost my mother from heart disease at the young age of 67. Less than two years later, my father died from cancer at the age of 69. Then, in 2008, my husband of 22 years died suddenly and unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm. He was only 47. I was a 44-year-old grief-stricken widow and overwhelmed by instantly becoming a single parent left to manage everything myself.
I began to comfort myself with food. Before I knew it, I weighed 194 lbs at just 5’ tall, and I was taking medications for cholesterol, triglycerides, and high blood pressure. Years later, I met a wonderful man who became my second husband, though I was still overweight and unhealthy.
One day, I finally realized it was time to take back control of my health, not only for myself but for my new husband, my sons, and my adorable grandsons. I wanted to live a healthier life to continue building precious memories with my loved ones. So, I joined a fitness group called Camp Gladiator. I also realized I needed to change my unhealthy eating habits. I read numerous books about nutrition and our food industry. Over three years, I successfully lost 60 lbs and came off all my medications. Currently, at the age of 55, I’ve never felt better physically, mentally, and spiritually.
My journey to becoming healthy filled me with an overwhelming inspiration to help others improve their lives and health. As a certified health coach, I help others to change their unhealthy habits, mindset, and make healthier choices, which lead to weight loss and increased energy and the ability to live life to fullest.

Success Stories
I want to begin by saying that I am not writing this because Kathryn is my wife. I am writing this because of the difference her journey to become a health coach has made on my life, through the knowledge I have gained from her endless hours of research. I will give you a few examples of what I mean.

A friend referred me to Kathryn. I spent about four months with her, discussing health issues. I loved Kathryn’s approach to get to the root cause of my dilemma and not put a band-aid on it, as I had experienced in the past. Speaking with her on video chat, recording my foods, and feeling after eating, we discovered the cause. I suffered from severe bloating caused by overeating, consuming my food too fast, and also found I’m sensitive to sugar and gluten. Kathryn gave me recipes to try and recommended healthier alternatives to foods I love, in addition to giving me pointers on how to combat my health concerns. Breaking old habits to become healthier is a journey, and Kathryn was there if I needed anything and consistently checking on me. She informed me about Nutrition, and it was affordable. I’m so happy to have worked with her and highly recommend Kathryn for all your nutrition needs. I found balance, and I can confidently say I’m 10/10 Healthy & Happy. Thank You so much, Kathryn.

I’m so thankful to have committed to having Kathryn as my health coach! She is passionate about her coaching, and she is determined to guide her clients to a healthier lifestyle. Kathryn is highly knowledgeable about nutrition and is helping me read labels, learn about healthier alternatives and how certain foods make me feel. She is educating me about the importance of gut health and how to improve my overall health. I wasn’t doing well with my image, and I was struggling to lose weight, so realized I needed accountability. I’ve been on yo-yo diets most of my life, and it has caught up with me. I’ve learned a great deal about myself, and why I do what I do (like eating Ice cream everyday). Kathryn has been a blessing, she will be there with you every step of the way, with encouragement and support. Sometimes, I felt like she wanted me to succeed even more than I wanted to. Kathryn is caring, inspirational and a role model, and a great coach. With Kathryn, I’m learning how to break unhealthy habits towards a healthier and happier lifestyle. The 90-day Total Body & Mind Transformation program is worth the investment. Thank you Kathryn

I reached out to Kathryn after seeing a picture of her in a N.Y. Mets shirt, she stated she weighed 194lbs and it reminded me of myself. My highest weight was 199 lbs. at 5 feet. I was so uncomfortable with myself and dreaded leaving my home. After losing 25 lbs. from working with Kathryn, I feel better about going out and being around others and more importantly I am healthier. My family and friends notice my mood is better and I’m happier. Before I started working with Kathryn, no matter how many hours I slept I was always felt tired. Now, I wake up feeling refreshed and I have fewer headaches. I also discovered I enjoy preparing healthier meals. Kathryn is always honest, kind and caring even when I wanted to give up on myself. As your health coach she is also persistent. One day I recall, I promised Kathryn that I would climb my stairs for at least 5 minutes and I didn’t. She then said to me “you promised” I said “I’ll do it tomorrow”. Kathryn’s response was “you promised and it’s only 5 minutes”. Despite my desire to comply, I walked up and down my stairs for 5 minutes. This is one example of how Kathryn will hold you accountable. After this incredible experience with Kathryn, I’ve developed healthier habits, a positive mindset, I have more energy, less anxiety and depression. My pets enjoy more quality time with a energized owner. Kathryn’s knowledge of nutrition enables her to treat each client individually. I was confident I was in good hands with Kathryn as my health coach, because she understood why I was struggling to make healthy choices, because of her own experience. I’m confident saying if you decide to invest in The 90-Day Total Body & Mind Transformation it will be life changing!
Thank You Kathryn
