Kara practices through Health At Every Size principles: weight inclusivity, health enhancement, eating for well-being, respectful care, and life-enhancing movement. She strives to meet clients where they're at in a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment. Kara encourages clients to focus on progress rather than perfection. Through a holistic approach and evidence-based practice, Kara will work with clients to create realistic and personalized goals that are unique to them and their lifestyles.

In your initial session with Kara, you'll begin with a nutrition assessment. She will ask many questions to better understand your medical history, nutritional habits, and lifestyle. This will enable Kara to develop a comprehensive nutrition plan tailored to your needs. Once the assessment is complete, she will provide you with a few actionable homework steps to work on between sessions.
