Karen knows that health is one of the keys to enjoying one's life and she is passionate about coaching women towards better health.
Even though I was born with only one functioning kidney, that never stopped me from living my life. Throughout childhood and well into my adult years, I loved eating sweets and salty snacks. I never worried much about what I ate until I got a hypertension diagnosis that stopped me in my tracks. In order to extend the longevity of my kidney function, I had to make some dietary changes.
I started by trying to limit my salt and sugar intake but I felt like I was always fighting those cravings for sweet and salty foods. I almost felt controlled by them! It was exhausting and I knew I wasn’t helping my body either. After a meeting with my nephrologist, I realized that I had to take on a more focused approach. It wasn’t enough to just limit my salt and sugar. I had to focus on ALL areas of my diet as well as my lifestyle as a whole.
As I started cleaning up my diet little by little, I noticed that I was maintaining my ideal weight easily AND I felt good! I felt lighter in my body and had so much more energy! I learned that I didn't need to feel stuffed in order to be full and nourished. I no longer allowed my cravings to take control of me and I became much more intentional about what I ate. I finally understood that I am eating for nutrition, not just taste. However, nourishing whole foods can be incredibly tasty too! This was life changing for me!

"No matter how much talent I bring to the table, my coach has been key to helping me tap into my talent beyond my capability to reach on my own. For sure, that was my experience in my leadership growth with you (Karen) as my executive coach. I am certain I could not have become the leader I am today without your coaching that greatly influences how I “show up” to work each and every day. Many thanks!"
"Having Karen Weaver as my coach was God putting the right person in my life at the right time. In my quest to find my new self as I went through being a new empty-nester as a single mother, Karen held me by asking the simplest questions with the greatest impact. Her patience and her willingness to laugh when I laughed and her ability to use empathy and compassion. Allowed me to be safe, be myself, and to be daring, intentional, and curious about my immediate and distant future. Thank you Karen!"
"Karen creates honest space for you to sit with your thoughts. Her gentle spirit keeps you coming back for more honest space."
