In case you've ever wondered why I got into health coaching here's a little bit about my story and my own health journey!
I wasn't always health conscious. In fact, growing up I was quite the picky eater. I ate lots of processed foods in and outside the home. My mom was always trying to get me to eat all the good-for-me foods but little me just wouldn't have it. It wasn't until I was 15, going through the most awkward years of my life, and struggling with depression that I found holistic health.
Podcasts became my THING! I would listen to episode after episode and just soak up all the knowledge. Then came a health book or two or three...and I just couldn't get enough. To this day learning knew things in the health and wellness world is my favorite pass-time. The realization that we are all being poisoned by processed foods, pharmaceuticals, and toxic products sparked a fire in me that will never burn out. I knew that I needed to do my part in educating others and showing them what it truly means to live a healthy lifestyle.
Inundated with so much information, it's practically impossible to know what is safe to put in and on your body. I found truth in Holistic and Functional practices. I loved that in holistic health you don't just throw a band-aid on your symptoms and move on, you find the cause of the issue and then give the body wholesome ingredients that nourish and heal!
In high school I came across the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). I had my heart set on going but wasn't sure coaching was for me yet. So I went to college and studied Nutritional Science to become a Registered Dietitian. But two years later realized I didn't want to go to school to learn about the government guidelines for nutrition that have no regard for the whole body and not be able to spend quality time with patients that need real guidance.
So I came back to health coaching, enrolled in IIN, soaked up every bit information I learned in my schooling, and launched my business! My very first day of lectures in IIN, I knew this was it. This was the thing I was meant to do. I could change so many lives coaching
others and teaching them how to care for their bodies with wholesome foods. Living a healthy life and showing others to do the same is something I will never stop doing. It is my true passion and my only hope is that my clients see how much I care about them and their journey.
I curated my 6-month programs with each individual in mind. Ensuring that those who work with me, end the program having achieved their goals and transform their health and wellness! Having gone through so many ups and downs in my own health journey I realized that each person is so different. What worked for me, would likely not work for the next person.
I spent many years trying different dietary theories, workout routines, and fads from counting macros to cutting out carbs, from running half marathons to lifting weights, my journey has come a long way. In the end it always comes back to listening to your body and looking at your body as a whole- mind, body, and soul.
My promise to my clients in that I will always treat them as an individual and meet them where they are in their health journeys. Never losing sight of why I started my practice as a Holistic Health Coach. It is my passion and my life. Always remember health is the best investment you could ever make!
With love,
Your Health Coach Karys
