Built for Women Reinventing Wellness on Their Own Terms

Hi, I’m Kara.

I spent over a decade in leadership roles, navigating deadlines, boardrooms, school runs and Sunday team meetings.

While I was doing everything “right”, eating well, working out, being a mom and a professional, I still felt… drained, foggy, and frustrated by a body that no longer responded the way it used to.

In my late 30s and early 40s, I found myself asking: “Why am I tired all the time? Why is the scale creeping up even though I’m being ‘good’? What’s happening to my mood and sleep?”

I discovered that everything was connected: my metabolism was shifting, my hormones were mis-aligned, and my lifestyle (even as healthy as it seemed) wasn’t built for this season. That’s when I realized: women like us need a different kind of wellness, one that honors career, family and fatigue; one that meets us where we are and leads us to real transformation.

Why I launched The Wellness Shift

I launched The Wellness Shift because I saw too many credible women chasing semi-solutions: restrictive diets, expensive products, “one-size-fits‐all” programs that ignored the real juggle of life. And the results? Short-lived. Overwhelming. Unfulfilling.

My mission is to give you something different: a program, a community and a way of life that works for the woman who has a career to run, children to raise and a body that’s asking for something more than “just another cleanse.”

You deserve wellness that fits your reality—not your Pinterest board. You deserve energy that lasts, hormones that cooperate, and a body that feels like home. That’s why I created The Wellness Shift.

My Approach

  • We use evidence-based strategies (for metabolism, hormonal health and lifestyle) but apply them in your context—your calendar, your family, your stress.

  • Whether you’re a team-lead who travels or a mom managing soccer practice and spreadsheets, this program is designed for the woman in her 30s-40s who’s been doing “everything right” and still wants better.

    • Metabolism: Unlock lasting energy and return your body to optimal fuel use.

    • Hormones: Restore balance to mood, sleep, weight and vitality.

    • Lifestyle: Create sustainable routines that honor your career, your kids and your weekends.

  • Life happens. Late nights. Meetings. Overcommitting. We pivot, adjust and move forward—no guilt.

  • You’ll join a circle of like-minded women who get it, support you and hold you accountable.

My Coaching Philosophy

Wellness that fits your life, because you’re not starting over, you’re shifting into your strongest self.
