A little about your coach

Well, hello there!

Karen Knutson, CTNC, LHNC ™

Food is my love language. I love to create recipes or meals and share them with clients, family and friends. I see food as having three beautiful functions…it’s our fuel, it helps us function and most of all….it can help with healing. With many options available to improve our health, let’s also start with nourishing our bodies.

As a holistic nutrition coach I’m passionate about helping individuals achieve their health and wellness goals through personalized nutrition plans and lifestyle changes.

Wellness is an important part of my everyday life which led me to fully embrace it by retiring from over 15 years in corporate finance and accounting, to becoming a holistic nutrition coach. I am a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach (CTNC) through the Institute of Transformational Nutrition and a Licensed Health & Nutrition Counselor through membership with the Canadian Association of Integrative Nutrition (CAIN – LHNC ™).

I take a whole person approach to coaching by really meeting clients where they are at. I work together with my clients to create personalized nutrition plans that are tailored to their unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. Whether you're looking to improve digestion, improve mental health, gain energy, lose weight, manage a health condition, optimize health, or simply feel better, I am here to provide the guidance, support, and accountability needed to succeed.

As your coach, I am committed to helping you create sustainable changes in your eating habits and lifestyle. I believe that a balanced, real, whole food based diet, along with shifts in routines and habits are key to optimal health, and I will work with you to develop a plan towards achieving your goals.

I have not been immune to my own health issues as I’ve experienced toxicity, food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, weight gain, a poor relationship with food and more. This has helped me to become a better coach through self-discovery, trial and error, and continual education.

I am excited to work with you and help you achieve your health and wellness goals through the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes. Let's do this together!
