  • Working with Kat has been a transformative experience that goes far beyond just creating healthier eating plans. Her holistic approach delves deep into cultivating a positive mindset and fostering a conscious relationship with food. Through insightful conversations, weekly check-ins and personalized guidance, she has helped me shift my perspective, breaking free from restrictive thinking patterns and embracing a lifestyle of balance. Kat was great at understanding my unique needs, and providing tailored strategies that were practical and results-driven. Her responsiveness was invaluable, as she is always available to address concerns, celebrate victories, and gently steer me back on track when needed. Working with Kat is not just nutritional coaching, but also holistic health & wellbeing therapy.

  • I have been in and out of binge diets for most of my life and Kat helped me develop stability in my eating habits that resulted in losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A part from being knowledgeable about behavioral science and nutrition Kat is a deeply empathetic person that rejoices in her clients success. Kat transformed my relationship to food, which resulted in a boost of confidence, body positivity, and lasting health benefits. Go work with Kat!

    Rob

  • I've been working with Kat for over a year now and my relationship with food has changed so much since working with her. I didn't even realize how much I had such an unhealthy relationship with food - calling things "good or bad," then binge on the "bad" foods, feel guilty, over course correct with "only good foods" then go into another cycle again. I also travel a lot for work and personal and felt that I was always going to "eat clean when I get home" but realized that's not how I live my life and healthy isn't something you do only when you're home - it's something that can also be upheld when you're away. These are all things I learned while working with Kat and part of my journey with her. I now don't really deprive myself of any foods and am much more in tune with how my body feels. It's still a journey for me and I have weight goals I'd like to reach, but am much more confident about how I'll get there and most importantly....that it's sustainable! Love working with Kat, and highly recommend you do too!

    Hannah

  • Working with Kat has changed the way I think about food, shifting my mindset to see what I eat as fuel for my goals. Her attention to the way we use language to talk about our choices is unique -- always encouraging us to be mindful of positive changes in our habits and progress, and nuanced ways we can keep ourselves on track without falling back into previous patterns. The accountability that working with her provides has been instrumental in helping me reach my goals; I lost 16 pounds, but beyond that, I gained the confidence of knowing I have control over this process, even when those goals might change, which is so empowering.

    Grace

  • I've been working with Kat for nearly a year and it's been an incredible experience. I feel great. I get to eat more food than ever (like hundreds and hundreds more calories) and I'm still dropping weight. It's been so interesting to learn how to reverse my prior eating habits and properly fuel myself for workouts and normal life.

    Mandy

  • I’ve been working with Kat for almost a year and she has transformed me physically as much as mentally. Pre Kat, I was caught in the loop of eating “healthy” Monday to Friday, saving all my “treats” for the weekend when I would over indulge and then feel bloated and full of guilt, starting the cycle again on Monday morning. Kat has helped re-train my mindset around food and overall approach to eating, teaching me new terms and tools. As a mother to young girls, I wanted to not only show them how strong I was but also provide an environment free of judgement and remove any guilt around food. I am so thankful to have found Kat and look forward to another year together.

    Katie

  • Through my work with Kat, I feel more confident and in control of my eating and my body composition. She has helped me build habits in such a way that when I make choices regarding my meals, I no longer think “this is what I am suppose to do” and instead embody my habits as my own. I make these choices not because that’s what I am suppose to do but because this is who I am, a person who both enjoys food and nourishes their body. With Kat I have learned to really embrace progress over perfection. I now know that building better habits takes time. It’s more about mindfulness and understanding triggers than eating that cupcake. Kat is a fantastic coach and mentor, always supportive even in the weeks that don’t go as planned. She creates a safe space to talk about deviations that may have happened from week to week and uses them as opportunities to learn more about ourselves and our habits.

    Ashley

  • I didn't know about disordered eating and I certainly didn't recognize that I had many of the symptoms. With Kat's guidance I've been able to recalibrate my relationship with food, eliminate feelings of guilt for eating certain foods, and build a nutrition plan to fuel my workouts. Kat's weekly check-ins and the amazing group on Discord provide daily motivation to keep going!

    Erika

  • I've witnessed incredible results working with Kat. The numbers I achieved today were the goals I had set for myself years ago, but had given up on because I believed they were unattainable. Kat's program is the real deal, free from any internet nonsense. More importantly, it has restored my relationship with food. I'm not vilifying food or disregarding facts. Instead, I'm appropriately tracking nutrients and calories while allowing myself the grace to understand that perfection every day is not necessary to achieve tangible results. I highly recommend Kat. Working with her is an absolute pleasure. She is a true professional and a delightful person to work with.

    Oleg

  • I've always been skeptical about working with a nutritionist, but having struggled with nutrition/weight throughout my life, clearly whatever I was doing wasn't working. Working with Kat has been one of the best investments I've made. Based on your goals and lifestyle, Kat creates a customized plan that's not restrictive, and frequently checks-in to discuss how things are going and to keep you accountable. Kat is passionate about her work, and beyond creating a plan, she'll educate you on the science of nutrition. Since working with Kat, I've lost 35lbs and improved my body composition.

    Roman

  • I have worked with Kat for nearly 5 years consistently now and I am living in a totally different body. Kat has totally transformed me. Kat is extremely knowledgeable, she keeps you accountable and always has me in the best condition. Kat also preps me for swimwear and fashion shoot and never fails to have me looking lean and toned. Weekly check ins, follow her nutrition and training programs and I promise you that your results with be extraordinary!

    Lori

  • Working with Kat was completely different than what I expected working with a 'nutritionist'. Instead of testing my mental fortitude, Kat worked with me to instill habits that were pleasant and easy and reject anything that wasn't sustainable. Kat never forced me to do anything. She simply coached me to do what I already do, but better. I was expecting restriction, rules, and mental struggle. It was nothing like that. Kat is now my Baklava judging buddy (12 critiques and counting).

    Christos

  • I worked with Kat a couple of years ago initially for a brief time and came back again in September 2022. I'm not even sure where to start in terms of life improvements. They have surpassed so far beyond diet and exercise. I now exercise because I want to show love to my body instead of punishing it due to prior meals. I can now keep snacks in my house without eating them 30 minutes after getting home from the grocery store. I love looking in the mirror now and find that I have started to embrace the parts of my body I once spoke negatively about - my 'gross chubby knees' have turned into my 'cute knees'! I love eating and I don't feel guilt around food anymore nor do I feel restricted. On top of all of that, I'm killing it at work and my confidence is higher than it's ever been. I could not have gotten here without Kat's support, kindness, suggestions, and recommendations!

    Lauren

  • It is so difficult to admit unhealthy eating habits to ourselves, let alone another person. Kat has always been supportive and constructive and not judgmental at all. I would not get coaching from anyone else but her.

    Zube

  • For most of my life, I thought I could never enjoy food AND have the physique that I wanted - it was always one, or the other. Working with Kat has given me the tools to be able to have the foods that I love while still maintaining a physique that makes me feel good in my clothes. I finally have balance

    Karen

  • Since reconnecting with Kat and working together over the last year, I can honestly say that my relationship with my body, mind and food is the best it has been in years. Kat’s approaches are sustainable, tailored and flexible, meaning I’m not restricting certain food types and can eat out without guilt. Kat has helped work towards my goals and I’m back to feeling confident in my own skin, I’m so grateful for her ongoing support and coaching.

    Breanna

  • Kat creates a safe space for me to identify patterns that don’t align with my goals and gives me strategies and tools to make better choices that are turning into healthy routines. I’m so proud of the progress I’ve made so far!

    Audra

  • Working with Kat has been an absolute game-changer! Not only did Kat help me loose weight and build muscle, but she also educated me on nutrition, my metabolism, and taught me to see food as fuel - empowering me to make sustainable and healthy choices. By saying goodbye to fad diets, I feel like I have finally found a lifestyle that allows me to enjoy my relationship with food and makes me feel healthy and confident - while still eating out and having fun! Kat’s personalized guidance and unwavering positivity have been invaluable throughout my journey. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone seeking a sustainable and uplifting approach to health and wellness!
