Ditch the bloating, fatigue, and hormone issues.

Feel like yourself again.

When was the last time you woke up with a spring in your step, ready to start your day rather than needing a coffee, or 3, to get going? Or the last time you had a normal period without crazy PMS, hormonal acne or period pain coming from PCOS or fibroids? Or when you last ate a meal and felt comfortably sated rather than fearful you may have gas, bloating or another food sensitivity symptom?

My approach:

  • I work with a lot of clients who have tried conventional medicine and haven’t found the solutions they seek - particularly clients with mystery gut issues, hormonal imbalance symptoms, perimenopause/menopause or infertility or those suffering from burnout or stress-related health conditions. You may have a range of strange symptoms which come and go, and seem related to one another in ways you can’t figure out on your own.

  • I see the body and systems of the body as INTERCONNECTED rather than as separate parts. We start with a deep dive into your entire health history - including physical, emotional and family history and current diet and lifestyle habits affecting symptoms.

  • I analyze and interpret past lab testing and recommend further testing when needed. I often order and interpret FUNCTIONAL LABS (most often DUTCH hormone testing and GI MAP stool testing) to use your own data to help provide answers and guide our protocol.

  • Together, we develop a protocol which addresses your WHOLE BODY and includes diet changes, strategic supplementation, exercise and lifestyle shifts which support healing, and mindset work to make changes stick.

  • Once you start a protocol, we are in regular contact by email, text or in a scheduled meeting to keep you on track and make any adjustments to our plan to get you the results you seek. You will have video and written summaries of all points after each meeting.

  • I work with most clients for 3-6 months. While health shifts vary, I see the best results over a 6 month time period with bi-weekly checkins.

  • I charge 100e per hour

What is Functional Medicine Nutrition?

  • Views health as OPTIMAL WELLNESS rather than the absence of sickness and disease

  • Deals with the ROOT CAUSE of health problems and not just managing symptoms - it looks at what is upstream that manifests as symptoms downstream

  • Uses FUNCTIONAL LABS when needed to treat based on data, rather than relying only on symptoms

  • Helps PREVENT disease rather than waiting for it to turn up - so it looks at a far wider range of labs than allopathic medicine offers and looks to keep us in healthy, optimal ranges rather than just non-diseased ranges

  • Tends to work far better on hard to treat modern ailments like gut imbalances (SIBO, Leaky Gut, IBS and bacterial overgrowths), and food sensitivities using stool testing, improving the North to South digestive process that impede proper digestion but are rarely addressed and current best practices research and lab testing. It also shines in working with hormone imbalance symptoms such as endometriosis, PCOS, thyroid issues, long COVID, autoimmunity and burnout.

  • Is HOLISTIC and not reductionist

What people are saying

    I’ve worked with Kari on my health for the last 8 months now and she is really the best coach. She has a very holistic approach, looking at symptoms in combination. Her recommendations are down to earth, very clear and you can instantly and easily integrate them in your daily life.

    The most valuable thing is that she gives you the context to understand what is happening in your body and why. I was having stomach issues and after a gut test we started to treat them with natural antibiotics. All my constitution changed a lot - the food craving is gone, I feel strong, energetic and powerful. One after the other the whole family started working with her. It makes a huge difference to have someone like Kari by your side, in addition to traditional medicine, as you are treating the causes not the symptoms. I can recommend it to anyone who experiences some irregularities or annoyances in his or her body or also just only has the impression something could be better. You feel the difference afterwards!

    Having attended Kari’s yoga classes for some years, I embarked on a journey to rebalance my body and improve my physical health, focusing on nutrition due to my severe food intolerances. Kari provided me with advice and knowledge, combining food with physical and mental health. We evaluated blood tests and she recommended a full GI map which uncovered a lot of information I previously never knew! We took a deep dive into many issues I was facing, some of them personal, and I always felt at ease discussing openly with her. Kari is very affable and a great listener. I’m deeply grateful for her expertise, time and support!

  • Regina B.

    Thanks to Kari , I feel better in my body, have a better diet and eating habits, improved sleep, a daily meditation and yoga practice and an all-around quiet confidence as I go through life. I even lost 8 kilos!! Kari didn't teach from a place of judgement or pressure, but took people as they were and connected with each of us. She is a great health coach!

  • Ursula F.

    Kari is an inspiring person and it is easy to follow her. The program will change my habits also in the future which I think is the most positive thing compared to other programs and retreats. (Working with her) touches on a lot of areas you do not think of in your daily life and you develop a consciousness around those little things. I sleep better, am eating better, have a stronger meditation practice and have even lost several kilos.

  • Silke K.

    I have learned so much, even though I have a lot of experience in fasting and sane, healthy nutrition : STOP-PAUSE-FEEL reminds me while craving for food, practicing yoga in the morning, knowing that lower back pain can come from cleansing (maybe also from not letting go), 3 meals a day (5 hours pause in between), 6pm last meal, no wheat, no sugar. I love this experience, the support we gave us and I will continue with the new research as much as I can assimilate.

    I just wanted to let you know I’m feeling really good! Like really good. Early lighter dinner most days of the week, no snacking, and a little more sleep has really improved my emotional state. I think the depression I have been plagued with off and on throughout my life could really be changed with some very modest habit change. What an illumination!
