BLOATING • HEADACHES • JOINT PAIN • ANXIETY • ACID REFLUX • FATIGUE • ASTHMA
Dry Skin • Depression • Autoimmunity • Brain Fog • High Blood Pressure • Constipation
Weight that won’t budge. Skin that doesn’t heal. Sleep that’s unsatisfying.
Medications that make it all worse.
These symptoms aren’t normal. Your genetics don’t make them your destiny.
And they don’t just come with aging.
Your body’s always working perfectly (cue the side eye).
It’s helped you to survive, right?
Now it’s up to you to take action to help it thrive.
I appreciate the skeptic who wants to consider all the details.
But what would you try if you believed you couldn’t fail?

2 Planning sessions
Once we’ve confirmed we’re a fit , I’ll conduct a comprehensive Functional Wellness Assessment of the detailed health journey that’s brought you here, from childhood illnesses to the latest diet you’ve tried and everything in-between. I’ll show you how to begin connecting the dots on what your body’s been trying to tell you through your symptoms.
Together, we’ll partner to prioritize your goals, understand your non-negotiables (we all have them), and outline important milestones. Using my signature 3R Method, we'll agree on preliminary steps to kickoff your personalized WellLife Plan with an recommitment to the Wellness Foundations.
3 virtual coaching sessions
Over approximately 12 weeks, we’ll initiate a series of small, targeted changes that result in big impact when implemented in the right order at a pace you and your body set. The 3R Method provides the framework for success. Bi-weekly coaching (and online chats in-between) allows for a review of how the body's responding so we can determine the best next step to more progress. Each session immerses you in a deeper understanding of how your body works and what it needs (and doesn’t), increasing your confidence as a health-savvy decision-maker.
1 virtual coaching session
As your preliminary dive comes to a close, we’ll revisit your goals, identify next steps, and identify where health partnership - with MLH and beyond - fits into your plan.
*The cost of lab testing is not included in services pricing. Options for conducting testing either through your current provider or online lab vendors will be provided should you opt to pursue it.
† The Wellness Deep Dive (WDD) package must be completed within 4 months of the date of your first session (i.e., Functional Wellness Assessment). Extension packages begin following completion of the last WDD session.
This move's too important not to be all in.
Consider booking a Functional Wellness Assessment. The $350 cost of this one-time consultation may be applied to a future Wellness Deep Dive package if purchased within 30 days of your completed assessment.
Real Results. Real Women.
I've lost 29lbs and I walk 1-2 miles a day. I'm, definitely, a work in progress but I'm doing it every day and loving it! When I first started working with you, I could only walk 10-15min a day. I was dealing with gall bladder issues and my body was sick and tired! We worked together with my doctor to find the best options possible to get me healthy. I chose surgery and you were there to help with recovery. My biggest win is waking up every day with a healthy mindset, being a role model for my family and friends, and having confidence in myself. Kara, you have a special gift, thank you for sharing a part of that with me!
This program was unlike any other plan I’ve done; it went far beyond food and my goal to just lose weight. I learned so much about myself, my habits and desires than I ever expected. I just feel better, overall, about my body. When I felt like I was failing, your insight helped me reframe the situation, understand my behavior, and strategize the next steps. You have a special gift and use your talents so wisely. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Kara gets to the nitty gritty of your issues and helps find solutions. Even though her knowledge of functional medicine runs deep she explains things in a way you can understand. You can really tell she cares and that she is invested in you! I really enjoyed working with Kara and would highly recommend her as a health coach!
My body was getting all the right stuff, plenty of exercise and it still was struggling. After working with MLH, the constipation has gone away. No more bloating. My skin cleared up. I sleep through the night and I'm not afraid of meals. I learned that “ME” time is important for my mental health, and directly impacts physical health. I no longer believe that food is my enemy or that I’m stuck.
I’m sleeping better, I’m eating many more foods than I was before, and I’ve even found a way to enjoy eating out again. I was sick and tired, and getting nowhere with my doctor. You really helped me to connect the dots between the foods I was eating and how I felt. My greatest learning is that this isn’t just about my diet; it’s about all the choices I make in my life including stress, energy, sleep and even exercise. I don’t even like the gym but thanks to your patience and creativity I have a plan for exercise MY way. My hips and knees feel better, I have more energy, and I’m even sweating!
I didn’t believe I could make these changes, and now I’m not happy doing just the minimum. Often it doesn’t feel like little changes count, but talking through small steps really helped me to create a realistic plan I could achieve. Now I want to be an even healthier version of me, and a good example for my patients.
I want to lose weight and be healthier, but I want to be a role model for my teenage daughter even more. Once that became my goal, the way I thought about things changed a lot. I used to hide food from her, but now I don’t have to because I know what I’m eating is healthy. I even feel better asking my doctor questions about my health now. I’m still a work in progress but feel so much more in control of my life and health.
Despite my knowledge of health and functional medicine, I was feeling the worst I had ever felt. I had a pretty healthy overall lifestyle, but it wasn’t consistent. I tended to jump from thing to thing trying everything. Kara helped me slow down while also digging deep to investigate what might really be going on in my body. Her approach has not only affected the way I look at health challenges and "fix" things but also the way I see my life in general.
My brain fog is gone, my lab work is improving, and I feel that I've taken charge of my health. I feel better, brighter and lighter all due to Kara showing me the what, the how, and the why of this work. She has consistently helped me to create the action steps necessary to achieve my goals. My biggest win has been regaining hope for a medication free healthy lifestyle future. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I feel like Kara has led me, mostly "crutch free" to the edge of the woods where the sun is, definitely, shining again!
My digestion system was struggling, I was constantly tired and was experiencing horrible menstrual cycles. My doctor kept telling me it was normal to be this tired and ran a few labs which showed I was very anemic. Her answer to this was to take iron pills, which left me feeling sicker. Her next answer was birth control which I wasn’t willing to take. Instead, I started working with Kara. She acknowledged that my experience wasn’t normal and gave me hope. I now have energy and am working out again. My digestion is better. And my cycles are normal for the first time since I was a teenager. Her knowledge of the body and how everything works together, her persistence, guidance, expertise, and compassion is priceless.
Stress and inflammation were predominant in my life and negatively impacted my energy levels and digestion. Your tools broadened my perspective and freed up mental space for me to, actually, start. My body was more satisfied and felt fueled. A body/mind/heart running on empty is not beneficial to anyone, and now I have the tools to stay healthy.
My nails and skin are healthier. I no longer crave everything in sight. I don't have to worry about an occasional meal out wrecking me for days. I'm not as thirsty, and I've even gained three hours of sleep a night! My doctor never told me I'd need to do anything different after they removed my gallbladder, but I can't even compare my health after surgery with how (well) I'm feeling today.
How long will it take me to see progress?
Each body is different and so is their rate of healing. I’ll meet you where you are and collaborate with you on a game plan that fits your needs and preferences. “Fast fixes” aren’t part of a functional medicine approach, but “fast action” in the form of next steps is. While recognizable changes are typical within 3-6 months, the timeline for full resolution of symptoms differs for each person.
Does my health insurance cover your services?
The short answer is “maybe” but you will need to consult your medical provider. Using funds from a Health Savings or Flexible Spending Account may be an option, but often requires specific documentation to have your claim approved. Many providers require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) in addition to a receipt.
Do you offer more than nutrition and exercise plans?
Whole food nutrition and movement are two wellness basics you can count on discussing as part of your WellLife Plan, however, I do not offer formal meal or fitness plans/programming. Brainstorming with you to identify healthy meals, snacks, and activity or workout options, however, is core to our sessions. We’ll also explore helpful tools and resources you can tap into for long-term success.
Do I have to purchase supplements and lab testing as part of the program?
No. In our experience, most lab work won’t change where we start so it’s not a requirement. That said, lab work – especially basic blood chemistry - can be a valuable tool in our work together, and progress may be slower without this data. More specific functional testing (e.g., hormones, stool, etc.) can offer insights blood work cannot and is available. We approach supplements from the same perspective, though will certainly discuss the quality of any supplements you may be using today and share with us at intake. Please note that we use lab testing to support client education only. More Life+Health does not offer medical services and so does diagnose, treat, or prescribe.
What happens at the end of my package?
You and your body will determine the pace of your program. As we approach the end of your initial package, we’ll do a milestone check-in and discuss progress against your intake goals. From there, we’ll either co-create a transition plan you can manage on your own or discuss options for continuing our work together.
How do I know if I’m a good fit for the one-on-one program?
One-on-one coaching is intensive, up close and personal, and intended for the person who’s eager to be an active participant in the get-well process. More Life & Health will provide guidance, clinical insight, tools, and coaching but you will have to do the work. Every client’s success looks different and is achieved at a different pace. That said, there are two items that, in our experience, can sabotage success from the start: Enrolling to satisfy someone else’s goals for you. If you’re not inspired to do this for yourself right now, please wait until you are.
Severe emotional trauma is contributing to your health issues. The mental, emotional, and spiritual components of our lives are integral to our wellness and, therefore, naturally show up in the health coaching process. Severe cases, however, are best supported by a professional mental health specialist trained to help you determine when you’re emotionally healthy enough to take on a new challenge. We’ll be ready when you are and open to partnering with your other health providers. If you’ve already invested what feels like way too much energy to still feel stuck, consider scheduling a HealthyFit Consult today to explore what we offer.
May I schedule a single session just to have my lab work reviewed?
No. Lab testing and education is limited to enrolled clients or past clients supporting their long-term health and wellness plan with check-ins.
Can I just apply for the Functional Wellness Assessment (FWA) rather than a full coaching package?
I appreciate the occasional need to “try before you buy” especially when YOU will be accountable for doing so much of the work. While action planning will not begin until your coaching sessions begin, the FWA can be very valuable on its own to shifting how you view your symptoms and getting well.
Policy Note: The investment in your FWA may be applied to the purchase of a Wellness Deep Dive Package if confirmed within six months of your completed FWA. After that date, you’ll need to reach out to MLH via email to set up a Revisit Call to determine next steps. A lot can change in six months, so it’s important that we confirm we’re still a good fit.
What do you offer that the doctors and specialists I’ve seen don’t?
I offer up-close-and-personal coaching support to, actually, implement the personalized recommendations we make. Whether you’ve worked solely with conventional practitioners (i.e., traditional Western medicine) or also explored alternative health professionals using more natural approaches, you’ve likely been handed a treatment plan you had to implement on your own. Connecting the dots of your health story, education, and guidance are our specialty to ensure you can stay accountable and successful.
Who is this program not for?
Savvy decision-makers don’t like surprises (neither do I), so in the spirit of complete transparency let’s get crystal clear about what won’t be included in our time together:
