Karen Wachs
OWNER & BOARD CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH
Through one-on-one coaching and educational group events, I partner with my clients to create attainable and sustainable changes to their wellness. My passion and experience for this was born out of personal experience trying to make sense of a confusing and overwhelming health world. After years of gaps in my own health journey, I decided to make a change. Now I walk alongside my clients to provide the kind of support I needed most when I was on my journey to true wellness.

My Path To
Health Coaching
I became a National Board Certified Health Coach because I know firsthand how overwhelming the health journey can be.
I’ve battled thyroid cancer, melanoma, autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation, infertility, pregnancy losses, and other unexplained health issues.
These “unexplainable” diagnoses left me feeling like my body was working against me. I sat in waiting rooms, hoping for clarity, only to leave with more questions than answers. Even with a team of wonderful doctors, the term “unexplained” was used so often. I wanted to understand the cause of all of my conditions. Yet, the medications piled up, and no one could tell me why this was happening.
So, I started researching, questioning, and piecing together my health history. I began to uncover an integrative approach to my health that finally started to make sense. Why? It considered root causes, beyond labwork, not just symptoms.
In this process, I learned how to advocate for myself, maximize my doctor’s visits, and make informed decisions about my health. I finally started seeing real change. More energy, less inflammation, and a stronger, more resilient body.
And in this beautiful season of true wellness, I knew I wanted to help others find true, lasting wellness, too.
This is my motivation for helping YOU.
