the local dive

and trying to have a life

neurotic

- horse groom (getting dirty with the best of them)
- hostess with charm under pressure

- just to name a few...
...you name it. She’s probably done it.
She’s been broke, she’s done well, and been broke again
and finally figured some things out and is doing very well (always
still learning!) Ah! Life is the ultimate teacher, isn’t it!
Karin simply appreciates women’s friendships and brings her
love of feminine issues to her practice everyday. (Ask her about
her network of women’s support groups)
As a graduate of Marymount College of Fordham University (formerly
part of a national, sister network of The Marymount Colleges for
Women) in New York and The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in
New York City, she has been extensively trained in modern health
counseling, eastern and western nutrition and using food as therapy.
Karin is certified as a Holistic Health Counselor and accredited
with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).

She has studied with well-known masters of the
alternative health field known for their ability to convey a deep
appreciation for the healing arts, as well as the challenges and
concerns of American life today. She continues her education both

Why Women’s Health?
Attending a women’s college really began
opening her eyes to the differences in teaching and communication
style used in women’s education. There she met some of the
nicest and smartest women she has ever known. From professors to
fellow students, her return to school was warmly received and she
never forgot it. She quickly developed a strong interest in the
challenges and concerns of today’s woman.
Despite her education track in journalism, business
administration and English Literature, Karin began pursuing a formal
education in nutrition and wellness by following the traditional
route of enrolling into a nutrition science program geared towards
becoming a Registered Dietician.
Simultaneously, she enrolled in a holistic nutrition
and counseling training program at Integrative Nutrition and began
living a dual life. By day she played by the rules of traditional
nutrition theories based on diet planning, calorie counting, regurgitating
information and chemistry. By evening and weekend, she passionately
devoured any and every book she could read on alternative perspectives
of health and creating change, and studied with the leaders of the
alternative and holistic health movement in food and nutrition.
She quickly began to see where her energy was and made a swift change
to building a practice using all of her experience. She has been
leading women (and the occasional man) to lasting health ever since.
After recovering from severe PMS symptoms, being
at the whim of her cravings and food addictions and a lifetime of
being a workaholic, Karin began to understand what women truly desired
and craved in their life and what was holding them back from getting
it. She too had once been that woman who put herself last, suffered
every month with out-of-control mood swings and debilitating menstrual
cramps. She discovered a direct correlation between a woman’s
self-care and her ability to live her life as she dreamed it.
