Hello!
I am Karissa, I would love the opportunity to be your health coach, to help empower you to reach your ideal healthy vision of yourself based on what matters most to you; because nobody knows you better than you.
I obtained my B.S in Community Health with a Minor in Psychology. Currently I am Certified NBC-HWC Health Coach and NASM Nutrition Coach where I have been assisting clients overcome challenges such as weight loss and stress management and making lifestyle changes. My passion is helping clients with perspective shifts when it comes to overcoming their health obstacles.
My coaching style is client centered. You as the client, are driving the sessions based on your values and ideal healthy vision for yourself. I am your ally, riding along side you on your wellness journey helping you navigate through challenges and celebrating your successes. Empowering you every step of the way as we co-create your personal health plan to change unwanted behaviors and developing tools to take with you the rest of your life.
The first session is a complimentary 30 minute session exploring your health aspirations, identifying what matters most to you and your health. Then we dive further about Health Coaching and see if this is a good fit for you. :)
I Have always had a passion for health and wellness and to help others ever since I was a child. During my Undergraduate, I always knew I wanted to be in the health care profession, I just didn’t know where. I sought out different avenues I could go. When I did a job shadow opportunity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN, I got to speak with a Health Coach, who was inspirational and talked about all aspects of health that I believed in which lead me to pursue a career as a Health Coach.
