Your Evidence-Based nutrition Coaches

meet our kln team

We believe coaching works best when
It’s a team effort.

We don’t coach at our clients, we partner with them. That means building trust from day one, respecting client autonomy, and leading with empathy and curiosity. When our clients feel seen, supported, and understood, lasting change becomes not just possible, but sustainable. This is the heart of how we coach, and here are people who make it happen:

Why kln Feels Different From Day One

You’re Not Just a Set of Numbers
You’re not handed macro targets or cookie-cutter meal plans and left to figure things out on your own. We build your coaching experience around you - your lifestyle, goals, dieting history, and unique needs. Every check-in response is individualized. Every adjustment is thoughtful. You're not a set of macros; you’re a human. And we coach you like one.

We’re a Whole Team, In Your Corner
We’re a collaborative team of experienced, passionate, credentialed coaches who genuinely care. We’re always sharing ideas, refining our approach, and learning from each other — so you benefit. You’re not just getting one coach; you’ve got the knowledge, support, and brainpower of our whole team behind you.

We Make Sure Science Meets Strategy
Our coaching is evidence-led and rooted in behavior change and nutrition science but designed for real life. We don’t just tell you what to eat, we help you understand the why behind your choices and build habits that will support you forever. We work within a proven framework that ensures your nutrition is sustainable long term.

We’re Working Ourselves Out of a Job
We’re not here to keep you needing a coach or tracking your food forever. Our objective is to help you achieve your goals and provide you with the tools to continue on your own. We're here to give you the skills, confidence, and understanding to navigate nutrition on your own terms for life.

more about kate

Here's the reality:

Willpower fails.
Rigid rules backfire.

And the “all or nothing” approach to your nutrition keeps you stuck spinning your wheels. I learned this the hard way during my years of chronic dieting. Despite working in fitness since I was 17 and earning my Master's in Public Health, I found myself stuck in the same cycle as my clients — surviving on kale and almonds all week, only to “lose control” every weekend and gorge myself on pizza and candy.

The turning point came when I invested my entire $50 college-student grocery budget in a coach who taught me that sustainable nutrition isn’t about constantly trying to eat less, but about building habits that create more flexibility, not more restriction.

That experience, combined with my graduate training in behavioral science, didn't just change how I ate; it changed my whole relationship with food. It also led me down a path of using my background and education to help others build lasting habits without the extremes, guilt, or constant mental energy that dieting demands.

Since 2015, our team has helped hundreds of clients discover what they're actually looking for: the freedom to enjoy food, fuel their body composition and fitness goals, and trust their body, without the mental burden of food weighing heavy.

You deserve nutrition that works with your life, not against it.
