Meet the Team

Your evidence-based nutrition coaches

Our coaches specialize in different goals and seasons of life, but we all coach the same way: evidence-based, behavior-informed, and built on helping you create progress you can maintain.

a bit about us

11+ years helping clients break free from all-or-nothing dieting and build progress they can actually maintain.

We’re not just macro coaches, and this is not just another nutrition program.

With over a decade in the industry and extensive experience, our team brings specialized knowledge in areas from strength and conditioning to women’s health, pre- and post-natal nutrition, menopause, nutrition for ADHD, and behavior change.

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

We don’t coach at you—we coach with you. We build trust from day one, respect your autonomy, and lead with empathy and curiosity. Because when you feel supported (not judged), change gets a whole lot more sustainable.

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 because you're not a set of macros; you’re a human. And we coach you like one.

  • You get a whole team in your corner.

    We’re a collaborative team of experienced, 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,” build habits, and create an approach you can actually maintain long-term.

  • We set you up for success beyond our time together.

    We’re not here to keep you needing a coach or tracking forever. Our goal is to help you reach your goals and leave with the skills, confidence, and tools to navigate nutrition on your own terms for life.
