TESTIMONIALS
"I began coaching with Carrie during the hectic holiday season. The sessions served as a crucial reminder to slow down and prioritize my own needs while juggling the demands of caring for everyone else. Carrie’s guidance helped me maintain balance during an incredibly busy time, allowing me to focus on my well-being amidst the chaos.
Working with Carrie was both helpful and insightful. I appreciated her ability to help me set achievable goals, even when life felt overwhelming. At a time when I was resistant to goal setting due to a packed schedule, she guided me in prioritizing what truly mattered. Carrie excelled at meeting me where I was and providing the support I needed to move forward."
"One of the biggest outcomes was halting my weight gain trajectory and even losing a bit of weight during Christmas—a time when many struggle to maintain their health. Carrie’s coaching helped me stay on track and make positive changes despite the seasonal challenges."
"I’ve learned that I can be resistant to external accountability, but with the right support, I can still make meaningful progress. This process has been eye-opening in understanding how to better engage with coaching and accountability."
"I would recommend Carrie to anyone ready to take charge of their life and health. Her coaching is grounded in personal experience and a genuine commitment to her clients. Her impressive personal discipline translates into teaching others how to develop their own self-discipline and commitment to their well-being."

“I am a mom of 6, working full time. I have always been on the healthy side (skinny, not in shape) of the social spectrum. I had reached my goal weight after having had my 6th baby in April 2024. But in losing that weight, my butt had disappeared, so I knew I needed to work out to look the way I wanted. I am still moving forward. In fact, I am sore today from a leg workout 2 days ago (only 10 mins, but still!) and I did an upper body workout this morning (another 10 mins BEFORE WORK!). I have always been pretty conscious of eating well but still have a lot of processed food in my diet. I have dived into the rabbit-hole of real food since our coaching, driven by talk of addiction and processed foods within our sessions."
"You were very thorough and great with follow up."
"I was able to be more intentional with my space, time and choices."
"I thought I wanted to start with working out as a goal, since I had already reached my goal weight at the time but realized that goals shift and change depending on barriers that come up. The overall goal has been the same, but the insight that the road to get there would be windy out of necessity (not because I'm lazy, or any lack of motivation on my part) was a new realization."
"Anyone who wants to think critically about their health and choices would benefit from a Nurse Coach. Thanks for making me think and opening doors that I didn't know were closed in my mind.”

“Before working with Carrie, I was trying to get pregnant and working to naturally decrease a specific elevated hormone due to a medical condition, which elevated can make getting pregnant difficult. I felt I had used all of my resources and options; I was willing to try anything. Carrie’s experience with Keto and glucose control was a great support and encouragement in making the dietary changes I did. Her genuine curiosity in my condition made me grateful to have her on my team. Since working together, I embraced the courage to purchase a continuous glucose monitor to have data on my dietary habits and how the changes I was making affected it. Since the dietary changes I have lost 10lbs in a month, my clothes fit better, my energy is more consistent, cravings for sweet are nonexistent, my fasting insulin level was cut in half AND my hormone levels dropped by 200 points, and I only have 100 points to my goal level. I am amazed at the progress I have made and so grateful for Carrie’s support."
"Carrie was always an encouraging spirit and helped me focus on what my changes should be for ME. Carrie is so easy to talk to and is a great listener."
"Despite being curious about Keto during our first session, I had a lot of learning about it to do and was very hesitant of starting. I learned that I can make the changes at my own pace and make dietary adjustments that fit my ideology with food while still meeting my goals, and when it’s my choice I am more apt to stick with it and deep dive and fully commit. I am so grateful I did."
"I would recommend coaching with Carrie to anyone who is wanting to support their metabolism/ optimizing their metabolic health through balancing their blood sugar and improve their whole wellbeing. Carrie is a great support and resource."
"I am so very very grateful for our time together and I hope soon I am telling her I am pregnant! Fingers crossed! Thank you for helping me create sustainable dietary changes for my health and fertility."
So grateful for you!! I enjoyed our time together so much!”

I appreciated her flexibility with scheduling, which made it easy to stay consistent even with a busy calendar. Most of all, her honesty and transparency created a safe and supportive space for meaningful reflection and growth. I’m incredibly grateful for her partnership on this journey.”

“Before your coaching sessions, I was completely consumed by work, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about my future. Since we started working together, I’ve gained a new perspective, learning to step back, set clearer goals, and approach my career with more confidence. Our sessions have helped me regain balance, reduce stress, and develop a more focused and intentional mindset about my professional growth. I feel more empowered and in control of my path forward."
"My experience working with you was positive. You made me feel comfortable and at ease from the very beginning, creating a space where I could openly share my thoughts and concerns. Our coaching sessions felt almost therapeutic—you truly listened, provided insightful guidance, and helped me navigate my challenges with clarity and confidence. What I liked most about our coaching relationship was your ability to support me without judgment."
"Through your coaching, I learned how to manage stress more effectively and set weekly goals that keep me focused and motivated. I also learned the importance of celebrating my progress, no matter how small, which has helped me stay positive and encouraged along the way."
"Through this process, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how to manage stress, set realistic goals, and celebrate progress along the way. I’ve also learned to be more mindful of my thoughts, focus on what I can control, and approach challenges with a more positive and balanced mindset.”

“Before I started working with Carrie, my life felt like a nonstop whirlwind. Between juggling two kids, managing their school and extracurricular schedules, working, overseeing a youth softball league, and keeping everything at home running smoothly, I was constantly on the go. It was so easy to put my own needs on the back burner—especially when it came to making healthy choices with food and self-care."
"Our coaching sessions truly helped me pause and refocus. Carrie created a space where I felt heard, understood, and supported. She reminded me that prioritizing myself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. Her empathy and guidance helped me shift my mindset, allowing me to give myself grace instead of guilt. I’ve become more intentional with my choices, both physically and mentally, and I feel more balanced overall."
"Working with Carrie has been a game-changer in helping me reconnect with myself while still showing up for everyone else in my life. I'm not perfect, but I’m now moving forward with more awareness, confidence, and compassion for myself."
"Working with Carrie was such a positive and grounding experience. She created a space where I felt comfortable, seen, and never judged. What I appreciated most was how she listened with empathy and asked thoughtful questions that helped me dig deeper. She always met me where I was, whether I felt overwhelmed, stuck, or motivated. It felt more like a partnership than anything else—and that made all the difference."
"Through our coaching sessions, I learned how to slow down and be more mindful of my choices—especially when it came to nutrition and self-care. I started making decisions from a place of intention rather than autopilot. I’ve become more consistent with my healthy habits, and I feel more in control of my day-to-day routines. One of the biggest shifts has been learning to give myself grace instead of guilt, which has made a huge difference in my overall mindset and well-being."
"One of the most powerful insights I’ve gained is that taking care of myself doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Small steps count. I’ve also realized that my worth isn’t tied to how productive I am or how much I do for others. It’s okay to set boundaries and make space for rest, nourishment, and joy. That shift in perspective has been really empowering."
"I would recommend your coaching to anyone who feels like they’re constantly taking care of everything and everyone else—but forgetting to care for themselves. Especially busy parents, working professionals, or anyone in a season of life where they feel stretched thin. Your approach is kind, thoughtful, and truly life-giving for anyone looking to reconnect with themselves, create healthier habits, and find more balance.”

“Before working with Carrie, I was overwhelmed by stress and emotionally drained. I had little motivation to move my body or make healthy choices, and it felt like I was stuck. Through her compassionate coaching, I began to feel more grounded and supported. Carrie helped me reconnect with myself and take small, manageable steps that felt empowering. Now, I’m making healthier choices from a place of care, not pressure—and it’s made a real difference in how I feel day to day."
"I truly enjoyed working with Carrie. She listened with care and presence, creating a space where I felt heard and supported. What I appreciated most was how she helped me reflect deeply guiding me to see how the very things that once weighed me down could actually become the steppingstones to move forward."
"Working together gave me space to breathe again. I started showing up for myself in ways I hadn’t in a long time—things as simple as moving my body, choosing rest without guilt, and listening to what I really needed. I began to feel more present, less overwhelmed, and more grounded in who I am and how I want to live."
"I’ve learned that change doesn’t have to be big or dramatic to be meaningful. The soft shifts—the ones that start with awareness and self-compassion—are often the ones that last. I realized I don’t have to fix everything all at once. I can take small, gentle steps that honor where I am, and that’s more than enough."
"Anyone looking for that internal and external balance in life with a holistic approach.”

"Working with Carrie has opened my eyes and health to a whole new world. I was stuck in the same routine of counting macros, which was no longer working for me as I had gained almost 20 pounds in the last 2 years & was feeling sluggish & defeated. She helped me decide on a sustainable "diet" path that has helped me lose 12 pounds in 3 months and given me the tools to continue for life. Her knowledge and ability to not "judge" me at all - only offer assistance - has been the key to my success. I highly recommend Carrie!!"
