Hey There
I'm Karlee, a Certified Health Coach dedicated to helping women eliminate bloat and feel their best without restrictive measures. Drawing from my own five-year battle with digestive challenges, I intimately understand the struggles you may be facing — from chronic bloating to constipation, diarrhea, and food sensitivities. I've experienced it all.
My Story
Fun fact: bloating is what kickstarted my personal health journey. I transformed from the carefree, eat-anything-and-stay-slim girl to suddenly resembling someone expecting twins in a few weeks. The shift in my body happened overnight, or at least that's how it seemed.
​
Reflecting on it now, I can easily recognize the warning signs my body sent before it settled into permanent balloon mode. However, at that time, I was completely oblivious. Shortly after the bloating made its debut and stuck around for a solid five years, I began having intense reactions to my favourite foods. Most meals were followed by agonizing gut pain and an awkward sprint to the closest washroom. This routine continued for months until I finally decided it was time to get my act together.
​
I kicked off my journey by cleaning up my horrific diet. Throughout my university years, my menu was pretty much dominated by vodka Sunny D, pizza, Harvey's, and cheesecake – not exactly a nutritious lineup. Needless to say, my body wasn't thrilled with my choices. However, the positive changes in how I felt when I started eating better were almost instant. That boost in well-being motivated me to keep going.
​
Gradually, I began adapting healthier habits, and to my surprise, symptoms I hadn't even recognized as symptoms began to fade away. Seasonal allergies? Poof, gone. Recurring UTIs and throat infections? Sayonara. I used to trek to the doctor's office several times each year, getting antibiotics handed to me without anyone digging into the root causes of my issues. I began to realize how wrong that was, and decided to start educating myself on the complexities of the gut.

As my knowledge about gut health expanded, so did my passion to assist others. Despite consulting numerous doctors and specialists about my persistent bloating, none could provide a solution. It turned out I had to take matters into my own hands. Experiencing the best version of myself now, I'm eager to extend a helping hand to you!
​
My mission is to help women eliminate bloat without feeling restricted.
You deserve to feel like the beautiful badass woman that you are, and I'm going to help you get that feeling back!

These skills come in handy when assessing your health data, setting measurable goals, and tailoring evidence-based strategies for optimal well-being. Together, these qualities empower me to guide you with a holistic and individualized approach towards achieving your health and wellness goals.
