Meet Karina
Certified Health & Wellness Coach and Yoga Instructor
As a coach, I put the power back in YOUR hands.
Through my curiosity and commitment to living well with Hashimoto’s, I discovered the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in 2020. What began as a desire to better understand my body and improve my energy became a life-changing journey. I didn’t just learn about nutrition and lifestyle tools—I discovered who I am, what truly matters to me, and how to take a stand for my health, boundaries, and joy.
As I move through perimenopause and menopause, I’ve learned the power of listening deeply to our bodies, especially in times of transition. I’ve also experienced the weight of caregiving, the ache of grief, and the healing that comes through consistent, compassionate self-care. These seasons of life have deepened my purpose: to help other women feel seen, supported, and vibrant—no matter where they are on their journey.
For over 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching yoga, co-leading teacher trainings, mentoring students, and managing yoga studios. Now, as an IIN-certified health coach, I’m blending this experience with holistic health coaching to support women in discovering what works uniquely for them—body, mind, and soul.
My husband and I have been adventuring through life together for 25 years and now live in Atlantic Beach, FL, with our two fur babies, Vader and Penny. I love gardening (though I’m still figuring out what thrives in my backyard!), creating vibrant, nourishing meals, and spending time outside—walking trails with my dogs, biking with my husband, strolling the farmers market, or simply relaxing in the sun with a good book and a glass of wine.
As your health coach, I’m here as a supportive mentor and wellness partner. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. I’ll help you tune into what feels good for you—your body, your rhythm, your life. Together, we’ll explore not just food and movement, but the deeper nourishment found in relationships, career, spirituality, and purpose.
You deserve to feel empowered and energized through every season of life—and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
XO, Karina
What People Are Saying
“Karina changed my life as a yoga teacher instructor! Taking her course has given me the opportunity to live my best life EVER and have the relationships and life that I deserve!! She instills strength and having an inner calmness that allows you to get through the ups and downs of life. My favorite mantra of Karina’s is, “You can choose to be right or be happy, and I choose happiness.” As a physician, I have educated many of my patients with what Karina has taught me about living a healthy and happy life. I highly recommend taking one of Karina’s yoga classes and just meeting her and reaching out to her and being in the presence of her positivity and energy!!”

“Karina is the real deal! Not only does she have a heart of gold, she puts her whole heart into everything she does, and you can feel how much she cares. As a yoga teacher and mentor, she acknowledges and invests in her students, and excels at making them find the light within them and shine. I am so grateful to know and learn from Karina. I would not have been able to open my yoga studio without Karina’s support and guidance, and I am definitely a better yoga teacher and all-around human because of her!”
