Veteran

Hello, my name is Kara, and I am a proud Navy veteran who has dedicated my life to promoting health and fitness. My journey began long before my military service; it was fueled by personal experiences, particularly watching my mother struggle with health issues and navigate a maze of doctors without clear answers. This experience ignited a passion within me to understand the power of nutrition and movement. I pursued education in holistic health and wellness and pursued certification in fitness nutrition, aiming to not only help my mom but also educate others on how simple lifestyle changes can lead to better health and well-being.

Seeking personal growth and a challenge that would push me far beyond my comfort zone, I joined the Navy as a Master-at-Arms. My time in service reinforced my belief in the importance of perseverance, resilience, and being prepared for anything. As I transitioned into military life, I became a Command Fitness Leader, where I trained over 150 sailors while integrating my nutrition knowledge into their fitness regimens. I believe that in demanding fields like the military, it's crucial to be not just physically fit but also healthy enough to perform at your best for many years to come, in all stages of life.

Empowering

Beyond fitness and nutrition, I am an enthusiast about women educating themselves regarding self-defense, our 2A rights and gun safety. Strength—both mental and physical—is a necessity in today's world, and my mission is to empower military personnel, veterans, and anyone seeking to improve their quality of life through a holistic approach to fitness that promotes longevity, nutrition, and preparedness. Knowing that I can make a difference in someone’s journey—whether it’s through education, training, or simply leading by example—is what fuels my fire every single day.
