Years Of Coaching

If you’re ready to lose weight, regain control of your body, and break free of the diet cycle, you’ve come to the right place.

I am a registered dietitian, health writer, and former professional triathlete who loves helping busy clients just like you live healthier and happier lives. Over the last 20 years in the wellness space, I’ve been lucky to help thousands of women learn to work with (not against!) their bodies to accomplish BOLD goals–everything from overcoming chronic fatigue to 90 lb weight loss.

I’ve been in your shoes.

For most of my twenties and early thirties, I was in a tug-of-war with my body. Eating less, exercising more, obsessed with food rules…And, to be honest, it wasn’t even working. I felt constantly deprived YET gaining weight. Worst of all, I was absolutely exhausted and it required way too much mental energy.

I knew there had to be a better way, and I set out to find it. After completing a degree in Human Biology at Stanford University, I went into a deep dive, earning Master’s degrees in both health behavior change and nutrition. Through plenty of schooling and self-experimentation, I gradually unlocked the keys to discovering freedom around food and making healthy eating effortless. I have a passion for translating evidence-based research into relatable science that has helped hundreds of women look–and MOST importantly– feel their best.

Clients love working with me. But you don’t have to just take my work for it.

Sara L.

“Since I began working with Katya, physically I have transformed my body, I have different muscles in my arms and legs that I didn’t have before, I’ve lost about 25 pounds so my face is skinnier but looks happier and healthier. Mentally, I know I’m stronger, but creating the best version of me has felt easy”

Jame B.

“I realized I have made a lifestyle change. It isn’t one thing, everything is connected. I’m more conscious about what I eat, but I no longer have the same cravings. I do things only with purpose and that I’m passionate about, I take time to self-love, I am more focused on what I want for me and my family… I am the new girl in the mirror!”

Suzanne E.

“73 pounds down today. It feels awesome and it feels like I’m unstoppable. I have a long way to go still. I want to lose 50-60 more pounds, but I have done something I wasn’t sure I could do… 2018 felt like a dress rehearsal. 2019 is for finding new challenges, setting bigger goals, and mastering endurance.”

Karen S.

“Since working with Katya, I have lost extra weight, but gained so much more…a freedom from stressing about what to eat, because I now WANT to fuel with healthy foods. I love that I understand how what I eat affects my hormones, and also what to do about it. I feel more in control now than I did in my 20’s and 30’s, but not controlled by endless food rules.”
