Warm, thoughtful, and caring, Carmen knows the dedication it takes to be fully recovered.

  Prior to becoming a recovery coach, Carmen was an athlete, a professional chef, and most recently became a mother – something she thought would never be possible for her.  

Something Carmen holds a great deal of gratitude for, is the people who held space and hope for her when she was struggling.  In turn, Carmen’s trademark as a coach is that she holds space and hope for her clients, even when they don’t hold it for themselves.

In her spare time, Carmen is a keen paddle boarder and values time spent with friends and family.

Loyal, honest and a quirky sense of humor, Caryn has been an athlete since the age of 4. She worked as a counselor and mentor in Substance abuse treatment for 10 years before coming into eating disorder recovery Coaching.

She knows the importance of meeting a client where they are at, yet encouraging them to challenge themselves, as that is what was so important in her own recovery.

She believes that strong, supportive relationships are key to getting better and the only people who don’t recover, are the ones who stop trying.

‘All heart’ are the words that spring to mind when trying to describe Lori.  The only way she knows how to be, is all in, compassionate, and never gives up.  Ever.

With a fierce zest for life, Lori walks her talk when she says, ‘Know who you are beyond the temporary labels, because everything is temporary besides your soul.’  

In 2015 Lori was in a dirt bike accident which for a year, left her out of work, needing 5 surgeries, and having to learn how to walk again.

Not once did she reach out to the shadows of a past eating disorder, because she was reaching in for her inner strength and wisdom – the very qualities that shine through so strongly in her Coaching.

Having Lori on your team means you have unwavering support and someone who has been to the depths and back...willing to show you the way forward.
