Reclaim your life by taking control of your health

I'm Ready


The Mission

Personalized coaching to help you feel like yourself again

At Taking Root, I help women tune into their own bodies so they can define what healthy and whole looks like for them. Together, we focus on realistic shifts in daily life—how you eat, move, rest, and care for yourself—so your habits start to reflect the life you actually want to be living. My mission is to offer clear, compassionate support while you build sustainable change from the inside out.

Does This Sound Like You?
You’ve always cared about your health, but life got really full

You’re juggling work, family, and responsibilities, and the habits that used to feel easy, now feel hard to sustain. You miss feeling grounded, energized, and like yourself.

You're navigating a big transition in your body or your life

Maybe it’s perimenopause, a demanding new season at work, caregiving, an emptying nest, or recovery after a health scare. You can feel that what used to work for you…doesn’t quite fit anymore.

You want a more sustainable, aligned way to care about yourself

You’ve tried the willpower/fix‑it route, and now you’re ready for a more thoughtful approach that honors your values, your season of life, and your real‑world constraints.

Imagine if you could

Transform your life beginning with your health

Everything you want to achieve in life is possible when building on a foundation of good health. You’ll soon discover that small, consistent behavioral shifts produce dramatic improvements that last.

Discover what’s possible:

  • Gain comprehensive insight into your overall well-being through advanced functional medicine diagnostics
  • Create a personalized wellness strategy tailored to your individual health profile
  • Manage and potentially reverse autoimmune and chronic conditions through lifestyle change
  • Thrive through the peri-menopause transition
  • Improve biometrics and body composition
  • Increase energy and productivity
  • Improve time and stress management
  • Develop a deeper awareness of the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and mental health
I'm Ready

Your best self  isn’t somewhere out there over the horizon, it’s already inside you waiting to be revealed.

The Approach

As a board-certified health and wellness coach, I blend evidence-informed lifestyle coaching with intuitive practices and Reiki to support the whole you—body, mind, and spirit. Rather than handing you a rigid plan, I help you listen deeply to your own body, clarify what you need in this season of life, and experiment with small, realistic shifts in how you eat, move, rest, and care for yourself. My role is to walk alongside you as a steady, compassionate guide while you do the inner and outer work of creating a life that feels nourishing and true.

About Kate

Guiding your journey to lasting health and happiness

I’ve been on a holistic health and wellness journey my entire life. As a teen, I focused on nutrition to optimize athletic performance. In college, I majored in dietetics with a focus on health and fitness because it fused the two things I loved most – food and movement. But despite great habits and amassed knowledge, my health was far from optimal. Throughout my 20’s and 30’s, I struggled with gut dysfunction, thyroid disease, and infertility caused by hormonal imbalance. My diet was healthy, it just wasn’t right for me. This shift in awareness changed everything.

My journey back to balance meant exploring the roots of dysfunction and removing inflammatory triggers. A mindfulness practice changed my relationship with stress, further enhancing well-being. Slowly and naturally my body healed resulting in incredible energy, optimal gut health, reduced thyroid medication, and miraculously, the birth of my two kids.

More than a decade later, my lifestyle feels like holistic well-being. Combining a B.S. in dietetics, certification in integrative nutrition, board certification in health and wellness coaching, and a successful career coaching high-performance teams in the pharmaceutical industry, I passionately support women as they become their healthiest, most vibrant selves.

Client Results

I was looking for support around diet and nutrition, but I got so much more!

"I connected with Kate for support around my diet and nutrition, but I walked away with so much more! Kate gave me the tools and understanding to take a thoughtful approach to the foods I was eating and my sleep, exercise, and overall wellness — even my spiritual practice and hobbies. Thank you, Kate! You truly are "Kate the Great!"
— Kim Marsh, Regional account Director

"Kate helped me transform my thoughts around health and wellness using the most holistic approach. She was my go-to person for reliable, evidence-based information about how to make realistic, small, sustainable changes. If there is a person out there who will meet you where you are and help you enhance your life, it is Kate. I highly recommend working with her if you are looking for long-lasting change and are ready to do the work."
— Colleen Roach, Registered Nurse

My life is completely changed because my health has completely changed.

"For as long as I can remember I have suffered from stomach issues and have always told myself it was normal. It all came to a head last year when everything I ate hurt. Kate was there to help me when I needed it most. She walked me through how simple I could make things and how nourishing myself, not depriving myself, was going to be the key to my best self. Kate helped me recognize patterns that were no longer working for me. My life is completely changed because my health has completely changed. Kate was my accountability partner in every area of life. Without her, I have no idea where I would be."
— Erin Horst, Business Owner

I was impressed with Kate's par excellence, professionalism, intellect, and sincere dedication to her clients' well-being.

"I sought out Kate's help after an annual physical where my doctor indicated my blood results were good, but I needed to lower my weight or be subject to serious health issues. As a result of working with her, I lowered my weight by 8lbs over 3 months. Undeniably, I was impressed with Kate's par excellence, professionalism, intellect, and sincere dedication to her clients' wellbeing. She demonstrates a keen ability to relate to clients, articulate technical data in clear language, and bring her clients to a higher level of personal responsibility. I ardently recommend Kate to any prospective person seeking assistance!
— Michael Marsh, Financial Advisor

I literally don’t remember when I ever felt so good!

"I had tried everything I could think of to feel better including every kind of Western medicine and a couple of non-traditional therapies. Sometimes I had hope I was improving but ultimately nothing stuck and I had given up on ever feeling genuinely good. A friend told me about Kate so I was prepared to give her a chance. I was not prepared for the genuine and lasting effect Kate’s guidance, advice, and care would have on my immediate symptoms and my overall health. One of the nicest and most insightful people I’ve ever met and without a doubt the most inspirational, positive, and effective person I have ever met in healthcare. I can’t recommend Kate highly enough, I literally don’t remember when I ever felt so good!"
— Grace Morris, Writer

I’m honestly blown away by the changes I’ve seen in my body and in my outlook.

"I came to Kate at a low point in my life. My energy was scattered and I felt unmotivated and out of whack. I’ve always known the importance of nutrition and fitness but Kate helped me see an even bigger picture. She’s an intelligent and mindful coach. Since working with her, my balance has been restored and I feel genuinely happier being accountable to myself. I’m honestly blown away by the changes I’ve seen in my body and in my outlook. I’m so grateful to her."
— Sara T, Fitness Instructor

I have become a better person for those around me personally and professionally.

"Kate helped me become aware of how diet and exercise impacts my outlook on day-to-day activities. She also introduced me to mindfulness and guided concepts of it into my professional and personal life. This has helped me tremendously with productivity at work and presence with my family. Kate is a genuine person who practices what she coaches and maintains a personalized approach to my needs. She provides a safe space without judgment while highlighting personal accountability."
— MKR, Sales Leader

Kate helped me prioritize and organize what was most useful. I'm so grateful to have this tool in my toolbox

"I had heard wonderful things about Kate and her practice through a good friend. As I have come upon perimenopause, I felt so stuck, so I took the leap and joined her. Ever since I became a nurse, stress and life provided challenges. I have a good foundation of exercise and nutrition so wanted to employ all the health hacks, but I became overwhelmed and stuck. Kate helped me prioritize and organize what was most useful. I plan to continue with Kate for years to come. I'm so grateful to have this tool in my toolbox. "
—Michelle Young, Registered Nurse
