The Mission

Personalized coaching to help you
feel like yourself again

At Taking Root, I help women tune into their bodies so they can define what healthy and whole looks and feels like for them. Together, we focus on realistic shifts in 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 for 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

Feel like yourself again, more grounded, more energetic, more at ease in your body and life.

Discover what’s possible:

  • Waking up with more energy and a clearer sense of what you need each day
  • Feeling calmer and more steady in your body, even when life feels full
  • Trusting yourself to make choices that support your health without needing another 'fix'
  • Moving through your day with more energy and fewer hangry crashes
  • Understanding how stress, hormones, sleep, and food are affecting you - and what small shifts could actually help
  • Navigating a big life/body transition with support instead of feeling like you have to figure it out alone
  • Finally finding an approach that respects your intuition, your schedule, and your values
I'm Ready

Your best self  isn’t somewhere out there over the horizon, it’s already inside you waiting to be revealed. Together, we'll help that version of you show up more often in everyday life.

The Approach

As a board-certified health and wellness coach, I blend evidence-informed lifestyle coaching with intuitive practices 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.

The Signature Method

01 explore

Let curiosity guide an honest look at all the factors in your life that are impacting your health: stress, sleep, food, movement, relationships, and more. Together, we’ll clarify what matters most to you right now and identify a few places where small changes could make a real difference.

02 integrate

Begin experimenting with small realistic shifts in how you eat, move, rest, and care for yourself. You’ll receive personalized support, encouragement, resources, and accountability as you notice what helps, adjust when life happens, and build habits that feel sustainable.

03 renew

Notice how your efforts begin to renew your energy, confidence, and sense of self. As your new habits take root, you may feel more resilient in the face of stress and more able to show up for yourself and the people you care about in a way that feels grounded and true to you.

About Kate

Guiding your journey to lasting health and happiness

I’ve been interested in health and wellness for as long as I can remember. As a teen, I focused on nutrition to support sports. In college, I majored in dietetics because it let me combine two things I loved most: food and movement.

Even with “healthy habits” and a lot of information, my own health was far from perfect. Throughout my 20s and 30s, I dealt with gut issues, thyroid disease, and infertility related to hormonal imbalance. My diet was healthy on paper, but it wasn’t right for me. Beginning to really listen to my body and the context of my life changed everything about how I think about health.

Since then, I’ve continued to learn, unlearn, and relearn. There have been seasons where I felt strong and steady in my routines, and seasons where stress, caregiving, grief, and big transitions made it hard to live the way I wanted. Losing some of my own practices for a time humbled me and deepened my respect for how complex real life can be. It also gave me even more empathy for the women I work with.

Today, as a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach with a background in dietetics and experience in healthcare, I bring both professional training and lived experience to our work together. I don’t promise perfection or quick fixes. Instead, I offer a grounded space to sort through what’s going on, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and experiment with small, realistic shifts that fit this season of your life. My greatest joy is watching women remember that they already carry so much wisdom about their bodies—and seeing them feel more like themselves again.

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 is someone who will meet you where you are and help enhance your life.

"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."

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
