Karen’s Coaching

"Thank you Karen for a wonderful coaching experience. Your coaching has had a huge impact on my life and business. The business is much stronger now and I feel confident and excited about my branding. I am attracting more clients than before – and they are my perfect clients. The path ahead is clear. You have shown me new ways of approaching situations and your ideas around having clarity about what you want will remain with me as I move forwards. Our final session, when we really focussed on food and my eating patterns, was a revelation. I feel I have achieved a much deeper understanding about my relationship with food and I’m looking forward to the fabulous health and vitality that my new approach will bring me.”

“Coaching with Karen for the past two years has enabled me to move mountains; not only around being raw, but in life generally. Working with a coach who is honest, direct, compassionate and fun has supported me in pulling out all the stops to achieve my goals.”

"If you are making your first faltering steps to raw eating, I would recommend Karen Knowler's coaching sessions. The information I gained in two sessions was more relevant and useful than all the books I'd read previously on the subject. Her gentle and skillful guidance enabled me to make choices appropriate to my personal situation, helped me to formulate my goals, and discover my strengths and weaknesses. If you are serious about pursuing a raw-eating lifestyle, a coaching session with Karen would cut through the jungle of confusion and give you the tools you’ll need to ensure success. Thank you, Karen!" - Andrew, Scotland

"I found Karen Knowler’s personal consultations and raw coaching to be a tremendous help in terms of both practical support and inspiration for the raw lifestyle; coaching extended way beyond food into who I was as a person and helping me define what it was I really wanted in myself. Karen seemed to know intuitively when to encourage on the details and when to get me to rethink my strategies for the broader perspective of a truly healthy life. Her advice really made a difference at a time considerable personal change. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen as a first rate food and lifestyle coach." - William, Spain

“Karen is a mine of raw food knowledge and has the intuitive sensitivity to apply this knowledge to the individual needs of the person she is working with. I am looking forward to a whole new future with Karen's help.” – Angela, UK

“Because I live in Belgium, I had all consultations by phone. But, they really helped and motivated me a lot to start my raw journey. Karen gave me all the support I needed and she was always there for me when I wanted to talk. She gave me a lot of information, tips, but also things people should think about. I even realised that I needed another job, which I have in the mean time! I just want to say: Karen, because of you, my life has changed completely and I have found the job of my dreams!” – Elke, Belgium

“Deciding to take up a coaching package with Karen was the best decision I have ever made. Not only do I have a deeper understanding about the raw food philosophy and the practicalities and benefits of eating raw, Karen’s perception, insight and wisdom has had an impact on every part of my life. Karen has helped me re-evaluate my personal relationships and assisted me in making tough decisions. She has given me sound advice on my working environment and my overall lifestyle. I feel that, in a very short time, I have grown so much as a person that I feel I am living a different life and it feels good! Karen also helped me through a very low period in my life. She did it with compassion, empathy and understanding. I will be eternally grateful.” – Maria, London

"I found the consultation very encouraging. Karen acknowledged how well I was doing in the early stages of transition. It enabled me to feel good about what I was doing and I have been able to let myself off the hook about food like baked potato, or the odd slice of bread, to look at the bigger picture spanning years ahead of me. Also on a practical level her ideas about yummy salad dressings have kept me going all summer!" - Michele, UK

“I found the coaching session with Karen to be an inspiring, eye-opening and extremely fruitful experience. In just the space of half an hour, she enabled me to recognise those obstacles which were preventing me from moving forward in my goals in going raw, and she provided ingenious yet simple and enjoyable ways to overcome those obstacles. I started the session confused, hesitant and annoyed at myself for not being able to give up those things which I loved but I knew were doing untold damage to the body, e.g. drinking coffee. And ever since that session, I have been caffeine-free! I would recommend Karen's coaching to everyone, as she provides very insightful wisdom, and points out things that we at first don't see. Thank you Karen!” – Vanita, UK

“Many thanks for a great session this morning. I got loads of ideas and am very inspired…” – Susie, UK

“I am amazed at the progress I have made after my first coaching session with you. When I spoke to you I felt confused and bewildered about the information I had before me and you helped me to get in touch with my intuitive self and find the answers for myself. Thank you. I had absorbed a whole load of information about healthy raw food healing from books, seminars etc. but I felt that the coaching session with you was more beneficial for me because you worked with me as an individual. After the session I felt more in touch with my real needs and was able to accept myself more. This has affected all aspects of my life.” – Angela, UK

“Thank you so much for all your help and advice yesterday. I felt so inspired and ready to take on the raw food world yesterday afternoon! I bounced home and am still bouncing now! Today I had my first raw food lunch and I loved it. … I can't thank you enough!” - Lesley-Anne, UK

“Karen, it was great to speak to you - you are inspiring and understanding!” – Sarah, UK

“It came as a real surprise that I was pregnant less than 2 months after my miscarriage but I am sure it was very much down to the great path I had been on nutrition-wise since the early part of last year, thanks the kick start from the coaching I had with you. So thank you for being such an inspiration, I'm sure it's what's helped me to get pregnant again so quickly and to have such a healthy pregnancy.” – Sarah, London

“How life changing can 30 minutes be? It doesn't sound like much but after my coaching session with Karen I felt completely revived and ready to take on the raw food world! I felt like a great weight had been taken off my shoulders and that I was capable of anything, watch out world! My plan was to introduce raw food in to my life gradually but I was unsure of what to eat and how I could really bring this in to my life. I needed someone to show me the way forward and Karen certainly did that! We also discussed my hopes and fears about going raw and what I could learn from this to help me through.

All I can say is what an amazing session! I now eat more raw food and really enjoy it. There is no pressure for me to go 100% raw and Karen helped me to see that I don't need to do that in order to gain the benefits. My eating habits used to consist of eating big heavy meals late at night and masses of junk food, if I ate fruit and vegetables 3 times a week I was doing exceptionally well! I now juice every morning and try to have some element of raw food with each meal. I have lost over a stone in weight in the last 2 months and feel great, one of my greatest moment has been taking my "fat" clothes to the clothing bank, these were clothes that fitted me just 2 months ago!

Going raw has also brought me great clarity and I feel so much more alive. It has really helped me to see where I'm going with my life and I what I want to get out of it. Recently I went to Little Earth Cafe in London and had the most amazing lunch with a great friend, a few months ago I would never have dreamed of going out to eat raw food but now I can't wait to go again! Raw food has brought me so much already. I can't wait to see what the next few months hold. Thank you Karen for waking me up and flipping my world upside down, it's been great!” – Lesley-Anne, UK

“I must admit to a degree of scepticism when I signed up for Karen's coaching course, also a little trepidation, after all this was unknown territory. However, my concerns were quickly laid to rest. Karen was warm, friendly and soon made it apparent that she didn't give any "woo, woo", her great phrase, not mine. The three sessions were structured and completely pertinent to my situation, which was great; Karen does not have a set spiel but listens intently to ascertain exactly what it is you need. I felt that she truly cared about my progress. Her passion and knowledge from 'walking the talk' in the raw food movement are, of course, second to none, and although her zeal and enthusiasm are contagious, she readily acknowledges that everyone is truly an individual, whose route towards whole health is also unique. I would recommend Karen as a coach. It felt a privilege to have so much expert knowledge to tap into. Personally, it enabled me to gain some clarity and lots of motivation to move on. Thanks Karen.” – Julia, UK

“Thank you so much for showing me and taking me to a place I’d only have ever dreamed of! More women need to experience what I have! Thank you!! You’re a cracker!” – Laura, Coventry

“Karen was incredibly insightful and had a perception pertaining to the inner Georgia that even my closest friends had not stumbled upon. I felt completely motivated and inspired to implement these changes and only then would my eating patterns normalise and eventually I would have the necessary tools to go raw. Karen does not merely give you a meal plan - she looks inside her client and gives them the foundations - for eating, for life. Since our session I have made many amazing changes to my path - and I have not had one guilt-ridden bingeing session. For the first time in my life I feel in control of my destiny and am embracing this new found freedom. It may sound dramatic - after only one session. But trust me she is worth every penny. You cannot put a price on inner peace, freedom, sense of purpose and true identity.” – Georgia, UK

“When I started this, just 4/5 weeks ago, I was unsure of exactly what to expect, both in terms of coaching and results. I remember filling out an answer on the client questionnaire:

Taking into account your financial investment in your coaching, what 90-day results if achieved would you consider to have a value far in excess of the price paid?

If I quit eating processed foods and had no desire to eat them I would consider this to be a fantastic result.

As I wrote my answer I was half hoping it could happen and half thinking that it would be unachievable. Here I am just weeks later genuinely feeling free from my food problems. I feel that the coaching helped sort out my confusion on the whole subject. I used to wake up each morning worried about what I had eaten the previous day and making renewed promises to be ‘good’ - that I would later break. I had been struggling for years with my eating and now I can stop obsessing about it. I am in the position where I am looking forward to sorting out the rest of my life and I feel able to do that now. For longer than I can remember I was getting panicked, despondent and overwhelmed by everything. It feels like you’ve calmed me down and helped me see things much more clearly. Thanks very much.” – Colleen, Surrey

"Before my session with Karen, I was eating to a set of rules my mind had decided on, influenced by all the things I had read - my way of eating had nothing to do with my body or how I felt and I hated what I was eating. My days were a dose of medicine. In the first minute of our session, Karen pinpointed what was going on for me and then went on to suggest ways I could deal with this, and checking out I felt happy about this and that I understood everything. To be honest in my experience of working with Karen several times, she is so in touch with what is going on for me, that 20 minutes is all it take to spark me off into the changes and healing I am seeking. I noticed changes immediately - now my eating is actually a pleasurable experience! I have given my mind a new job and I now listen to my body and what she wants to eat and how that feels. I have put the books and externals away and I listen to myself; I now have a hundred percent happier relationship with food." - Suzanne, Derbys
