About Karen Louise

About Karen Louise

Karen Louise is a Nutrition Therapist and Certified Intuitive Eating Coach with a background in both nutrition science and psychology.

I will guide people to find their own philosophy of eating which results in freedom and empowerment around food and weight issues. I consider myself an “anti-diet” dietitian, and my orientation is grounded in the Health-at-Every-Size movement, Mindfulness and Intuitive eating. I am currently doing my Body Trust Certification.

I am also certified as a Natural Chef, offering personal chef services for those with special dietary needs and health conditions that require therapeutic foods and diets to heal and promote wellness. I also cook for families and individuals who want simple, healthy home-cooked meals with no dietary restrictions.

I help people to reclaim their birth right to enjoy food and eating without having to ever go on a diet again. Without having to feel guilty for eating and without having to apologize for taking up space in the world. Your body is not an apology.

I treat all forms of disordered eating, clinical eating disorders as well as preventative and general nutrition issues.

Also, important to note that my intention is to provide a safe space for all people, all shapes and sizes, all ages, all faiths, all genders, all ethnicities/race and sexual orientations. I want to model an inclusive space for everyone I work with to feel safe, seen and heard.

It’s important for me to acknowledge my many privileges, including my body size, my skin color, my educational background, my sexual orientation, my gender identity (she/her), and my class in society. It is a privilege to teach and practice intuitive eating.

In my personal and professional life, I am a seeker of truth and am always learning and unlearning in hope of growing and expanding in my awareness and consciousness.

After having a pandemic baby, my practice is now 100% virtual. I am based in Napa, California but see folks all over the world.
