making healthy feel good

 

“I am essentially reclaiming my life.”

— A.F.

 

before & after

 

ugh I eat well and workout and nothing is changing
›› my reflection finally feels like me

ugh I don’t know if I’m on the right track
›› I move like it’s working and course correct along the way

ugh I’m tired of being tired
›› I spend time with who and what gives me energy

ugh why does my body feel like this
›› what is my body trying to tell me?

ugh I have so far to go to reach my goal
›› I make the journey feel just as delicious

ugh I can’t believe they did that to me
›› how do I make this work in my favor?

ugh I don’t want to work out today
›› how does my body want to move today?

ugh I hate having to do this
›› how fun and easy can I make this?

ugh is this good enough? will they like it?
›› do I like it?

ugh why does this keep happening…
›› what is this teaching me?

ugh I don't want to get hurt again
›› I stay open because I know how to protect my peace

ugh I don’t even know where to start
›› what's one tiny step I could take today?

 

health check-in

 
here's what came up

This is a snapshot, not a verdict. Often a shift in one area ripples through all of them. This is the work we do.

Wherever you are is valid.
If you want support, I'm here.

start over
 
 

These days, health to me looks a little more like…

Dressing up. Flirting. Ordering exactly what you want. Slowing down to take pictures of flowers. Dancing in the kitchen with a ride-or-die girlfriend. Making something beautiful without wondering if it’s good. Singing while doing your makeup. Taking the long way home.

More pleasure, less pressure.

Being a little messy and a lot alive.

Welcome to the makeover.

health is how we get there

health is how we get there ✦


✦ SAFETY

Your relationships, your home, your finances—we look at what’s missing to create a sense of emotional safety that no amount of good food or workouts can replace.

From there, we strengthen the scaffolding that makes everything else flow—nutrition, movement, sleep.


 

✦ PLEASURE

Delicious meals. A yoga mat in your favorite shade of pink. Natural light. Fresh flowers. Clean sheets. Your favorite perfume. Dancing naked in front of the mirror.

Pleasure isn’t the reward—it’s the strategy. We look at where we can sprinkle more of it onto your day to day.


✦ RHYTHM

Living, moving, eating according to your own nature and rhythm—in a noisy world that expects machine-like productivity.

We find where there’s more space to flow and trust yourself.


 

✦ ALIVENESS

Feeling lit up from the inside. Doing what you love, your way.

Being fully yourself—even if it ruffles some feathers.

We make more room for you to be you.

how it works

A single 75-minute session, or 3 months of weekly calls with voice/text support in between.

✦ A shared doc from every call—so you always know what to focus on, and can come back to it anytime

✦ A personalized macronutrient-based meal plan (optional)

✦ We can go deep on one area or all four—support, pleasure, flow, creativity. Take the quiz if you’re not sure where to start.

✦ Sometimes a session is just space to breathe. No agenda, no figuring anything out.

I'm Kia—a coach, software engineer, and creative living in New York City.

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients since becoming a certified nutrition coach 9 years ago. I’ve learned that health is about so much more than nutrition and exercise.

Back in 2022, I was feeling stuck and asked the universe to show me my next level.

1 week later, my best friend broke up with me over email.

2 weeks later, I sat by my favorite singer-songwriter on a flight out of Nashville.

3 months later, I left an abusive relationship and moved from Texas to California the next day, feeling like a shell of myself…

6 months later, I went back to a 9-5 as a software engineer, after 5 years working full-time as a nutrition coach. Though it looked like a step back, it was the most loving thing I could do for myself.

9 months later, I moved to New York City—somewhere I’d never expected to live.

Rebuilding here after losing trust with yourself is its own kind of work.

With a background in competitive CrossFit, bodybuilding, and engineering, I was used to linear paths—and to believing I could push, optimize, and think my way through everything, even healing. Doing felt easy. Being was a different story.

Outgrowing your old life might look messy before it looks beautiful.

But what’s on the other side is more of you. And that’s what healthy looks like to me. :)
