Although she comes in a petite, five-foot-tall package, Karla has a powerful and passionate voice.  Early on in her journey, Karla faced her own wellness challenges, battling an eating disorder that arose from an imbalanced lifestyle & an unhealthy body image. During her healing journey, she was able to transform her life through the power of holistic nutrition and the empowering support she received from her very own life coach. She is proud to be a walking, healthy billboard for what she preaches. 

Karla is also a guest lecturer for the Life Skills Veterans Program at the University of Pennsylvania, a Steering Committee member of the South Jersey Wellness Council and a popular wellness presenter for non-profit organizations and community members.
