Karla Salinari

Karla Salinari is a Holistic Health Coach based in Brooklyn NY. Her experience with pregnancy opened her eyes to the importance of nutrition. After gaining 82 pounds while carrying her daughter, she began to explore new avenues to better nourish herself and her family. Karla began by replacing the unhealthy aspects of her diet with whole foods and higher-quality ingredients. The results were healthier body weight, a better relationship with food, and a happier outlook on life.

Karla’s story starts when she was pregnant with her daughter. There was never a balance between herself and food, and she knew she needed to cultivate a healthy relationship with food. It was during that time that she decided she wanted to enroll in nutrition school, and learn how to be better at healing her relationship with food and setting a good example for her daughter. It was during this time that she had so many “aha!” moments. She learned the importance of understanding we make food choices based on unhealed traumas and emotional impulses, and she knew she needed to share this message with her community. As Karla shares, in her culture there’s a disconnect between health and nutrition, and it’s been her mission to share her insights and guidance to help as many people as she could to learn to love their bodies. As Karla shares, food is medicine and it has the power to heal us from the inside out.
