Kara is one of those people for me.\u00a0 It was during a time of deep personal crisis and turmoil that I found Kara. I knew I wanted to chart a new path in my life\u2019s journey, but did not know how to begin. \u00a0I was depressed, anxious, and hopeless, but desperately wanted to make a change. \u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-7p c1-7q c1-b c1-9t c1-9u c1-9v c1-9w c1-9x\">I did not have the emotional arsenal, nor did I understand my patterns and the process of how to change my response to my circumstances. This is where Kara\u2019s gift lies. \u00a0She helped me develop an arsenal to deal with the joys, the sorrows, relationships, and everyday challenges that one faces in life, as well as transforming my body in the process. The body and mind are very powerful and when they heal simultaneously, it&#8217;s magic. \u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-7p c1-7q c1-b c1-9t c1-9u c1-9v c1-9w c1-9x\">Kara not only dedicated her time and passion to me while in a session, but also followed up with me during the week to track my cardio progress, food intake, and to check in. \u00a0She has written me meal plans, recipes, and cardio workouts. \u00a0She has been by my side through my whole journey and shares in my successes with as much enthusiasm as I do. \u00a0My journey has not always been easy and there have been times I would break, but Kara is always there to lift me up and keep me going.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fa0695c top column-style-top\" data-id=\"fa0695c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f92f317 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f92f317\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-7p c1-7q c1-b c1-9t c1-9u c1-9v c1-9w c1-9x\">Kara has been extremely valuable in helping me identify and build on my strengths.

Kara has been a true blessing in my life, helping me to maintain my balance and embrace my new beginnings. I am a completely new person and no longer cringe when I look in the mirror or fear leaving the house because of her. \u00a0\u00a0I have lost almost 100 pounds and my endurance and physical ability have surpassed my expectations. \u00a0I have never looked or felt better physically and emotionally as I do today. \u00a0Before Kara I would look in the mirror and cry in despair, now I cry tears of happiness and amazement of how much I changed externally and internally. Kara gave me a new life and I am forever grateful.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-104b962 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"104b962\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-2t c1-2u c1-b c1-9o c1-36 c1-33 c1-9p c1-9q\"><strong class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-2t c1-2u c1-b c1-9o c1-36 c1-4h c1-9p\">&#8220;Kara is the perfect combination of strong and kind, and she works with the whole person &#8212; mentally, emotionally and physically. \u00a0I can do things now I would have never dreamed of attempting before my journey with Kara.&#8221; \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22d6759 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22d6759\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>&#8220;~Tara, Age 36 (Kenilworth, NJ) &#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous image Next image Tara&#8217;s Story &#8220;There are people who touch our lives at certain points on our journey. \u00a0Some people enter our lives and we are forever changed and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-14053","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv45.demowebsitelinks.com\/mindbodycounselingfitness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv45.demowebsitelinks.com\/mindbodycounselingfitness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv45.demowebsitelinks.com\/mindbodycounselingfitness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testv45.demowebsitelinks.com\/mindbodycounselingfitness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testv45.demowebsitelinks.com\/mindbodycounselingfitness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14053"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/testv45.demowebsitelinks.com\/mindbodycounselingfitness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14053\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14056,"href":"https:\/\/testv45.demowebsitelinks.com\/mindbodycounselingfitness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14053\/revisions\/14056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv45.demowebsitelinks.com\/mindbodycounselingfitness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
