I would highly recommend Karen Simpson to anyone working through struggles with nutrition. Karen has helped me to create strategies and goals each week and always starts out sessions asking what my “wins” were for the week. She is flexible, punctual and very positive. We come up with realistic goals together to work through my eating disorder. Again, I would absolutely recommend Karen Simpson as a nutritionist!

Even from the beginning, when Karen stopped her bike ride to pick up the phone and take me as a client she has always done the most for me whenever she could. She has helped me so much to change my lifestyle and reduce my symptoms dramatically. I live a much happier and healthier lifestyle since working with her.

Karen listens to my needs and helps build a individualized program specifically for me. I have been at this game a long time. Others have just handed me dittos and didn't care if I didn't eat certain foods. They haven't listened to my needs. Karen loves what she does and takes the time to get to know her patients. Karen is extremely upbeat and very positive ,you can't help but fall in love with her. She also takes great notes and will remind me of meals I have worked for me in the
past and mantras that have helped me. I really believe she is routing for me and helps me above and beyond any other Healthcare professional I have worked with in the past 40 years. She is a blessing. I could not have reached this point in my health care journey without her.

I highly recommend Karen Simpson. She is incredibly professional, caring, patient, and kind. Karen genuinely cares for her patients' needs, and she has been instrumental in helping me achieve not only my physical goals but also my emotional and spiritual aspirations. She treats the "whole" person rather than just addressing one aspect.
If you or anyone you know is struggling with the dieting yo-yo cycle, I encourage you to reach out to Karen. She truly treats "all of you."
