I first began to see Karina some 5 years ago and during that time she has helped me with inflammation, muscle tension, digestive issues, hormonal issues and finally with weight management. She was first my Naturopath and now she has become a colleague and a friend. Karina is a healer! She has extensive experience, knowledge and so many tools and just as importantly, she has the empathy, insight and intuitive approach that is often vital in correctly diagnosing her clients complaints. This skill cant be bought or taught! I am so grateful to have found her and I thoroughly recommend Karina to anyone who is a serious about their physical health and looking for alternative therapies, especially if traditional medicine is failing you at the moment as it did me all those years ago.
Thank you Michelle Scott
I am over the moon with my program with Karina. I am back on track, feel alive again and have lost almost 10kg. I love how Karina tailored my program to meet my needs. I feel like she is my fairy godmother of nutrition and medicine. Thanks Karina for all your love, support and faith. xxxx
Thank you - Margaret Iaonnidis
On Monday the 9 th of December I was diagnosed with breast cancer and it has been a life changing journey. Karina has been a very important part of my journey with cancer during the last 7 months on all levels. A lot of dietary changes were made, increasing and introducing new supplements and the building of my immune system, which has helped me to recover from 3 operations within 4 months.
I cannot think of anyone who surpasses her wealth of knowledge, care and concern and continued interest in finding the best remedies and treatments for whatever ails a person. Her knowledge and expertise in the field of naturopathy, nutrition and holistic counselling is simply outstanding.
I am truly blessed that I have been able to share this journey with you Karina; it is very hard to find the right words to express how grateful I am. Thank you.

After being treated by Karina I can honestly say that EVERY single health issue is completely GONE and I am half way to achieving my ideal weight!! Karina opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking and living. Im now in my forties and have never felt this healthy or happy ever. I know it sounds like a clich but Karina really did change my life and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Thank you Natasha Zervass
We saw immediate improvement for Briannas thyroid problem when we followed the treatment Karina had recommend for her. Karina provided us with information, lists and recipes that Brianna could eat and tailored a plan just for her. It is 10 months since my daughter saw Karina and she is a completely different child; her health has improved immensely, her thyroid is no longer swollen which has resulted in her losing the weight around her middle, she has not been sick, has the energy to train and play basketball 5 times a week and is a happy and confident teenager.
Not a day goes by that I am not totally and completely relieved and very grateful for how you have helped my daughter. Eating gluten, dairy and wheat free has not been easy for her. We are very grateful for your ongoing support and encouragement. Brianna loves her appointments with you.
Thank you Leisa & Brianna xxxx

This book encompasses my mission which is really a result of my 43 year old story. I am grateful for the experiences from birth to now that have revealed my purpose to me. Everyone who has touched my life has somewhat contributed in the opportunity to share this creation and I am forever grateful.
As with any major project, there will always be very special people who assist in making it happen. This is my opportunity to say a big thank you to you all.
An adorable thank you to my sons Andres and Ricardo for being so patient and keeping me smiling along the way.
A special thank you goes to Mum, Eva, who introduced me to Louise L Hays How to Heal Your Life in my early teens and whom I now realise, being a mum, that she always did the best she could with what she had. I love you, Mum.
To my dad, Anibal, you have taught me to never ever give up and I think I have your genetics in that matter. I love you, Dad.
To my sisters who lived through my years of anorexia and other health issues, I thank you for your patience and unconditional love through that time and I know that you are proud of me. Marisa, despite you being my little sister you were always my inspiration. I love you, Viv and Mari.
To my family and friends in Greece and Argentina, I love you all and miss you immensely.
A huge thank you to Liz, my BFF, for your support in all that I do and all that I am. I am having the purple rocking chair! Thank you for being my ears and pushing me to set boundaries. Lets go back to New York!
