As a professional nutritionist and culinary educator, Karen Raden MS,RD,CCN has a passion for helping people to feel good both physically and emotionally. For over fifteen years, she has coached countless people along the path to long-term health and wellness. Her unique background in clinical and naturopathic nutrition, in conjunction with the culinary arts, sets her apart in a field infiltrated with trends, fads and unhealthy “diets” that yield little results.

Karen prides herself on being a “practical” nutritionist who understands the challenges that her clients experience. She takes a “begin where you are” philosophy, offering each client an opportunity to make changes that support his or her wellness goals. Despite her expertise, Karen prefers to work as a partner -- empowering people by asking good questions and listening to the answers without judgment. As a result, she often hears comments like, “Wow, I thought coming to see the nutritionist was going to be painful and embarrassing, but it’s not! I feel excited about making these changes. And, they seem very doable.”
