By Kate – Integrative Nutrition Health Coach & Functional Nutrition Consultant
Why I’m Here
I’m beginning a new journey — one grounded in compassion, biology, and recovery. After years of outreach work and interviewing individuals impacted by addiction, trauma, and loss, I’m stepping into coaching with a clear intention:
To support people whose path has gone off track — whether through addiction, emotional struggle, or life circumstances. I’m here to meet you where you stand and walk with you toward healing.
Coaching That Listens First
Through Kate’s Nutritional Aroma Hub, I offer trauma-informed recovery support with a holistic foundation. My process always starts with listening. From your story, we’ll discover together what tools could help — whether it’s nutritional strategies, breathwork, or nervous system care. You make the journey. I offer direction.
The Gut-Brain Connection
Healing happens from the inside out. I focus on microbiome health because what’s happening in your gut shapes your emotions, your resilience, and your recovery. Together, we work with:
- Nutritional guidance
- Nervous system regulation
- Aromatherapy and breathwork
- Gut-brain strategies that bring clarity and calm
A Community Writing Project
I’m gathering anonymous interviews for a series called:
“Healing Starts Wherever You Stand” — exploring real stories of addiction and resilience in Rochester. If you’d like to share your experience, it may help someone begin their own healing process.
Work With Me
This coaching journey is just beginning. If you’re seeking support — or know someone who is — I offer heart-led guidance informed by science, compassion, and lived insight.

Healing doesn’t need perfection. It needs a beginning. And a place to stand.
