"For 24 years I have tried to lose weight my way. I have tried almost every diet this world has had to offer. It never crossed my mind until 2 years ago when I met Caren that I could and should lose weight and steward my body Gods way. I honestly was too prideful to even ask God for help especially since I knew I was the cause of my weight. I was so embarrassed to ask for help because I had failed so many times. Thankfully he dealt patiently with me and I decided to truly give Carens 1 on 1 intensive coaching a try. I knew it would be based on Gods way but I had no idea how badly I needed this. With Caren's guidance, and with Gods grace He is transforming from the inside out. I finally see myself through the eyes of God and how important it is to steward my body well as another form of worship. It wasn’t easy, but I had tried everything and when I came to a complete surrender before His throne, my heart has changed and my body is following. The best part…my heart changed, healing from so much that was hiding inside me about how I felt about myself. If you’re curious about the weight…I am down 11 lbs and it is still coming off. I am forever grateful that I have taken the Wellness His Way coaching with Caren."

"I am beyond grateful that I was able to take the opportunity to be coached one on one by Caren! I come from a lifestyle of healthy eating, but it was more strict eating (keto) because I loved the benefits that ketosis gave me physically. The only problem is that I did feel like I was in bondage, because there was no sense of food freedom. By the end of week 7, I had a moment that I cried out to Him, saying that I didn't want to carb count anymore or be restricted from food (like APPLES are in Keto!)..and he COMPLETELY freed me from restrictions during that prayer. He confirmed to me that I know how to nourish my body and he would help me along the way, everyday, as long as I am willing. He is, was and always will be there. Over the course of 8 weeks, Caren just kept redirecting me to consult with Jesus every day on how to nourish my body, and through that discipline, my relationship grew stronger with Him... which is the greatest benefit beyond food. Her daily check ins and teachings were the perfect motivation needed to keep me on track! This program was more than a food journey... it was a spiritual journey that impacted every other aspect of my life. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone."
Bobbie Boyne:
"When I first heard of Caren’s intensive coaching, I immediately said that is a big NO for me…… I honestly thought intensive meant I would be yelled at, working out until I threw up and my diet would be all chicken breast, and all broccoli all day. None of that happened. Instead, the things that were intensive were:
✨ The amount of time we read the Bible and discussed verses and how it applied to my current life situations
✨ The amount of talking with Caren through the day about my struggles, my schedule and my desires for something different
✨ The praying!
✨ The accountability of another Christian sister
✨ The knowledge- more than tips and tricks- it was information to put into practice immediately to change what I have been struggling alone to change for SO long!"
Andrea Faulkner:
“One on one intensive coaching helped me to build strong habits in all areas of my life. We worked through bumps and hiccups in realtime that helped me overcome obstacles that had previously kept my growth stagnant. Caren curated the experience individually for me and provided encouragement and discernment that helped me grow in my physical health, as well as in my spiritual and mental health. I’m so glad I did it!”
Kendra Arnick:
I’ve known Caren for several years now (in person and online), and what I’ve always appreciated most about her is her unwavering passion for pointing others to Christ in all areas of life (not just in wellness!) and openly and unapologetically living for and intentionally seeking after God. I knew that I needed accountability in my wellness journey. I knew my lack of nutrition and movement was a problem. I knew I couldn’t do it on my own (say ‘hello’ to my long list of trying all the things that would all eventually fall flat). I knew that Caren offered something special. What I didn’t know was how MUCH I needed this program. When I say that it was way more than I thought it would be, and that is was exactly what I needed, I’m not exaggerating! It was accountability from a sister in Christ who would gently, but firmly speak truth that I needed to hear. It was a new and bold challenge to see my body (and how I cared for it) in a way I never saw before. It was a call to a mindset change in areas of my life I didn’t even know were broken and in need of repairing and renewing. I still have much work to do, but now...now I feel prepared. Prepared to let God lead me in areas where I hadn’t even heard his voice before now. Through Caren, I have been equipped with new eyes to see. Eyes to see how to steward my time, my body, my family and my faith HIS way, for His glory! Soli Deo Gloria!
Yvette Kemp:
I have so loved my 1 on 1 Intensive coaching journey with Caren - it was just what I hoped for. I was looking for something to help me with some accountability on my health & wellness journey and where I was looking at a classic fitness/nutrition program which I knew had worked in the past but not been sustained, I was really aware of the striving & white-knuckling I would embark on with that style of program and that was the last thing I needed. I remember praying for Christian accountability on my wellness journey that would help tackle what makes me loose momentum once the program is complete. The 1 on 1 intensives were so much more. There was a fab balance of Christ-centered teaching to set our minds on Him first, with really practical health wellness tools & tips plus really personalized reflection time & coaching conversations throughout the week. For me, it lead to some real break-through moments to continue to walk with God beyond the 8weeks - which was big in itself having never really considered this a thing to daily bring to Him. I’m so grateful for Caren’s heart to make Christ so central, to enable & focus women to intentionally walk with Him in their wellness journey whatever their story & challenge with it is. I’m grateful for how she keeps things simple & practical so we can keep focussed on what matters most. I am so grateful for the safe space Caren created to enable me to be so open and reflect deeply & honestly with her, and for her wisdom & sensitivity in unpacking what is revealed. It was truly a beautiful experience which I would highly recommend.
