Profile
My name is Karen Harris, I qualified as a Fitness Instructor back in 1993. It's difficult to think of life without keeping fit, and I will continue to help motivate people to include fitness and health as a part of their every day lives.
Eating healthily comes with the territory of being in fitness; in the past, nutrition has only been in my family's interest, until a friend asked me for some personal training and help with his diet. I devised a healthy eating plan and fitness regime for him, and he lost 10kg of fat in 2 months! He finds in easy to maintain his weight and feels a lot fitter and healthier. This way of eating has been featured recently on various TV programs with great success.
I since qualified as a Nutrition and Weight Management Consultant, tutoring more people individually to success. There have also been some great results from my weight management groups, the details are on the 'diet analysis' page.
When my husband was diagnosed with herniated discs I was sure that there had to be something to help him out of pain that wasn't invasive. Egoscue Posture Alignment Therapy was that 'something' and I have since become an Egoscue Certified Posture Alignment Specialist. This method REALLY works, I get referrals from massage therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors and other body workers.
My most recent qualification is Barefoot Training Specialist done under the tutorage of Dr Emily Splichal; this gives me more in-depth knowledge of our lower joints but also foot to core sequencing.
