SEE THE RESULTS.

I am going on 4 months of working with Kasey now and it has exceeded ALL expectations I had of coaching/macro tracking. I struggled for YEARS with what/when to eat. I was consistently trying to calculate my own macros which lead to failure and food guilt. I had no energy and I was plateauing in the gym. Investing in Kasey and her coaching was the best decision I could’ve made and I started to feel better immediately. In the past 90 days I have seen significant fat loss, but more importantly I have gotten STRONG. And I mean real strong. I am crushing PR’s and feel nourished. Kasey really listens and takes external LIFE factors into account. She is responsive and wonderful for accountability. Such a sweetheart too but has a fierce desire to help you achieve whatever your goals are. If you have EVER considered investing in this type of coaching, I really say GO FOR IT! Choose Kasey and make your life better!! My only regret was not doing this sooner.

It’s amazing how much your life can change in nine months. Parents well understand this fact with the life-altering birth of a child. While my experience over the past nine months has been different, it has been just as transformational. Let me explain…

 My name is David Ray and I am 44 years old. Throughout my adult life I struggled with body image issues and I sought a variety a means to improve the person I saw in the mirror, each of them ending in failure, depression, and self-loathing. The only things those two-a-day workouts, extreme diets, powders and pills, and concealing clothes (oh, the irony there) reduced was my wallet size and my overall health. 

Nine months ago, I was introduced to Kasey. When I met with her for the first time, I realized that she wasn’t a traditional nutrition coach. She was actually more interested my holistic health, the challenges I had faced, the type of support system I had at my disposal, and what kind of life and lifestyle I ultimately wanted. Our first session felt more like therapy than a discussion of food. I quickly realized that Kasey was exactly who I was looking for and that she could be the addition to my support network that I had been lacking for so long.

I have a technical background and grew up with parents in the medical field so I prefer a more science-based approach to most things. This fit in perfectly with Kasey’s style. She educated me on so many new topics ranging from food types, caloric breakdowns, macro counting, online tracking, and (despite my hatred of them) progress photos. I learned the importance of upping my water intake, consuming organic food options, and taking a more flexible approach to macro tracking to ensure that I didn’t become discouraged with day-to-day fluctuations (it also helped ensure those occasional donuts or pancakes didn’t interfere with my results).

When I started with Kasey, I was 205 pounds and far heavier in appearance than I realized (damn those photos!). Without changing a thing to my workout regime – to be honest, I had actually scaled back to 4-5 days a week only – I quickly saw the weight drop. Within only a couple of months, I was down almost 10 pounds. 10 POUNDS! The following month saw only a modest drop, but I learned an even more important concept – it’s not so much about weight as it is about body composition. I had started to receive compliments from several friends at the gym. In fact, everyone said it was time to invest in new clothes to show off my results. I was both humbled and blown away. It was the first time in my adult life that the image I had seen in the mirror for so long was starting to change for the better.

Over the most recent couple of months, I have continued to see even greater results. My weight loss to date is nearly 20 pounds, my body fat has decreased, my body image has improved DRAMATICALLY, and my self-loathing has been replaced with self-love. I can honestly say that I’m proud of myself for my accomplishment. While I understand that I did the work – the tracking, making better choices, staying diligent in the kitchen and the gym – I honestly couldn’t have achieved this without Kasey. She has been instrumental throughout this journey and we’re already planning the next phase of David. I can’t wait to see what David 2.0 looks and feels like!

"Kasey's holistic approach to nutrition, health and wellness is contagious. She has taught me the ABCs of macronutrient planning, and is now encouraging me to take a deeper dive with my overall nutrition by slowly increasing my overall caloric intake to fuel my strength training workouts, in hopes to build muscle. Kasey has been my trusted nutrition advisor for over a year, and I am proud to say that my perception on nutrition, body image and overall lifestyle has greatly improved. I am not one to take big risks when it comes to my physical appearance. I've always had issues with my body image perception, and a poor relationship with food, from bingeing or not eating at all. Since I started working with Kasey, she has encouraged me to turn negative body thoughts into a growth mindset – I now know that we can always learn from a “mistake,” and those mistakes are okay to make. 

I admire Kasey's ability to set realistic expectations with nutrition based on my own lifestyle, which is filled with social events, gym visits, a sweet tooth, and an unpredictable work schedule. Kasey walks the walk of having a truly healthy lifestyle while keeping fitness and nutrition goals at the forefront, and she’s still a human like the rest of us!

Kasey is committed to sharing the life-changing news about how a proper nutrition, fitness, and wellness program all work together to promote a satisfying balance in my life. I’m not sure what I would do without her!"

"When I started with coaching, I was 4 months postpartum and ready to start the new chapter of getting back into fitness/health after recently having a baby! My goal was to love my new body, but also feel like myself again! I also wanted to continue to breastfeed and wanted to go about losing the baby weight but also not drop my milk supply. I was at a loss of how to start my fitness journey back. I didn't want to spin my wheels trying to figure out what would or wouldn't work. I didn't have the time or energy to do that, and after a few people referred me to KJO Coaching, after seeing all the successful clients the knowledge/expertise, I knew this would be a good fit.I first realized that coaching was “working” when I was down 5-6 lbs after a few weeks and was eating the most I ever have while also losing weight! Honestly, now being 9 months postpartum, I’m in the best shape of my life, and I am overall very happy! I don't correlate my happiness with a number on a scale, I correlate it with how I feel mentally! I realized that I can be a new mom, and still focus on my wellbeing! It is a great feeling during this new chapter of my life!! Kasey takes the time to get to know her clients! She invests in you, the same as you invest in her business. Not only does she focus on your physical wellbeing, but also your mental and emotional wellbeing. She’s created a community, so you can gain knowledge from one another and lean on each other for support. Kasey is a wealth of knowledge, and has great resources, recipes, and data to share (whether it is what vitamins are essential for breastfeeding, how to stretch properly if you are having any muscle soreness, tips for counting macros, etc). Kasey is organized, thoughtful and always available. She truly cares about her clients!"

"Prior to this, I have never worked with an online coach or any coach/personal trainer. I chose to work with Kasey because the information she provides has always been very informative, backed by science, while also being very realistic about the hard work, effort, and patience needed to achieve your goals. I finally made the decision to work with her January of 2019 (now August 2019 and plan to continue with coaching) and am very pleased. Along with the changes to my physique, Kasey has definitely taught me the importance of looking at your health in a holistic manner, which I think not very many coaches address. Kasey is always curious as to what is happening outside the gym and kitchen that could also be affecting my health, while also being very knowledgeable about changes I needed to make and pushing me to be an advocate for myself. I could go on and on about all the positive things Kasey does for me and how amazing of a coach she is, but in summary she is a kickass coach because she truly cares about you, makes sure to educate you about the changes she is making, is always available to answer any questions you have."
