Kara is also a talented actress with a Meisner technique, improv and comedy background.
In her spare time, Kara can be found scouring vintage shops for her next amazing find, cooking, making natural, DIY beauty products, fashion trends, laughing, inventing recipes, exercising, dancing to Caribbean calypso and helping her friends to laugh more, lose weight, get fit and makeover their wardrobes and their lives. Kara’s mission is to get people to see the best in themselves. To be empowered and to know what is possible for themselves and their lives. Kara is a certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist (NASM – National Academy of Sports Medicine) and trained NLP Practitioner.

She has also gained valuable experience working as a coach with a disparate group of people, helping them to make radical changes to their lives and to achieve their wildest dreams.
