Carolyn provides personal consulting services in weight loss and management. Her recommendations are nutrition-based and well balanced. No diet plans, supplements, or drugs are required or sold. No food group is emphasized or removed; however a return to natural basics is stressed with a reduction in processed and cooked foods and an increase in raw fruits and vegetables.

In addition to hand-to-hand self defense training, Carolyn trains regularly with weapons. She does not provide weapons training, but will assist clients in obtaining this training.

Carolyn helps her clients set goals and work through multiple steps in attaining those goals. She handles all levels of fitness from beginners to experienced athletes. By challenging yourself with a goal you are more likely to stick to your program. Her clients have had goals that range from fitting into a size 8 dress for a wedding to completing a marathon. She herself has experienced the challenge of competing in jiu jitsu tournaments in the "40+" age bracket.
