My Coaching Philosophy
Read below to learn about my philosophy on coaching, coaching appraoch, lived experience and qualifications that inform my work.
A Science-Backed, Nature-Inspired Approach to Wellness
Kaylyn brings together a deep understanding of biochemistry, nutrition, and mind-body medicine. She holds a B.S. in Biochemistry and an M.S. in Food Science, with extensive training in personal and functional nutrition. As a student of traditional health systems like Ayurveda, she integrates both scientific and nature-based approaches to health.
Her philosophy emphasizes:
People over protocols – focusing on individuals rather than rigid health rules.
Sustainability over restriction – avoiding dogmatic diets in favor of stress-aware nourishment.
Holistic well-being – recognizing the connection between food, emotions, and lifestyle.
She has completed over 300 hours of study in Integrative Herbalism at the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism, with coursework in anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, materia medica, herbal pharmacy, nutrition, and botany.
Mind-Body Practices for Deep Healing
Kaylyn believes that true healing extends beyond nutrition—mind-body practices play a crucial role in restoring balance. She draws from her extensive training in yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, incorporating movement and breathwork when appropriate in her coaching.
Certified Vinyasa Yoga Teacher (EYT-200)
Restorative Yoga Training (30-hour certification in Judith Lasater’s methods)
100+ hours of training in mindfulness practices with a Buddhist monk
18+ years of personal yoga practice
These practices support clients in developing self-awareness, calming the nervous system, and reconnecting with their intuition.
From Burnout to Breakthrough
After a decade of working in corporate and academic settings as a food researcher and educator, Kaylyn experienced a deep period of burnout. Overwhelmed by chronic stress and disconnection, she embarked on a healing journey that transformed her approach to life and work.
Through years of study, practice, and self-discovery, she found sustainable ways to manage energy, build resilience, and honor her sensitive nature. Her journey fuels her passion for helping others break free from cycles of stress and exhaustion, so they can live with more clarity, creativity, and peace.
Kaylyn is a highly sensitive person (HSP), a late-discovered Autistic-ADHD (AuDHD) person, and a joyful survivor of relational trauma. She understands firsthand the challenges of navigating burnout and is committed to guiding others with empathy, knowledge, and support.
Beyond Coaching
When she’s not supporting clients or reading about nutrition, herbalism, and psychology, Kaylyn loves spending time in nature, practicing yoga, writing, cooking, and riding her bike in the Rocky Mountains.
