About KB Naturally

My name is Karen Benedetto, AADP, CHC, Certified Health & Lifestyle Coach

After becoming a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach in 2012, I founded the company KB Naturally. KB…that’s me! KB Naturally is a private health and lifestyle coaching practice that focuses on a natural approach to a healthy life, hence ‘Healthy Living Specialist.’

But let’s rewind a little bit…I owe the start of my healthy lifestyle to both my parents. My mother was equal parts traditional, as well as way ahead of her time. She often used conventional medicine but was always reading about vitamins and listening to healthy talk radio when I was a little girl. However, what really catapulted me into my journey of life altering discoveries and research was when my father fell ill in 1987. In turn, paving the path to my lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Leading me to become an avid researcher where I discovered the simple, yet profound connection between what we feed our bodies and our minds, and how those choices directly impact our lives.

I became passionate about learning different healing modalities that call upon the many different gifts mother nature provides us with. In fact, this information quite literally changed my life, as well as how I would raise my own family…and perhaps, rippling out into how my daughters will one day choose to raise their families…and so on.

During a time when it was not nearly as popular as it is now, I chose organic, vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian lifestyles to raise my daughters. I was steadfast in my commitment. I traveled far and wide for organic produce, and red meat has never passed their lips. School days and birthday parties were challenging at times, but did I mention I was steadfast?! When they were faced with an unhealthy food choice, I used to tell them, ‘well, we don’t eat that (and I explained why), but we can have this.’ I was eternally motivated by this notion that I was giving my daughters a gift they would have for the rest of their lives. To this day, they still thank me.

The empowering idea that WE get to decide the path for ourselves…is what lights the fire within me to hopefully inspire some of YOU to do the same!
