Hello friends!

My journey to health and wellness began as a little girl growing up in Sweden. Summers were spent in the garden with my parents, planting and harvesting fruit and vegetables. I’d hike through pine forests with my dad, picking wild blueberries and chanterelles, and spend hours in the kitchen with my mom, experimenting with new recipes and sharing them with family and friends.

In 2011, I traveled to the Ann Wigmore Institute, where I earned a degree in the Living Foods lifestyle. It was a major turning point - I discovered how deeply food and lifestyle affect our well-being. I began reading labels, swapping out processed foods for living, whole foods, and became intentional about everything I brought into my body and home.

Fueled by this transformation, I continued my training at Living Light Culinary Institute, becoming a certified Gourmet Raw Food Chef and Nutrition Educator. I felt vibrant, clear, and energized - and I knew I wanted to help others feel the same.

When I became pregnant with my daughter Liv in 2012, everything deepened. Her name, Liv, means “life” in Scandinavian. I was eating living foods, growing a new life, and feeling more alive than ever. That’s when The Living You was born—a way of living that celebrates vitality, intentionality, and joy.

I went on to become a certified yoga and fitness instructor and launched Fit4Mom Marin, a fitness community for mothers that I owned and operated for six beautiful years. It was a time of deep connection, support, and empowerment—walking alongside other women through motherhood, movement, and self-care.

After selling Fit4Mom, I dove fully into creating holistic wellness experiences. I’ve hosted smoothie resets, emotional wellness programs, cooking classes, yoga and meditation events, sound healing journeys, cacao ceremonies, and retreats. It’s been a joy to collaborate with fellow wellness professionals and create meaningful experiences for others.

In recent years, I’ve expanded my offerings to include sound baths, breathwork, and cold immersion—modalities I fell in love with through my own personal journey of deepening and alignment. These tools have been powerful in supporting both body and soul, and I’m honored to share them.

In 2022, my family fulfilled a lifelong dream and built a retreat home in beautiful Belize, right on the Caribbean Sea. It was a soulful, expansive experience that i am forever grateful for. Though we have since sold that home, the vision evolved and led us to Lake Tahoe - where we now live full time where I am honored to host wellness retreats.

The mission of The Living You has always been to empower you to become the healthiest, most vibrant version of yourself. Because just like all living things - you’re meant to flourish.

Thank you for being here. I’m so honored to support you on your wellness journey.

With love,

Karin
