When she was a teenager, Karina suffered from anorexia and bulimia. She overcame her eating disorders, but years later she fell ill and lost sight in her left eye. Fearing that she had multiple sclerosis, Karina visited at naturopath who assisted her back to health.
That experience was a pivotal point in her life and gave her the lasting inspiration to nourish her mind and body. She studied massage, completed her training in naturopathy, and opened her own naturopathy practice.
Throughout the next decade, she continued to operate her business and expand her training as an iridologist, herbalist, nutritionist, homeopath, and biomesotherapist.
