Karim H. Fugel, MS, CHHC, Reiki Practitioner, CST

Karim is a Nutrition Consultant and Holistic Health Counselor. She earned her masters degree in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health. She is certified by Teachers College Columbia University in partnership with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as well as the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. Karim has received a certificate in Food Therapy from The Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Health. She is a member in good standing of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals.

Karim has cultivated the vital correlation between food and living a life of balance in order to achieve optimal health. She brings a lifetime love of learning and research on how food affects every aspect of our lives to her work. Karim knows first-hand that when our diet changes, everything changes. The food we eat literally becomes our cells, blood tissues, organs and even our thoughts. Karim has studied a wide array of dietary theories under such diverse natural health luminaries as Andrew Weil, MD, Deepak Chopra, MD and Marion Nestle. She uses this knowledge to guide her clients to find which food and lifestyle choices help them achieve the energized and passionate life they desire. Karim’s approach is not about acquiring more self-discipline or willpower. It is about helping her clients to discover what nourishes them, what feeds them and ultimately what makes their lives extraordinary.

Karim works one-on-one with clients and leads corporate seminars and public workshops on health and nutrition. Karim has designed a series of food preparation demonstrations and cooking classes built around highlighting how simple it can be to eat a nourishing, whole foods diet.

Karim's main passions in life include raising her two children together with the support of her husband in a home that emphasizes laughter, encouragement and a strong family bond. She is also proud to be a member of the Board of Directors of The Barbara E. Giordano Foundation for Women's Health and Education and a member of the district Health and Wellness Committee in the Hastings-on-Hudson UFSD.

'My desire is to change my client's relationship with food…for the better.'

'Many people today are scared of food and confused by the conflicting information presented by the media. My system helps you sort through all of the myths and fads and takes you back to the basics to discover what is truly nourishing - to the individual.'

'I help people use food as a tool, which empowers them to take charge of their lives.'

In addition to Karim's passion for health counseling she believes strongly in gentle hands-on touch to help client's bodies release the pressures and stresses of everyday living. Through her Reiki practice she combines the theory of CranioSacral Therapy to create a truly individual healing treatment. The delicate and very personal sessions Karim offers leave clients feeling deeply relaxed with an improvement in whole-body health and performance.

Karim offers her services to clients in Tarrytown, New York at Ruck Spine & Sports at as well as throughout New York City and Westchester for private and corporate clients. Karim: 917/385-6069.
