"The experience to date working directly with our corporate Wellness Specialist, Karen Gamble, has far exceeded all of our expectations and goals. Karen brings not only the knowledge and experience of both nutrition and exercise, but also a positive outlook for our people that both motivates and inspires them to participate and make real changes. Through the one-on-ones we have seen individual successes, but it was the group Extreme Makeover that has had the most significant impact. Each session was informative, positive and allowed for more team building and friendship than in any other program we have introduced. We feel fortunate to be able to offer this type of a resource and environment to the group and will look for ways to expand the positive results that this work has both for the individual as well as the business overall." - John Pavanel, President, Pavaco Plastics
"Karen has a very genuine approach to everyone she coaches and truly wants you to exceed (and you will!) This isn't a job for Karen, it is a passion, therefore everyone wins." - Program participant, Hematite Manufacturing
"I have totally changed the way my family feels about new food choices (better) and appreciate how these choices impact our health. Karen was extremely approachable and always encouraging, regardless of my personal setbacks." - Program participant, Hematite Manufacturing
"Karen's approach to wellness is inspiring and supportive. She teaches a variety of techniques to make incremental improvements to your health and her overall philosophy of balance is what makes these changes liveable and sustainable. I'm looking forward to continuing the wellness journey!" - Sylvia, Hematite Manufacturing
"Our 8 week Extreme Lifestyle Makeover was very informative and Karen is very knowledgeable about nutrition and weight loss. She is caring and easy to talk to. Overall, the course was very enjoyable. Thank you Karen for all the great information and recipes." - Program participant
"I was fortunate to meet Karen Gamble through one of our Shareholder's from CRA and it was through Karen that Meaghan Jansen from Employer's Edge was introduced to us.
Her topic was "How to Sustain Energy and Productivity during the Workday...nutritionally". This Lunch & Learn was also a huge success as she spoke to us about how to maintain energy levels throughout the day and the benefits of certain foods and why it is important to make appropriate choices for our diet.
She was a very dynamic speaker and since her session, a number of our offices viewed the video tape of this session and held their own Lunch & Learn session for their branch office. This was a very popular topic with our staff and we were very pleased with the high level of participation we had from our staff and the overall outcome."
