What Makes KHSC Different?
We Have Legit Professional Credentials
Our coaches are professionally licensed and/or nationally certified. Our founder invested in her education and training so she could be confident she could help others live a healthy lifestyle. With wellness, unfortunately, people who don’t know better can unintentionally cause harm to others with inappropriate advice, which is why KHSC only provides coaches who are trained health and wellness professionals. No MLM sales or self-proclaimed “coaches” trained by supplement companies.
We Have a Lot of Coaching Experience
KHSC brings you over 12 years of experience coaching thousands of clients, literally. Our coaches have seen and heard it all from working with everyone from bus drivers and janitors to park rangers and teachers to government officials and CEOs.
We Developed Corporate Wellness Products
Our founder worked for 10 years in two large population health management companies. These are the companies that set up medical clinics on employer worksites and provide wellness programs and incentives to employees. She oversaw the “wellness product” by planning, creating, and delivering coaching programs, presentations, newsletters, and by training coaches to deliver these products and to deliver engaging webinars. This makes KHSC ready to help you offer engaging wellness events to your employees.
We Love Delicious Food
Food is meant to be enjoyed. That includes getting rid of any guilt or shame about eating and no more classifying foods as “good” or “bad.” Because, you realize, that even water will kill you if you take in too much and yet we consider that good right? Just sayin’. And yes, you have to eat, even when your goal is weight loss.
We Are a Weight Neutral Practice
Health, happiness, and confidence do not have a body size. You can be healthy, happy, and confident at a wide range of body shapes and sizes. You can improve your health even if your weight and body composition don’t change. Losing weight doesn’t cure people. Being thin doesn’t keep people healthy. YOU are the one who gets to decide if you want to lose weight or not. KHSC supports their clients for improving their health. This may or may not involve losing or gaining weight.
We Personalize Our Approach to Every Single Client
There is no one-size-fits-all, best way to be healthy and we don’t give out pre-made meal plans or coaching goals. Each one of our clients is unique in their health history, their health goals, their social situations, their preferences, and so many other things. Our coaching clients get a personalized plan that fits for their lifestyle and goals.
We Have Passion
We love delicious food, all things heart-health related, and shutting down Diet and Wellness Culture. Our founder spent a lifetime struggling with her weight and survived a heart attack, so you may get why these things are our jam.

Our Founder
Alexia Lewis
(She/Her)
Alexia may be a lot like you because she has struggled with her weight since her teen years. At 38, she survived a heart attack. Then she had to learn to cook and figure out how to balance a healthy lifestyle with work and family. She turned to education to learn to avoid the BS and to keep herself honest. Alexia still struggles with her weight and is working to be a more mindful and intuitive eater. Until then, she is a macro-counter, loves to lift weights, do yoga, and run – when her body will allow her to move that way.
