About Kaleidoscope Holistic Wellness

“Life is like an ever-changing kaleidoscope — a slight change and all patterns alter.” 

-Sharon Salzberg

 
 

Kaleidoscope holistic wellness

The quote above encapsulates the philosophy behind Kaleidoscope Holistic Wellness: that just as the kaleidoscope changes, so too can our lives, transforming and improving through small, intentional shifts. I am here to guide you through those changes, helping you discover the patterns that bring harmony, joy and success.

 
 

KALEIDOSCOPE…

Kaleidoscope Holistic Wellness was founded by Kara Hodes-Wechsler, whose mission is to fortify a woman’s ability to embrace her self-worth and live into her personal and professional potential.

HOLISTIC…

At Kaleidoscope, I take a unique approach to coaching, focusing on the whole person. I believe that you bring one person to every aspect of your life, and personal and career success comes from understanding and nurturing that singular individual.

WELLNESS…

Wellness, to me, is more than just a concept; it's about taking action. It's about delving deep into your own being, understanding yourself on a profound level, and using that knowledge to make choices that lead to a happier, more fulfilling, and ultimately successful life.

I’m here to guide you on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment. My coaching is designed to help you unlock your full potential, overcome obstacles, and create a life that resonates with your truest self.


 

I Believe

Well-being is foundational for success personally and professionally

Personal and professional fulfillment comes with acknowledging our whole-person and aligning our internal and external beings

Cultivating awareness allows you to "tap into yourself" to make informed personal and career choices aligned with what truly matters to you

 
 

Meet Kara Hodes-Wechsler:

certified coach & WELLNESS instructor

 

I’m Kara Hodes-Wechsler, a Leadership and Well-being Coach and Wellness Instructor. I am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and a Certified Integrative Well-being Coach trained at Duke Integrative Medicine.

With a background in Chemistry and Pharmacy, I enjoyed a fulfilling career in the pharmaceutical industry, where I developed new therapeutics and held various leadership positions.

As a "scientist at heart," I use an evidence-based approach in my coaching and wellness program services. As a coach, I help my clients collect data from self-awareness and experimentation to adopt transformative changes aligned with what personally matters to them. My wellness programs are based on the science of neuroplasticity and stimulate both the brain and body so you can perform at your best.

My mission is to fortify a woman's ability to embrace her self-worth and live into her personal and professional potential. Having been a woman in the corporate world myself, I understand the complexity of integrating personal responsibilities, career aspirations, and self-care. I know firsthand how valuable it would have been to have someone by my side to navigate the challenges and choices in life.

I believe that coaching is about action, understanding oneself deeply, and making choices that support a happy, fulfilling, and successful life. My approach is customized, holistic, and focuses on living into your strengths and values.

Working with me, you will discover that leading yourself to personal and career fulfillment is within your reach. I invite you to explore how we can work together to create positive and lasting changes in your life.
