Meet Kara

 

I am the CEO and founder of Raise the Bahr Life Coaching. I am a certified life coach, completing the majority of my training through the Co-Active Training Institute and currently am pursuing my coach certification in Positive Intelligence Training. Prior to life coaching, I received my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing Degree from The University of Iowa and my Master's Degree in Health and Human Performance from Iowa State University. I worked as a surgical nurse for 10 years. After that, I spent 24 years in corporate health, leading health and wellness for Tone’s Spices, Nationwide Insurance, Pioneer and DuPont. I’ve been a registered nurse for 34 years and have used health coaching for countless clients individually and in groups to improve their lives. I have come to realize that without first achieving mental fitness, people struggle to make many of their life dreams come true.  My passion now is to help clients achieve their goals through mental fitness.​

My Focus

 

I enjoy working one on one with adults who are in burnout or feel they are at a crossroads in life.

 

I specialize in supporting: 

​

  • Surgeons, doctors, nurses and others in high profile health care positions

  • Healthcare and corporate HR leaders

  • Midlifers who are pulled in many directions

​

I offer coaching packages designed to help you identify personal values and beliefs, set commitments, get rid of saboteur thoughts and strengthen the wise sage that already resides insides you.  We’ll design a way to manage all of this in a tailored coaching process just for you.  


We’ll identify all the stressors (I’ve got them too!) – from your boss to your clients/patients/employees, to relationships, to whatever is causing you to seek out a coach.  Then we’ll develop a plan to address each one, one at a time, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.  At the end of our time together, you will have concrete systems in place to help manage and alleviate your stressors so you can live the life you want!
