Hello, I'm Karla
My name is Karla Sotomayor and I’m originally from Puerto Rico. I currently live in Raleigh, NC with my husband and two of our three children: my step son is in college and we have two beautiful daughters. I have been a health coach since 2010.
My Story
In February 2010, I was a stay-at-home mom that was desperate for energy and a way to earn an income to contribute to the household. I didn’t believe I was going to lose any weight at all. We had our first baby girl, and fourteen months later, our 2nd daughter arrived. I was barely sleeping, and, honestly, I thought I would never be able to run or workout again.
​
I started my program and felt great, with lots of energy. For a mom to feel good and be able to run after her kiddos, something is working right. I was sold and excited to share how I was feeling with more people. I lost 5 lbs on my first week, NOT typical, but something possible for me. After losing a total of 36 lbs and more than ten dress sizes, I feel amazing!!!
​
My results, and my family’s results, led to an incredible business opportunity where we have supported many people.
​
In 2017, after Hurricane María hit our island, our journey took us to Wake Forest, NC. After a couple of years of settling down, we were ready to give back to the community that made us feel right at home. So, in the midst of the COVID pandemic, our calling to do this grew even stronger. Setting aside many fears, we took a leap of faith and opened FAVE Nutrition, a place where you can feel safe, happy and have a family to support you in your wellness goals.

We’re not just about weight management. We want to be with you through your Healthy Active Lifestyle journey, serving you great, healthy alternatives and supporting you. At the same time, you learn to love yourself along the way.
