It took a while for KATRINA VILLADOLID KERN to find the balance she needed to be a working mom. When her firstborn was three months old, she was faced with the prospect of returning to her stressful sales job in the city. “The thought of having to put him in daycare was breaking my heart,” she says. But, despite feeling blessed that her husband supported her decision to stay home, she realized that being a full-time mom was extremely challenging in itself, and she enjoyed working and making her own money. “This is when I decided that I have to find something that I love to do and have the flexibility to do it,” she says. So, she started her own business, Contours of Hinsdale, which focuses on helping women and men be the best version of themselves with non-invasive body contouring treatments. Kern attended CoolSculpting University and received specialized Emscuplt training to deliver these innovative technologies safely and effectively for her clients. She learned how to be a strong, independent woman from her mother and grandmother, who both worked hard and raised their children with the resources they had—with style and grace. As an entrepreneur, Kern believes that “integrity is key.” She also encourages other women to do what they love to do and be happy. “Life is a balance and you can be it all, whatever that means to you,” she says. “If life isn’t what you expected, you can change it.”

Contours of Hinsdale is located at 111 W. Chicago Avenue, Suite 200, in Hinsdale. For more information, call 630-207-7055, or visit contoursofhinsdale.com.
