Working with Karen has been truly an awakening experience for me. Karen is a grounded guide who is deeply rooted in the work she does. I started hoping to change my habits which I thought was just a matter of making different choices. It was Karen who helped me understand there was so much more contributing to my habits by serving as a mirror through guided conversation, helping me make these deeper realizations on my own, making them all the more profound. Our time together has opened my eyes, setting my life in a new, more enlightened direction. I couldn’t be more grateful for our time together and would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for guidance of any kind.

Receiving coaching from Karen has been one of the most powerful experiences for me. I began attending regular sessions with her over two years ago feeling lost in my identity and path. Through Implementing practices in mindfulness, she helped me deepen the relationship I have with myself and others. Karen has a deep understanding of not only how people work within themselves, but the power of action, energy, and being with what is. She has been such a profound teacher and mentor in my life. I highly recommend receiving coaching from her whether that is one-on-one or in group coaching sessions.

Working with Karen has helped me get clarity around my professional interests and longer-term life plan, while also helping me define and communicate short-term boundaries. Instead of directly providing solutions, she asks thoughtful questions that help me to find the answers myself. I genuinely look forward to our sessions and I know that even if we don't end up where I expected to, through her mindful guidance I'll come away with a deeper understanding of my path. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone seeking professional or life coaching.

Coaching with Karen has been an invitation to be present and show up in my relationships, life, and work.

Karen holds a compassionate and supportive space in individual and group coaching.

In group coaching, she has offered prompts for reflection, thoughtful discussion, and a sense of community. I’ve found much value in taking the time to reflect and integrate during the week, then return to the group to listen, share, and continue to explore the theme.

Working with Karen one-on-one has helped me connect with my values, what has meaning for me, and feeling empowered to act in my personal life and at work. She has an incredible ability to listen, reflect, ask insightful questions, and offer guidance and practices. Her coaching includes a wide range of tools, and she moves between them with attention and care for what makes sense for me and the situation.

I deeply appreciate and highly recommend her coaching.

I started seeing Karen for one-on-one coaching sessions during quarantine because I was feeling pretty lost and lonely. I was struggling with motivation and drinking too much and starting to feel a bit depressed. Having this check-in point each week has given me the support I need to be more compassionate with myself, feel more comfortable trusting my intuition, and work towards experiencing a life without the wild swings. For me, what makes Karen so successful as a mentor is her ability to listen without judgement and gently guide with insightful reflections based on our conversations – I never feel pressure to respond differently or feel like I’m not doing enough. She’s patient with the journey and helps me be patient too. I'm truly grateful for our work so far – and highly recommend to anyone looking for a little guidance or more mindfulness practice in their lives.

Karen helped me to understand patterns in my life in order to help form and drive where I want my life to go. She helped me look into relationships that may be ineffective or problematic and, most importantly, helped me be compassionate to myself. I would definitely recommend her 10-pack of coaching sessions (and have to many friends) if you are looking to improve your happiness and confidence!

Karen has such a wonderful ability to hold space and create a supportive environment for learning, connection, reflection and integration. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and wisdom that she put into her coaching group to make the topics relevant to our collective experience with the global pandemic. The opportunities to connect with others in the group brought a sense of community that is so desperately needed right now. Highly recommend her for group or individual coaching!
