In addition to the great coaching, Karen provided some wonderful resources that can help me build my business. I would encourage anyone who wants to build their business to work with Karen."

Living Life With Passion

I was going through a difficult time when I met Karen, feeling stuck about work, and more personally, about my ability to know who I am and express that to the world. I contacted Karen with the goal of skill-building in my own training as a coach, and ended up embarking with her on a much more personal journey than I originally envisioned.

Karen's ability to see through to the heart of the matter and her warm and supportive style helped me un-learn some long-held beliefs about myself and what I am capable of.

She saw things in me that I didn't yet see in myself, and helped to draw them out. I am so grateful for the many, many things I learned from working with this extremely insightful, bright and grounded coach.

I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Self Esteem & Life Skills Training

Good morning again,

As you are off to one of your many 'jobs' this morning, just wanted to give you
a big, big, gigantic hug!!!!

Thank you for your willingness and ability to hear beyond and for the incredible 
demonstration of patience,  walking me, around, around and back again to get to
this very deep core issue of 'trust'.  Once the phone was put down several
pictures began showing themselves around this very issue.

It's also a heck of a lot easier right now to see where and why the 'weight
issue' has come up again,  an issue that has brought much pain, with no real
answers coming through. Putting the phone down, many pictures came forward,
along with the beginning of a few tears.  I just know there is a whole dam that
is in the process of being cracked wide open.

Thank you for taking the time to walk through this issue so close to the heart,
and even more Karen for your willingness to share your busy and full journey and
what is ringing through for you. 

This is a  lovely 'partnership'.  Thank you for letting me be part of the work
in progress for both!!

Take precious care,

Lainey Ross, England

Note to those who would use Karen as a coach:

Having worked on myself for most of my adult lifetime, I am amazed how Karen so quickly discerned an issue that I did not know was there.  After all I had worked for years and years clearing out all the childhood stuff, etc.  We all have so many little things tucked away and forgotten, little things that have not allowed us to reach our full potential and have kept us silently and maybe not so silently bound. And yet with the eyes and heart of an excellent coach we are guided through the maze of seeing and experiencing, and thus the flow of innocence once again opened and we are set free to celebrate and move forward in whatever endeavor we may choose.

Facing core issues is generally one of the most difficult activities we are called to face head on.  Each individual comes with it's own unique little or large package. The miracle is that once seen, we be set free.  I have experienced this time and time again.  However, Coach Karen has led the way with such clarity and ease.  Coaching sessions are a joy and the freedom given is forever.  What more could we ask for???  Making the commitment to be coached and then finding a committed coach leads to a life of freedom and excellence in and of life.

Thank you Karen, for letting me find you, and for your commitment to let me find me!!

Health/Wellness/Life Skills/Self Esteem/Self Healing/Clarity from her own Mind/Body/Spirit

I first started coaching with Karen many years before she knew of her calling to coach professionally.  She has helped me with subjects like depression, anxiety, organization, abandonment, my own troubled teen and her self-worth.

Karen has taught me that I have the answers, skills and tools I seek. I am powerful and amazing and to respect others in the same light.

I've learned skills such as meditation, visualization, being present, deeper understanding of how gratitude is important in my life, manifestation, and realization of my value, belief structure and different self-care techniques. I now know that I am, as I believe I am.

Karen helped me realize that:

1. I am not alone in the challenges I face,

2. That the mistakes I've made are not who I am, but rather a learning experience.

3. That I do hold the key to the answers to my challenges,

4. That I am powerful and of worth, and

5. I can and am getting healthier and happier.

I continue to use all the skills I've learned with success, because they work and are a lifeline to me. My life has become meaningful and full of happiness.

I recommend coach Karen to all my friends and neighbors who are struggling on their path. I believe actions speak louder than words. As others see my changes and growth they will want that powerful change for themselves.

If there are any questions or would like to explore further my experience with coach Karen, please contact me at " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ."

Mind/Body Relationship

Karen is a bright and intuitive individual who cares very deeply about her clients' well-being. Even when it was difficult for me to understand how the mind-body connection worked, she was patient and she made sure that I understood her explainations. She is professional and can be counted on to do whatever she says she will do. I would recommend her to anyone who is willing to take action in making their lives better.

Creativity/Self Validation/Clarity of Vision

Karen is a friend and mentor whom I trust. In the course of our conversation I asked her about some articles I'm writing, looking for direction on not only where to publish them, but the best path to take in getting my messages expressed. Karen's intuitive sense provided me with insight into my own powers to express myself and that my planning step was already in place with the work I've done on my website. I came away with a sense of knowing that my articles would lead to greater expressions of my work through a future book. It was nice to have that information spoken to me... yet again... as I am encouraged to step forward in my work. Thanks, Karen, for helping me gain clarity.
