About Karen
Through Mental Health, I had the most amazing opportunity to co-facilitate a 10-week program for women survivors of childhood sexual abuse. As I too am a survivor, this resonated deeply with me. With the support of Mental Health, I developed a self-help group for women survivors which I facilitated for 5 years. My own experience gave me a strong awareness of the compassionate, safe, and trusting environment that women needed. I was able to create the necessary space for women to gather, support and heal their own lives. This is the reason I have chosen to be a Life Coach.
If you are looking for change in your life, as a Life Coach, I can support you through powerful questioning and guidance in discovering your best self in any challenge you may be facing. We can plan strategies to support you in reaching your goals.
Everyone has a story. I would love to be a part of yours and you be a part of mine. Please reach out to me so that you can begin living your best self.
As a Professional Certified Life Coach, I am passionate about supporting you to live a value based, healthy, and successful life.
The best investment you can make is in yourself; in your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. When you invest in these three areas, life becomes very manageable. As a Life Coach, I will provide you with the tools and skills necessary to live life with a greater understanding and purpose.
I, too, was once in a place in my life where I needed support, guidance, and direction. After investing years in healing, and self-discovery, I discovered my strengths, challenges, values and understanding. Then, with the aid of my inner compass I knew the direction I needed to embark.
As a teenager, I had a strong awareness that I wanted to support children. My work as an Early Childhood Educator spanned over 40 years. It was a privilege to nurture children by creating a loving, safe environment, by meeting them where they were and allowing them to grow and learn; both essential for kind, loving and independent individuals: the leaders of tomorrow. Success!
