Offering Somatic Breath Work and Sound Healing events, Karen feels like a positive part of the path. Based in Toronto, Canada, Karen enjoys working with both large and small groups, while maintaining a very small and dedicated private clientele list. Recent areas of Karen's study & work are within the field of mental wellness & are personally informed by her own emotional childhood trauma associated with a late adult diagnosis of ADHD & the co-morbidities of Depression & Anxiety often associated with an ADHD diagnosis. She speaks from a place of compassionate knowing as she has & continues her own personal experience of healing. Through acknowledgement, acceptance & forgiveness she helps others navigate their healing journey, making space for moving through the grief of what might have been. Karen teaches from a place of humility & real-life experience. Her voice is calm & relaxed as she invites us all home to ourselves again.

I messed up today. It wasn’t intentional, but I made a error at my job I should not make and it may cost me. I’m scared for me, my reputation, and for my family. But this small and elegant meditation really did help me. I know work/jobs are not everything. I know that life is like this and that I’m Human. But this helped remind me of that and helped guide me through this night. Tomorrow may hurt and I’ll listen to this again. Thank you for this.

Things that we believed to be true, what if they are untrue? Can we let go of this untruth? U’re beautiful just the way u are, not a pound more, not a pound less. - perfect reminders, thank u!

Beautiful. First time I've listened to her. I will listen to more as she makes sense, to me! Lovely voice. I feel much calmer, and grateful now ☺️

This practice turned out a somatic meditation where I could feel my body holding the sensations of anxiety, and releasing them. Thanks

Ooh I loved this, thanks so much! It was so soothing. It's not supposed to be for sleep but it put me to sleep so I didn't hear the end. 💗🙏🏻
