tESTIMONIALS
“'Thank you for today,' I wrote to Karen after one of our coaching sessions, 'it felt like an hour of luminescence in the storm.' She created space for me to see myself as I was and wanted to be—rather than for what the world constrained me to be. Her attentive presence, as much as her carefully tailored practices, made a tender, neglected part of me feel deeply cared for and legitimated. She guided me through a process of noticing what brings me alive, versus what makes me feel small. She helped me find and open my own door and invited me to walk through."

“My work with Karen has completely transformed my life, my sense of myself, and the quality of my relationships with others. Through her compassionate presence, Karen created a safe container inside which I could examine my most vulnerable and wounded parts, with curiosity and non-judgement. Working with Karen has completely redefined my understanding of what coaching can be - shifting from an inventory of challenges to tackle - to cultivating a space of curiosity, compassion, and kindness within which my psyche and soma can reveal whatever needs to be seen, heard, validated, and appreciated. I could not recommend her more highly.”

“My sessions with Karen were an unexpected time of openness, peace and discovery. I remember the silence, as if all the extraneous noise were dampened to allow the space to come to my own moments of clarity. My experience with Karen was unlike others I’ve had with coaching. I never felt like she had an answer that she was trying to lead me to—there were no prescriptive solutions. Rather, she created a space that allowed me to walk in a direction I needed and wanted to go.”

“I’ve spent my entire life proving to myself and the world that I am completely self-sufficient. At times, a challenging road to walk. With Karen’s tender support and guidance, I began to explore how I might experience my life differently. In the nurturing space of our sessions, along with heart-centered tools and practices that supported me to ground and soften, a different story of my life began to unfold. The profound impact of our sessions reverberated through my days in beautiful and affirming ways. I recommend Karen's offerings to anyone interested in embarking on a journey of compassionate self-exploration and transformation.”

“At first, I was apprehensive about how I could benefit from coaching. However, after meeting Karen for the very first time – online and across the oceans, I immediately realised how blessed I was to have the opportunity to work with her. She has an amazing knack to suggest small steps that create big outcomes. My work with her has led to enormous personal growth, almost effortlessly. I have gained confidence, learnt to sit with my emotions and see them objectively, and to fill a room with my newfound presence and confidence. I am very grateful."

"Karen created a space for me to explore what was getting in the way of me being who I truly am in work and in life. I started this journey with both hope and trepidation. Karen provided a non-judgmental space in which I could get curious, explore, and grow. I left each session with a better understanding of myself, practices to support me on my journey, and motivated to take the next steps. I continue to use and practice what I learned with Karen to help me bring my whole self to my life."

“Karen is a truly gifted coach. Part teacher and part companion, she creates a space of direction and vulnerability, the perfect balance between guidance and collaborative unfolding. Her insight, clarity, empathy, and ability to see the “whole” allow her to be a powerful guide. I’m grateful for the way she uses her own deep wisdom to help others listen to theirs. I’ll carry the impact of this coaching with me for years to come.”
