 Always fascinated with people and their stories, Karen’s training has been a weaving of natural healing practices and counselling starting with a Bachelor in Religious Education. She worked in a religious environment counselling and developing both programs and people. She then worked as a Law Clerk, managing a department with tons of daily interactions, many she discovered ending up focused more on where people were at and what they wanted in their lives than on law.
So, she followed her desire to help people discover their heart's desire for their life and trained as a Career Development Practitioner (Conestoga College, Kitchener), taking counselling and career process courses. She then became a Certified Aromatherapy Health Professional (through JoyEssence Aromatherapy, Joy Watson) & Reflexologist (through Haelen School of the Creative and Healing Arts, Margaret Bell) and Reiki Practitioner (through Soul Connection, Barbara McKell) to help people balance not just their external life but themselves as well.
Yoga was a natural progression as it is a life practice that can be with you always, helping balance mind and body. Karen's first and ongoing teacher, Sharon Burke teaches classes in Fergus, ON and her formal training is with Rita Cupitt who teaches in Guelph, ON. Others have influenced and brought different perspectives along the way as well through many workshops and classes in various styles of yoga.
Mind, body or soul, Karen’s joy is in the forward movement and development of others in whatever way that is best for them!
