About Karen

Quick Bio

Karen is a registered & certified Trauma-Informed E-RYT 500 Yoga Instructor. Her expert training spans over 1,000 accredited training hours, serving her well, as a Master Meditation Teacher & Facilitator. Most of Karen's work is rooted in Buddhist teachings & traditions & a significant portion of her personal daily practice is Vipassana (Insight Meditation). Based in Toronto, Canada, Karen has been influencing & contributing to the Wellness Community since 2009.

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, readily sharing her own personal experiences of healing as a means to normalise the struggles her students might encounter. Through acknowledgement, acceptance & forgiveness she helps others navigate their healing journey, making space for moving through the grief of what might have been.

Born with the mind of the curious student, Karen pursues the path of study & practice. She says "I must be like a bee in the bonnet of my teachers... so many questions!" Believing her greater life-purpose is to re-connect people with their higher consciousness, she helps them to heal & understand the inter-connectedness of all beings. Karen teaches from a place of humility & real-life experience. Her voice is calm & relaxed as she invites us all home to ourselves again.

"This really spoke to me, as I am addicted to worry. I will go to this meditation to help me out of the “rabbit hole of worry” and help bring me peace. I especially loved the blanket analogy—very healing. Thank you so much!"

"Thank you for sharing Karen - I found the mediation on letting go very powerful….as work on painful and unresolved matters in a long term friendship. As time goes on I know I may need to accept this as a loss but I’m struggling with this. I loved the metaphor of the candle and am going to repeat listen and listen to my heart and soul and try to be true to what is needed….Namaste"
