My experience with Karen was amazing. Her coaching made me re-evaluate my goals and steer me on a clearer path towards my actual goals. I found her style to be professional, yet friendly and caring. She made me realize that what I thought I was looking for was, in fact, something entirely different. We set small goals each week to work on the "bigger picture," and she gave me so many amazing resources to further support my goals. My work with Karen has improved my confidence, prioritized my intentions, and given me a clearer direction for my future. More...

If I could give Woman in the Mirror 100 stars I would. Karen is great to work with. She is so kind and understanding but she still asks the tough questions that need to be asked.

I loved working with karen, she knows her domain, this is patient and know how to get back on track of the subject at hand.
I understood where she was trying to get my thought process to, and she made my mind work to get there which is needed when life coaching.
I would work with Karen again and again. I have also recommended her a couple of times to people I know.

What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting people from all over the world. My favorite part of the sessions is the aha moments when lightbulbs go on so that change can begin. Watching the transformation of my clients is so rewarding. When my clients are ready to move forward without me using the strategies we have devised together is what it is all about.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my career as a teacher and was a teacher for 20 years. I have always enjoyed helping people. When an injury forced me out of my career, coaching was suggested to me as a new career option. After having a coaching session for myself and seeing the amazing benefit I was hooked and signed up with the International Coach Academy and completed the Advanced Coaching Program.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me because I want them to be more confident with their life choices, and know what they stand for as people. I want them to understand their purpose, passions, and what drives them. I want to support them in their growth so they can be the creators of their own lives. I want to fuel them with the motivation and inspiration they need. I have a simple perspective and a calm, easy, light, encouraging, and motivating style. My clients get results.
