Karen is amazing. She is an incredibly skilled and intuitive facilitator with such a deep understanding of the nervous system and chronic pain, and how to tend to them. She also just has a level of wisdom and innovation in her approach that are unparalleled. I had the chance to join one of her workshops, and it was simply brilliant. Give yourself an enormous gift and book a session with her. No, book three sessions with her. Stat.
Karen is a powerhouse human and it comes through with her facilitation. I had the pleasure of breathing at a retreat with Karen facilitating. Her workshop beforehand left me speechless as my mind just wanted to remember everything she shared on our “Labeling ourselves” This lady thinks outside of the box and I was awestruck. Her life wisdom, which I was honored to hear about, and her deep concern for healing both herself and the world is inspirational. Thank you Karen.
Karen did a spectacular job in describing to us what she was looking for in order to achieve optimal personal results. She was very poised during the session and respected every pupils comfort level. Additionally, her coaching throughout was calming which made the room feel like a safe space during our exercises. I would highly recommend taking her classes.
Karen led the session with such ease and calm confidence. She was very organized and took the time to explain each part of the process, which made the experience feel safe and approachable. Her soothing voice and peaceful presence were incredibly comforting. Thanks to her guidance, my first breathwork session was a wonderful experience.
My breath work session with Karen was transformational. She guided me with kindness and confidence, which made it possible for me to really immerse myself in the session. It’s an intense experience, but I noticed an immediate difference in my mental clarity and reduced stress (my objectives for attending).
I can’t wait to to do it again – thank you!
Karen has a skill for explaining her teaching and what is going to happen during the class as well as how it might feel to different bodies. A very calming voice and communication go a very long way and I would go again and again.
This was the first time I silenced my brain in a long time and the breath work made me feel great.
This was my first time doing Conscious Connected Breathwork and I am amazed by what the session did for me. I was skeptical that Karen could help me break through all of my walls, but she did. If you’re someone who likes to always be in control but is open to having a guide make suggestions on a journey-this is for you. It is hard to explain but her careful approach and accessible words allowed me to close my eyes and see from an entirely new perspective. I’m grateful Karen is bringing this service to her communities. She lets you know how to prepare and follows up with you afterwards.
Yes, I had one session with Karen, but I also feel like I’ve started a dialogue with her and she will be a trusted partner in my wellness journey, which feels so reassuring.
This was my first Conscious Connected Breathwork session, so I didn’t know exactly what to expect. Karen explained the breathing pattern, the program, the music, and what I could expect with clarity and precision. As a physical therapist myself, I thought I was prepared for the physiological and neurological responses. I was wrong. I had no idea the depths my mind and body could reach in just one hour using this particular kind of breathwork.
Karen’s skilled guidance and facilitation allowed me to access emotions and stress I didn’t realize I was holding. Her trauma-informed approach is both clinically excellent and deeply intuitive. I’m a convert!
I feel so lucky to have been guided by Karen. She made me feel so comfortable and guided me the whole way, I felt really held by her. I loved how she incorporated my intentions throughout and because of it I had a revelation towards the end of the session – it was so simple how she spoke just hit differently than it has before. Her music choice was great, it brought up some emotions towards the end which felt really beautiful.
I had the least resistance in this session than I’ve ever had, I think I’m finally starting to see physical effects of the accumulation of breathworks – I feel like I have released a lot of tension in my legs which is where I always felt the most resistance. Even walking down the stairs feels easier. Karen beautifully held space at the end for me to ramble on about my experience and my life. 10/10 would recommend!!
