Although I commend all doors into Mindfulness - don't be fooled by others. What I offer is the authentic 8 week mindfulness-based stress reduction course as developed by Jon Kabat-Zin over 40 years ago. Having had the good fortune to have trained with most of the senior teachers who founded this transformative standardized program, including Jon,
I'm passionate as an experienced, certified (Brown University) Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher, to gently guide and support you so that you too can experience all the well reported health benefits of having a mindfulness practice you may have heard of.
I am going to dispel some of the myths around this ubiquitous word 'Mindfulness' and serve you with some practical resources and tools for overall better mental and physical health. It will offer you a fresh approach to all aspects of your life, including the challenging, so you might experience more joy and ease day -to-day. ...working towards being the best of wonderful YOU!

I want you to know you have landed at the right place.

MBSR with Karen has given me the resources, strength, and clarity to be an active participant with the obstacles that come up in life. It's the medicine I needed - valuable tools have been learned to really let go of pain and unnerving, habitual self-torture.
~Past participant, Chris R~
I began teaching because MBSR and meditation had a deeply personal impact on healing in my many aspects of my life. Join today and see for yourself - how Mindfulness practice supports us to familiarize ourselves with a clear and accurate way of seeing things to better calm our stress levels or our usual habitual reactivity.
I'm looking forward to supporting you on this transformative journey. Find connection and meaning again - this what so many participants have reported over the years. I invite you to sign up for whichever instruction suits your needs, There's the 8 week MBSR course, work with me individually, or 'Mindfulness in the Workplace'. I also invite you to visit the other pages in this website for more detailed information and inspiration (click on the menu at top of page).

and that when we no longer know which way to go,
we have come to our real journey.

"Karen, I want to take a moment to personally thank you for all you do. You have no idea how much of an impact you have made in my life ever since I joined the group Thursday sessions, and then even more so since I have started your MBSR course. My life is more effortless, pleasurable, and healthy. I will take the practice you are teaching me with me for the rest of my life and I know it will take me places that I would not have been able to venture into otherwise. ~ N.F.
