My passion for wanting to share mindfulness meditation with others grew from my own personal journey of healing, I knew I had to investigate and nurture this practice further and eventually teach MBSR. I am continually in awe of the healing power that resides within each and every person. It is an honour and privilege to companion people on their healing journey”.

MBSR
I felt very safe and supported in this class. It was obvious Karen cared deeply about the participants experience and progress. Karen is living the practice and it shows by how she modelled and exemplified the qualities mindfulness practice seeks to develop: she is kind, empathetic, and non-judgmental. … Karen was always prepared and obviously familiar and comfortable with the course material. I would highly recommend this course as taught by this teacher.

What does it mean to be fully human? Meditation practice has a huge amount to say about that. It’s a big gateway into the adventure of discovering who you are and what it means to be human. When all is said and done, mindfulness is really about wisdom, about discerning what is really,really, true from what is mere appearance, or what you’re attached to because you want it to be true. This is where humanity needs to go.
