Karen\u2019s grief journey began in 1999 when both of her parents were diagnosed with their respective cancers within four months of one another.

She found it difficult to physically process the intensity of her grief despite operating her practice as a licensed massage therapist, receiving regular body work, and meeting with a trained grief counselor.

Years passed, along with more deaths, grief, and heartaches. Karen thought the growing intensity of her physical reaction from these losses were normal and were expected if one lived a life connected with others.

That all changed in 2023 when she intuitively applied somatic techniques to address her body\u2019s physical reaction to grief. Since that time, she has found tremendous healing guiding others through the pain she has had the courage to process.

Karen resides in Portland, Oregon where she attended East West College of the Healing Arts. She has a tricolor corgi named Winifred who wants to be loved on by all good humans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
