Karen was active in athletics in her youth but due to scoliosis and back surgery she was limited to what she could do in her 20's & 30's and was crippled with chronic pain. She decided in her late 30's that she didn't want to live a life of pain and realized she needed to get educated on how to improve her life into a state of wellness. It was a long journey (15 years) but she is virtually pain free and full of energy and continues to learn new skills. Karen is enthusiastic about guiding others onto a wellness journey via exercise, nutrition, education, breathwork, stretching and variety of other modalities. She has three children that keep her very active and embraces life in the Northwoods.
