Bio
Karen’s deepest dream is for us to become more aware that our children are our greatest teachers, especially when they are provided with tools to remain connected to their innate courage and kindness.
For over twenty years Karen has worked with children as an elementary teacher, specializing in the areas of mindfulness, special education, and early literacy. While in the role of Mental Health and Well-being Consultant, she developed social-emotional programming for students in grades one through eight. As a parent coach, Karen facilitated a course she co-created for participants attending the online summit, Parenting Teens in Uncertain Times. Most recently, she published the first in a series of children’s books focusing on developing empathy.

Testimonials from the Field
The course that has been created is structured, easy-to-follow, and breaks what may be seen as big concepts into small manageable amounts that can be learned and practiced a little bit at a time for optimal student learning.
Karen’s extensive training in Social Emotional Learning makes her uniquely skilled to offer such a rich and educational programme.
I remember so vividly the conversation you and your younger son modeled together in one of our classes. I was so inspired by it yet had so many questions! That seed was planted at just the right time though… It’s been a slow awakening but in my efforts to improve my communication skills I was better primed in my own personal growth to take on that next level of communication with my kids that you introduced in class.
