She has studied with and assisted for Kathy Kain’s Touch Skills trainings.

Karen began her bodywork practice in 1991. She felt drawn to further explore and understand the body mind system that continued to reveal itself through her direct practice.

Her experience as a life long art maker informs her work with the body/mind through clear parallels of non-linear paths of resolution that healing can take.Her study of weaving translates as well to working in the somatic experiencing way. Weaving is a beautiful metaphor, finding and combining strands of experience, weaving or reweaving towards a healing resolution.
