Karen has cultivated a personal calling for serving others for nearly 10 years. Her life’s work now is helping others create sustaining value in Life and Death.
Life to End of Life is a personal continuum of beginning, ending and beginning again. We all see and experience Life and Death intimately, differently.
Karen has been coached through the Conscious Dying process herself and has come to see how this beautiful intimate experience elevates one’s quality of life. Long held pain and conflict in all the domains of life (physical, emotional, spiritual, mental and practical) are brought to light and released.
As a Death Doula Karen has helped dozens of individuals and families navigate the Pre and After Death process. She works with those who are terminally ill and actively dying in their personal environments, hospitals, hospice, palliative care programs, elder care facilities or personal care homes.
She is an advocate and learned practitioner of VSED (voluntary stopping eating and drinking) should clients make this conscious choice.
Karen’s work has been described as healing and transformational by individuals and their loved ones.
