Client Testimonials
“I came to Karen knowing that I'd been struggling with functional freeze for at least a couple of years. I didn't know what to expect, but was hopeful to find help that years of talk therapy has not been able to resolve alone. In only one session, Karen helped me identify physical manifestations of years of stress and begin to process all the trapped emotions. I walked out of our session in the best mood that I've had in years. Two weeks later, I still feel different - I'm identifying and processing emotions and thoughts that I've shoved away for years. It's a not all rainbows and unicorns as they say, but I'm FEELING emotions good and bad and doing something about them now. I look forward to more sessions with Karen.”

“I jumped into somatic stress release not knowing much about it, other than it could help with anxiety, depression, and self esteem. I could never have imagined that working through my suppressed thoughts and emotions would have such a profound impact on my life. It's even helped me with seemingly unrelated things like daily exercise and going to sleep at a reasonable time. And it's all thanks to Karen. Her compassion, enthusiasm, and dedication to her clients are unparalleled. If you have the opportunity to work with her, I urge you to take it. You're in for an incredible journey.”

“My Somatic Stress Release session with Karen was a transformative experience. Before the session, I felt frustrated from spending a week on unfulfilling work, and I was carrying a lot of tension in my chest, neck, and jaw. During the session, Karen provided me with incredibly supportive options to mobilize that tension. She had an intuitive sense of what I needed in the moment, allowing me to follow my own impulses while also guiding me gently. I especially appreciated the moments of pause, which helped deepen the experience. As the session progressed, I felt the tension leaving my body, creating a profound sense of space within. It was remarkable to witness how my voice even changed after releasing that buildup. I wholeheartedly recommend Karen and her Somatic Stress Release sessions. They offer a unique opportunity to reconnect with oneself and find relief from stress in a safe and supportive container.”

“Karen's knowledge and awareness of other people is unique among people I have encountered. Her ability to listen, utilize different skills in real time, and to watch for nonverbal reactions to practices give Karen a unique ability to journey with you while navigating deep vulnerability. There are very few people I trust with vulnerability and Karen has proven herself time and again to handle me with the utmost care with respect for my sensitivities. I appreciate her ability to give space and have a long-term vision for my care. I would highly recommend Karen for anyone looking to be more in touch with their own energy and for those who are struggling with feeling stuck in their own field.”
