Following injury, yoga lineage, and the rigid path of conventional healthcare, I set out on an educational odyssey. From cadaver labs to a doctorate in Medical Sciences, I am discovering how fascia weaves us into the spiral web of Nature—holding the keys to movement, perception, and vitality.

FASCINATED WITH FASCIA AND NATURE’S PATTERNS?
You bet. I help movement educators connect with the natural science behind rotational biomechanics, so you can focus on bringing next-level understanding into your offering as a teacher, therapist, and curious mover.Â

KAREN AFTER HOURS
- The truth is: I pine for Autumn all year long
because MUSHROOMS. - My biggest body struggle has always been my
feet– fallen arches! - I struggle reading maps… truth is, lost in the woods
is OK with me. - I’ve healed from 4 fractures, 3 knee surgeries and
a punctured gut. - My kids teach me far more about self-regulation than I was ready for.
- I’d love to see the Aurora Borealis but I just can’t seem to get lucky!
