My interest in sewing garments started this year when I put together a capsule wardrobe and had trouble finding a couple of pieces I wanted. I took Karen’s t-shirt class as a first step into sewing, and it sparked something in me that was unexpected and wonderful! She was the best person to learn to sew from, because anything is possible and her positivity is infectious. I took the t-shirt home and added a hood and I could not love this piece more. It is unique and fits me perfectly! I’m so grateful for Karen’s support and generosity. She set me up to feel successful just by putting me in the right frame of mind, showing me simple tricks and tools that would make my life easier, and empowering me to go for it. Within the 6 months following the class, I’ve made 6 tank tops, 3 shirts, 3 dresses, 4 jackets, 2 skirts, and 2 pairs of pants for myself. I’ve also made pieces for my daughter and plan to make garments for my favorite people at Christmas.

Thank you, Karen. For meeting me where I’m at, encouraging me with your kindness, and demystifying the process. You are really a sewing fairy godmother! I now feel confident to tackle most patterns and have so much fun. This was something I was really intimidated to start, and you turned it into the most empowering and wonderful thing in my year.

Karen is an exceptional teacher. She's able to take the most difficult sewing patterns with the confusing "sew speak" and turn it into understandable instructions that any sewing novice can follow. Her knowledge and experience in the sewing world with all of it's new techniques are boundless. I am in awe of her kindness, patience, talent and her true sense of happiness that shines through in everything she does. What an honor to have been her student.

I had the luck of meeting Karen when she taught a class at my local sewing store. She passed out her business cards during class, and let us know to reach out to her whenever we needed support. Most people offer this support as a nicety, knowing the odds are low someone will follow-up. I asked Karen to validate she really meant it; she said she did. With the green light, I contacted my sewing fairy godmother in the days, weeks, and months following the class. Sewing fairy godmother is not a hyperbole—among other examples, Karen visited my office to counsel me on my first semi-solo forward shoulder adjustment. She genuinely enjoys teaching. I value her expertise, advice, and am even more thankful for her positive support giving me the confidence to take on any sewing related project or business idea I put my mind to.

Karen is my “fairy godmother” of sewing. She has the skills to tackle the most difficult of projects helping to give the project personal flair, and seem very doable. She’s patient, kind, and the best cheerleader for a sewing novice. I have learned so much from her. Her enthusiasm and passion is contagious.

My Gene Keys reading with Karen felt like my best friend illuminated all of the parts of me I've always felt, but had trouble articulating. She helped me see the areas that are my shadow and how I can start to dive deeper to see how they can also be some of my biggest benefits. Everything felt so spot on and it was so rich in information, I was furiously taking down all of the insightful notes! Best of all, was the thoughtfully prepared, in depth workbook that Karen gifted me at the end. It allows you to take your time with the information, discover, and let it all sink in. Karen was already a 10/10 in my book, and this offer further solidified that sentiment!

Working with Karen was an absolute joy! If you are overwhelmed by Gene Keys but are curious to learn more, I highly recommend booking a session with Karen. Her positive, uplifting, and enthusiastic presence kept me engaged and excited as I uncovered deeper parts of myself. She is very knowledgeable about the keys and was accepting of any questions I had. If you’re worried about retaining all of the powerful information, don’t worry because you will receive a thorough document that overviews everything and also includes questions for contemplation. An invaluable resource that I will continue to refer back to. Thank you!

My passion has been Human Design for quite a long time and I've been obsessed with how it points to purpose. Gene Keys was a natural progression to that, but I would often get lost with the dense, often esoteric language and how each key played differently along my Hologenetic Profile. Enter Karen. Our session was beautiful from the start and I just lit up in her presence. The sheer love she has for the Gene Keys was so palpable that I could have been a total newbie and gotten the same level of awareness as I gained. I felt beautiful synergy with my Profile that I hadn't felt before and it didn't stop after my session. Karen ensured that I was well set-up to continue exploring on my own with well-formatted follow up materials that offered so much to reflect on and contemplate - today and over time across all my paths.

Karen magically weaves together a container for you to experience yourself through a transformative lens. Karen's ability to read your gene keys will cause you to reflect upon your life in a way that can only move you forward with admiration for what you've experienced and what you're capable of. Her gentle guiding presence encourages you to connect dots you might have otherwise overlooked and strengthens your relationship to your inner knowing.

I recommend this reading for any humxn at any point: while I didn't come into the session with a particular question or intention, what I received was so abundantly rich with resonance, meaning and love. Can't imagine a more resourceful session. I love the way you provide depth and clarity to the Gene Keys, something I hadn't experienced before through other channels/resources... many good questions and reflection points. There is a magic in the undercurrents that we swam through... non-verbal yet felt and experienced. Seen, especially for this Projector (me!) Thank you so much for holding such a delightful and exploratory container. The tools you provided post-session are so generous and insightful! Just when I was already blown away by the care of our session, you went beyond and offered pathways for more expansion and embodiment. I love that.
