A natural born seeker of truth, health and happiness she has developed a unique blend of creativity, diet, exercise, and mind/body consciousness. With understanding of the connections between our bodies, our food, our spirit, our past, and our emotions we are better prepared to navigate the world in front of us.

She was a participant on Extreme Warrior Reality TV in 2009. She holds 3 National Championships in Personal Watercraft racing. Her experience with high level sports has taught her the importance of resiliency. We all have heard the greeting “Namaste”. The Na in Namaste is the act of bending forward as we greet someone with humility. After bending forward, we spring back to upright position. Like a blade of grass, we bend in the wind, but we don’t break. Yoga and Ayurveda teach us that resiliency is a key ingredient to a healthy happy life. Karen is the founder of Bending Blade Healing Arts.
