My name is Karen, and while doing public safety work in a pandemic, I realized my community was having a bad day and my fellow first responders were having a bad lifetime. Counting down the years, months and days until retirement was not the way I wanted my peers to spend their time. I knew then that I needed a larger platform to speak with responders about their own wellness and how they could support each other physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

My passion for teaching what I learned was sharpened while working in the wellness unit of a well known public safety company. After speaking with hundreds of departments and their personnel, I saw pretty quickly that there were some gaps in understanding what wellness could look like, and the challenges of having the staffing to fully address this very important topic. Also, those agencies that had invested in technology to support their personnel, were asking for in-person training to ensure the tools that were provided were as effective as possible.

With over 20 years of experience in consultative strategies, coaching, team building, and results-oriented leadership, I am equipped and ready to help you create and maintain a sustainable wellness program. I offer tailored wellness program assessments for first responders and retirees, as well as wellness playbooks that provide solutions and accountability to help you prioritize and plan for a healthier, happier life and department.
