“Deciding to work with Karen Walker, an Integrative Health Coach, was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Making a commitment to improve myself was both exciting yet a bit intimidating. Really focusing on the areas in my life that needed attention versus those that were thriving was vastly insightful. Being able to prioritize the things that are important to me was also significant.
Through our work, I have become much more mindful in many ways — from what I put into my mouth to how I communicate with my family. Being more in touch with my personal goals, emotions and desires and addressing situations accordingly has made my life more productive and less stressful. I know I am communicating better and trying to see other perspectives. Rather than just reacting to things around me, I now try to understand them and be more sensitive to others and myself.
I love the renewed commitment I feel to the things that are important to me. Mostly I look forward to the positive changes I make when I am able to talk things through with Karen in a non-judgmental, objective and positive environment. I have a growing confidence in taking time for me and know that in the end it benefits everyone around me.
Many thanks, Karen!”

“Through coaching, Karen structured the time and space for me to understand what parts of my life could improve while helping me see those elements that are true assets. Her ability to put my jumbled and non-cohesive thoughts into tidy packages helped me conceptualize a better future. She challenged me to put mindfulness into my daily routine and kept me accountable to the promises I made to myself.”

“As I have journeyed through my life, I unconsciously took many wrong turns and followed other’s paths that were not my own. I got so lost I didn’t know or trust myself enough to make my own good choices free of judgment or fear. Through my strong faith, I knew in my heart I could do better with my life but didn’t know where to begin. I was thankfully recommended to Karen Walker for support and health coaching. Karen has done an amazing job of helping me reprioritize my goals and core values and she helps keep me focused on them. She has listened to my wants and needs and has been there to give me the confidence to believe in myself. She even takes it further to encourage me to live the life I want and to be forgiving yet accountable to myself. From being lost in the woods, I can now own my reality in acceptance with knowledge, grace and ease. I cannot thank Karen enough for being a guiding light!”

“Thank you Karen! You have been a major source of support for me. I am forever grateful. You have a true gift for getting to the heart of the matter and calling me out when I start to fall into old habits I am trying to break. Life is always going to be a work in progress, but having you there to guide me and cheer me on from the sidelines has been a gift. You were always professional and at the same time open and genuine. I saw how much you cared about my struggles and progress and appreciated the extra check-ins and update requests that both kept me focused on my wants and needs as well as made me feel truly supported. I know I can always look to you to tell it like it is, but in a sensitive and meaningful way. You were skilled in guiding me through mindful meditations and visualizations as well as helping me to create checklists for challenges I was facing, allowing me to gain a sense of control to the point where I felt armed and ready for what lay next in store for me.
In short: You rock!
Much love and gratitude to you always.”
