“Prior to becoming a coach I was in corporate sales. I knew I wasn’t living my purpose and that I had a deeper calling. When I went through the Life Coaching program at SWIHA I had no idea that this would become my passion and my full-time career.”
Karen chose SWIHA for her education based on the recommendation of a friend. Initially unaware that life coaching would become her true calling, Karen discovered a huge perspective shift during her training. She learned to view every life event as happening FOR her, not TO her, turning her pain into purpose and enabling her to serve others with compassion and empathy.

“My life before SWIHA was…. A LOT of daily crippling anxiety and waves of depression. Not to sound dramatic, because that’s really how it was. During COVID salons shut down, so I couldn’t do hair which had been my main source of income for the 6 years prior. I started making soaps and learning about essential oils I could include for depression and anxiety. This led me to research what else plants could do for my mental health.”

“Before SWIHA, I had two decades of social work experience in the context of non-profit organizations and State Government. In 2009, I had a series of unfortunate, life-altering events occur that made me realize there are gaps in services for people like myself (grieving, going through a divorce and the loss of a parent, and also living away from my family) lacking a support network to help me navigate the process or hold space for my grief. This led me on a search for healing and eventually, I landed in massage school, reiki training, yoga, meditation teacher training, and end-of-life doula classes.”

When reflecting on the season of Spring, thoughts of a fresh start, the world waking up after a long winter, and fresh breezes with blooming flowers flash into mind. Everything feels fresh and new, and the urge to declutter your life from the past year comes to fruition. This can sometimes feel overwhelming. Where do I start? Do I even have the time? Life certainly does not stop for you to take the time to clean through everything you may want to - however - it’s freeing to think about it and to begin anew. We often hear, “A clean space is a clean mind”. Springtime is a great opportunity to declutter your physical space and your soul as well. Here are five ways to cleanse your mind, body, and soul.

“My life before SWIHA was working as a Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Technician. I have always been called to be a caregiver and have studied personal growth for most of my adult life. Several years ago, I stumbled across coaching, and it appeared to be the secret sauce that my life was missing. I love the program SWIHA offers because it beautifully blends physical healing with emotional healing.”
