Music is Karen’s first love. She began taking piano lessons after becoming enamored by a neighbor’s piano at age of four. She learned to read music before she could read words. Through grade school and high school, she played the piano insatiably, also learning to play clarinet, bassoon, flute, saxophone and the recorder. Her musical path led her to become a classical pianist through her degree at the prestigious Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. She has been teaching piano for the past 39 years. 

Karen’s interest in energy work comes from a natural progression of her lifetime of interest in music: it was a new way to work with vibration. She received a Sound Healing Practitioner Certification from the Globe Institute Sound Healing Center and has been a practitioner since, both individually and through the Seattle Sound Temple. She has also received education in traditional Reiki methods, which naturally integrated into her vibration-focused healing practice. 

Now Karen combines the healing energy of Reiki and the vibration of sound to help clear her clients of stuck energy and emotions, freeing them for a more vibrant and health-full life. Her primary endeavor is to help people experience their own harmonic perfection.
