Events and Presentations:
Karen is a licensed therapist who wishes to “build a bridge” between the public, the medical community, and alternative medicine by sharing her knowledge of successful ways to eliminate pain and anxiety. Karen’s “Lecture Series For Health” is a part of that “bridge”. Only by identifying and choosing the correct path for healing can we move past medications and surgery.

2014 Training on Domestic Violence at Safe House in Ann Arbor, MI
Forty hours of training was well spent on learning the effects of domestic violence on women and children. Most men are not abusers, but most abusers are men. To stop the violence silence needs to be broken and we need to listen. Our society continues to blame the woman: "Why didn't she just leave?" But the question needs to be: "Why does HE abuse?" The insidious brain washing to the woman is slow, erroding her esteem over time, and complicated by her love and wish for him to change. Statistically; rarely does he change, even with intensive therapy. When she leaves, the woman is at high risk for being murdered within the next two years. Children can be sexually abused as punishment to the mother. Because of the massive amounts manipulation, coercion, and our societies lack of empathy and support for the woman she will remain in this cycle of abuse for years.
My volunteer work at Safe House is to provide play, fun, and safety for the children. The transformation I witness is phenomenal! Please support your local domestic violence shelter with your money and/or time. Their lives depend on a society that cares.
