Karen's journey to living on Lefkada was not a planned one, but has been one of the most fulfilling choices she has made. In 2006 she took a career break from nursing to come to Lefkada and teach yoga full time during the summer seasons. She became the resident yoga teacher and massage therapist for the holiday company, Healthy Options, for 10 summers. During this time she met her husband Joe and after the birth of their son they decided to stay on Lefkada and call this stunning Island their home.

Karen now works for herself and loves the freedom and opportunities this gives her. During the summer months she offers private retreats, massage treatments and teaches yoga on a 1-1 or small class basis in private rental villas in and around the Vassiliki area, and in the South and the West of the Island. During the winter months she continues her online teaching and also teaches in person to the local community and offers massage treatments locally.

Karen loves what she does and gets so much from her teaching. Seeing people connect to their practice and hearing some of the ways in which their life has been transformed is her biggest motivation. Along the way Karen has had the great fortune to study with many inspirational teachers and is deeply grateful to them as they all inspire her teaching on a daily basis. Karen is committed to a life-long study of yoga and bodywork and attends teacher trainings, workshops, retreats, online seminars and self-study whenever possible.
