I was in constant pain for the last 4 years. Since starting AT lessons with Karen, I’m so totally pain-free it’s hard to get used to.

My favorite qualities of Karen are her kindness, generosity, honor, fairness, thoughtfulness and unwavering poise. She thoroughly teaches by example. She is great at boosting the student's confidence in their ability to help themselves, giving them autonomy for their own progress.

Suzanne Powell, Training Course Graduate

Learning the Technique with Karen is an approachable, organic experience laced with good energy and fun.

AT has helped me avoid back surgery, improved my balance, and taught me how to prevent sciatica. Thanks so much, Karen, for giving me this insight of the possibility of self-healing. After 18 years of AT lessons, I am still ice dancing at age 77 and loving it!
