Karen
Passionate About Inspiring Others
Karen is the CEO of Sanctuary LLC, a Transformational Master Certified Coach & Mentor Coach facilitating personal, powerful, growth and change.
As she coaches, Karen finds herself most curious and intuitive, not just about a client’s existing ‘life operating system’ and upgrading it or putting fixes on the bugs in cosmetic way, but rather shining a light on the operating system itself—going beneath the waterline to see what really matters, what core belief has them stuck, what mindset is no longer serving them, that may be unpacked together—evoking great new awareness that illicit hope, resilience, progress, and personal peace. It’s a miraculous and beautifully fun space to play in, says Karen. She believes heart fully that one insight can change one’s perceptual world and way of being in it!
Her passion and purpose is to walk alongside high aspiring people who want to deeply serve and get more aligned in order to do so.
As Mentor
Karen particularly enjoys coaching coaches and mentoring those seeking their ACC, PCC, and MCC credentials. She works to help coach mentees realize their style, presence, intuition, and capabilities so they can up-level their spaciousness and way of being, embody a coaching mindset, and move along the path to mastery, from ACC to PCC, or PCC to MCC, and as well to understand the nuances of mastery in a way that prepares them individually for the scenario-based new ICF Coach Credentialing Exam.

She is CEO of Sanctuary LLC, and is an EAP Provider for United Health. She has worked with global executives and mid-tier management teams from companies such as Pinterest, Facebook, Linked-in, Uber, Morgan Stanley, Google, Meta, Initiative, Jazz Pharma, Chubb, BMW, and more.
