I know life can be stressful at times, but it doesn't have to affect your health!
Hi there!
​
I’m Karen Marie, your wellness advocate, and guide on this journey to less stress, more balance, and a healthier, more peaceful you!
As a Certified Health & Life Coach, Yoga Instructor, and Meditation Facilitator, I help people like yourself manage stress, build sustainable self-care habits, and find balance in their busy lives. I know firsthand how easy it is to put yourself last, but I also know the power of small, intentional shifts that lead to real transformation.
I'm creating a new 9-Week Stress Management & Self-Care Program—to give you the tools, guidance, and support you need to reduce stress, improve resilience, and feel more at peace in your daily life. Through mindfulness, movement, and practical self-care strategies, you’ll learn how to care for your mind and body in a way that works for you—without pressure or perfection.
You deserve to feel calm, energized, and in control of your well-being. Let’s work together so you can stress less, thrive more, and truly Bloom & Live Your Best Life!

Me, my pets (past and present), and
where I prefer to spend my time.
Random Facts!
I said goodbye to my best friend, a 14.5-year-old long-haired dachshund, in October 2023. It broke my heart. I began to meditate twice a day to cope with the grief.
​
I am an animal lover! I want to rescue and foster someday.
I adopted a Mini Goldendoodle in November 2023 because pet free is not for me.
I'm an artist and crafter. View my work at www.EvolveVisualArts.com
​
I'm a Marketing Director by day or night (the schedule is flexible); find me on LinkedIn! ​
​
I am dedicated to diversity and inclusion, and a LGBTQ+ Alli.
I love symbolism, so I chose the cactus flower as my visual because it symbolizes Endurance and Strength.
​
A cactus can survive in extremely arid areas of the desert. Even though the cactus may struggle through its life, someday it will produce and Bloom beautiful flowers.
​
It is a symbol for the people who face struggles and hard times in life but still have the endurance and strength that will allow them to Bloom!
