available. Tune in to hear Karen's inspiring story and gain

About
Karen: Supporting women to have confidence in their
voices. To embrace their unique perspective and ideas. To
unashamedly own and share their story.
Karen supports women to own the value of their ideas and
perspectives through hosting speaking events.
• Live Storytelling Nights
• WomanSpeak Circle Leader
The experiences she hosts explore what it is that often holds a
woman back. They support women to find what’s in their hearts and
speak from a place of authenticity. Stories shared from a
whole-hearted place are a gift of wisdom and perspective to the
listener, broadening understanding and facilitating meaningful
connection.
Karen’s experience of childhood sexual abuse motived her to begin
telling her story at storytelling events in 2014 to share her
healing experience and break the silent taboo of speaking about
childhood sexual abuse. She now hosts her own storytelling nights
in Melbourne, Victoria.
Karen is currently writing a book that describes her journey of
healing from childhood sexual abuse and the many tools, practices
and modalities that supported her through that journey. Her dream
is to provide retreat spaces for people that have experienced
childhood sexual abuse to soothe and explore their wounds and heal.
So they too can speak from the scar.
