Message to clients

Clients who are looking for help with financial health already have an awareness that there is a direct correlation to being in a stressful financial situation and low emotional and mental health. Clients know this because most of them already experience anxiety, sleepless nights, worry, fear and shame around money. They also know they want change and to feel good about money, but are overwhelmed with where to begin.

Working with Karen provides clients with the methods they need to get past unhealthy beliefs, develop a positive mindset about money and to create new behaviors.

Instead of repeating generational patterns of scarcity or fear around money , you create new beliefs that create success and financial freedom.

Instead of unclear goals and anxiety about money you will feel confident and have a plan you can implement.

Instead of thinking I will never have enough," or, "I'm financially behind," you will believe every financial situation is fixable.

Clients who take responsibility for their money situation and participate in change find relief, freedom, joy, peace, and security with money, and themselves.

"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is one of the bravest things you'll ever do" Brene Brown from the the Gifts of Imperfection.
