Karen’s husband Kenny died suddenly, and she knows that without the love and support of the senior population she worked with, she would not have been able to heal as quickly as she did. She decided that she would spend the rest of her life being in service to others, especially around death and dying, as a way of giving back to those who supported and listened to her.

Karen has an extensive background with over 20+ years elder care, including dementia care, hospice, mental health and other elder health issues. She is a passionate advocate for seniors and their families.

Karen is a trained End-of-Life Doula and a David Kessler Certified Grief Educator. She works for Life Changes Elder Care Consulting.  Karen really wants to help people have difficult conversations around the kitchen table vs the hospital bed. Her favorite saying is “Hope is not a plan!”
