Karen has completed a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy), a Bachelor of Arts in journalism as well as Yoga teacher training certificate.

She seeks to understand the deeper underlying causes of disease and aims to bridge the gap between modern science and traditional healing philosophies to best serve her patients and their quest for health and wellbeing.
