Karen has pioneered therapeutic voice and breath work for over 35 years. Her
unique hands-on techniques have enabled her to do vocal restoration work with rock singers, diaphragmatic re-education

In March of 1998, using the principles of Breathing Coordination, Karen was able to permanently remove her
comatose husband from his ventilator and guide his easy breathing, in their home, until his death, sixteen
months later. BREATHING COORDINATION continues to be at the heart of her work.
