Hi, I’m Karen

Journalist, health promoter, teacher,
and one of The Mars 100.

I’m here to bring mindful living, meditation and self-care
to the people on planet Earth.

What is wellness, anyway?

True wellness comes from being in tune with ourselves, with the air we breathe, the food we eat, the Earth, the sun, the stars, and the energy field that surrounds us each day.

It comes from calming our minds, releasing stress, and focusing on now.

It also comes from breaking free of the control of giant corporations that make giant profits by addicting us to sugar, fat, salt, chemical preservatives, technology, bad news, and the need to consume “stuff”.

We can make a different choice.

It’s as simple as loving ourselves, caring for ourselves as a spiritual practice, and feeling deep appreciation for our lives.

Ever notice how this mind-set comes naturally to some people?
They seem to be born that way. For others, it can be a quantum leap.

Let’s take that leap together.

Shift your perspective. Know that what you focus on expands.
When you focus on true wellness, you’ll create more of it in your life.

Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. Really.

Workshops and classes are just a click away.

I speak to groups of all kinds about mindful living in this stressed-out world of ours. Check out this short video from The Green Benefits Expo in Burlington, Canada.

Right Brain, Right On!

It's a question I never thought I'd be asking.  How do we thrive in a world that feels like it's falling apart?  There's a global pandemic, a war in Ukraine, staggering inflation, and a real estate market that's just insane.  Yikes! In all of this chaos, it's only...

Years ago, when I was young and looking for answers to life's big questions, I sat across the table from a friend in an Italian restaurant.  We were both the same age, but he seemed to have lived a dozen lifetimes more than I. I peppered him with questions about the...

What Would Wonder Woman Do?

Shopping has taken on a whole new feel thanks to the pandemic, hasn't it?  Sanitize your hands at the door, keep your social distance from the other people in the store, stand on the blue dot on the floor.  Such a different world. I happened to be shopping for a pair...

Kids cranky?  Working from home lost its charm?  Wondering what to make for dinner... again?  Welcome to the global pandemic.  Some days are better than others, I know.  More than a few times, I've dreamt of going on a spa vacation and ... well... just staying there...

Sheltering in Peace

A global pandemic leaves a girl with a little time on her hands, you know?  Time to do things she's never had time for before.  Webinars, for example.  You've probably signed up for one or two of those over the past few months... maybe more. I took one back in May...

 

Testimonials

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of watching Karen speak at an awards banquet for the first time. Her dynamic style, message and delivery really impressed me and the audience. So, when researching speakers for my company’s Benefits Expo, I immediately thought of Karen. Part of our Expo’s focus was to covey new ideas about mindfulness and well-being practices that we could share with our clients… and Karen didn’t disappoint! She took the time to create an engaging and stimulating 50-minute presentation that all our attendees thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend contacting Karen to speak at your next event, or even to host a more intimate gathering of peers. Karen knows how to transform relevant subject matter into an experience that is both personal and enlightening.

Divine Sleep® Yoga Nidra is an easy practice. Karen Cumming’s calming voice guided me with simple instructions to help with breath awareness and body scanning. I found her voice connected me to the practice and kept my mind in the present moment. I was very impressed with the simplicity – so much so that I practice it at home.

At the end of the day, Divine Sleep® relaxes the body and the mind, so that sleep is more sound. My husband enjoys this practice at the end of the day as well.
