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.

Love Yourself. It’s the Law.

If there's one thing I know about Earthlings, it's that they love to laugh.  How many times have you caught yourself howling at an old re-run of "I Love Lucy"?  Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory...  Lucy stomping grapes in Italy... the list goes on.  But making...

Feeling stressed?  Welcome to life.  Personally, I think the world is wired to encourage stress so that lots of different companies can make lots and lots of money. Think about it.  What do we Earthlings do when we're feeling stressed?  We turn to wine, beer, liquor,...

Sugar Shack

The next time you go to the Dollar Store, take a minute to notice what I call the "Wall of Sugar": bags of candies hanging from little silver hooks, and boxes of chocolate bars sitting in tidy sugary rows.  Not to mention the Betty Crocker icing, Pop Tarts and cookies...

Pop music.  It's catchy, sure, but have you ever noticed how it sometimes focuses on the past and what went wrong there?  Think of The Beatles and "Yesterday", or Adele and "Hello".  The melodies are beautiful, but the lyrics are filled with sadness and regret. ...

We Get What We Look For

Wouldn't it be great if we were constantly surrounded by love?  Nothing but positive vibrations, loving words and intentions swirling around us from sun-up to sundown?  Last time I checked, the world we live in was a little more cranky than that.   Nuclear war,...

 

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.
