Have we met? I’m Karen (she/her)—a National Board-Certified Integrative Health Coach, owner of Sacred Seeds Integrative Health Coaching, former Bone Marrow Transplant Registered Nurse, mother of three amazing young adults, wife… and a woman who has navigated a turbulent perimenopause journey herself.
I’m fiercely passionate about advocating for women’s midlife health, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Over 30+ years of serving in healthcare and caregiving roles—both professionally and personally—I’ve met so many brilliant, capable, and deserving women in midlife who struggle to get real answers from their doctors, face barriers to timely and affordable care, and often feel dismissed or alone in what they’re experiencing.
Perimenopause touches every part of a woman’s life. And without the right support, it can feel confusing, overwhelming, and at times even frightening.
I know this not only through my work—but through my own lived experience.
That’s why I created my coaching practice—to bring together everything I’ve learned over the years and offer women the kind of support I wish I had.
For my daughters.
For my friends and colleagues.
And for you.
My work is grounded in creating a space where your experience is taken seriously, your symptoms are explored with care, and you feel supported in understanding what your body is moving through.
I also support you in preparing for your medical appointments—so you can make the most of your time, ask the right questions, and feel more confident and heard in your care.
Together, we clarify what you’re experiencing and identify what matters most, so you can walk into appointments feeling informed, supported, and better equipped to receive thoughtful, effective care.
Because you deserve to feel seen, supported, and well in your body again.
If you’d like ongoing, gentle support, I invite you to join my email community—where I share thoughtful insights, practical strategies, and encouragement —all curated to help you feel more like yourself again.

Listening to Your Body Changes Everything
I support you in reconnecting with your body’s signals so you can respond with care instead of pushing through and feeling worse.
Together, we shift from willpower and self-override to a more compassionate, sustainable way of living in your body—one that actually supports how you feel.
Feeling More Steady in Your Health and Choices
Health coaching supports you in strengthening self-trust, setting realistic boundaries, and following through on habits that align with your wellbeing.
This creates more consistency in your daily life and supports long-term vitality in a way that feels doable—not overwhelming.
Feel prepared. Feel heard. Get the care you deserve.
I support you in understanding what’s happening in your body—and in identifying the right questions to ask so you feel prepared, confident, and heard in your medical appointments.
Together, we make the most of your time with your doctor so you can receive more thoughtful, effective care.
Supporting Habits That Support Your Health
Health coaching helps you stay connected to the small, consistent choices that support your body through midlife—like nourishing nutrition, regular movement, and caring for blood pressure and overall health.
Instead of striving for perfection, the focus is on building steady, supportive habits that actually fit your real life.
Feeling Like Yourself Again
When women feel dismissed or unseen during perimenopause, it can affect far more than just symptoms—it can impact mood, confidence, and their sense of identity.
Supportive, compassionate coaching can help restore clarity, steadiness, and connection to yourself while you navigate the physical, emotional, mental and hormonal shifts of this transition.
Supporting Your Nervous System Through Stress and Overwhelm during Perimenopause and other Midlife Transitions
Chronic stress can leave you feeling exhausted, wired, and depleted all at once.
Through supportive coaching, you learn how to regulate stress more effectively, reduce overwhelm, and create more space for energy, clarity, and ease in your life —especially during one of life's most significant transitions.

With her kindness and compassionate listening, positivity and acceptance of me for who I am, I felt heard and understood

Like many, in the past I have tried popular diets and they worked for a while but they all had an end date for me due to restriction, expectations not realistic for my lifestyle, etc. Along with that I have also felt stressed in regards to the overload of information out there on “what” we should eat and “why”. I am now taking all I have learned over the years and creating “Laurie’s Diet”…personalized to what works best for “me”. After all, I know myself best right? Your suggestions are all keepers in my book! Like I said above, having perimenopause affecting my life as it is, I needed the reminder of how much a healthier lifestyle can improve quality of life. THANK YOU Karen!
