Work with your energy (not against it) & grow your business without the hustle
Success isn’t about better time management or your ability to work smarter any more
-
Are you feeling maxed out, misaligned and disconnected from yourself … maybe even describing yourself as a ‘head on a stick’?
-
Are you fed up with being told that you just have to push harder or hustle more to get the results you want … you get stuck in a loop of overextending, thinking you have to match the speed of others?
If you are a female founder who’s ready to embrace a new way of working and living that truly honours your energy … you are in the right place.
Play full out without burning out
The decisions and direction you choose to take yourself and your business start from within; from what your instincts and intuition are already telling you.
But it’s easy to become misaligned and disconnected from yourself, especially during your midlife shifts when you may find your values, priorities, and energy shifting.
And there’s every chance you are too busy and going too fast to hear the whispers.
This is where I come in.
As a business strategy and energy practitioner, I can show you how to slow down without losing momentum, tune in your inner wisdom, and create a sustainable, aligned way of working that honours your ambition and energy.

Hi, I’m Karen Skidmore
I’m a business strategist, embodied wisdom coach, sound healing and embodiment practitioner with 30+ years of commercial experience and two decades of running consulting and leadership companies.
My operations background and strategic thinking blend beautifully with my deep connection to using instinct and intuition, a rare combination of skills in the world of business and leadership.
Having experienced peri-meno-burnout in my 40s, I know the very real dangers of having the wrong kind of business and pushing too hard to achieve goals that weren’t right for me, especially as a woman working through her menopause with our ever-increasing pace of business and life.
Now, in my mid-50s, I’m stepping into my most powerful phase.
My work is rooted in my Serotina philosophy, a belief that we can bloom in our autumn years if we allow ourselves to lead with embodied wisdom.
Looking For Karen’s Sound Healing & Sound Baths?
“Karen not only passed on a feeling of calm and peacefulness, but the sounds she created from her bowls were amazing. I went in feeling a little unsure and came out feeling relaxed, calm and a total convert.”
