Discover a new rhythm for your work & life

Does any of this ring true?

  • You have ambitions, but you are navigating parenting or eldercare; you want to know how to ‘do it all’ without sacrificing your health and sanity
  • You are in the messy middle of change, feeling anxious at times and you want to open yourself up for your next phase in life
  • You’re tired of being tired and operating from the neck up; you may even describe yourself as a ‘head on a stick’
  • You’ve realised that pushing harder or hustling no longer feels like the answer, and you feel something is missing in your life.

Lead with trust, wisdom, and intuition

There comes a moment to pause, reflect, and realign. To breathe deeply, let go of what no longer serves, and design a more expansive, meaningful, and joyful version of success.

But it’s often hard to do, especially if you feel you have been on a fast treadmill for the past few years, juggling multiple responsibilities and working hard through your 40s (sometimes referred to as your achievement years but, in reality, it’s been more like your survival years!).

If you feel you’re ready to embrace a different way forward … a way of working that truly honours your energy … this is where I can help.

I can guide you to step off the destructive hamster wheel of busyness and into a way of leading and living that honours your natural rhythms and energy cycles. You will learn to reconnect with your body, align with your unique flow, and create a new relationship with success … one that is expansive, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling.

This isn’t just coaching; it’s a recalibration of how you show up in life and business.

What to expect

Your Energy: from constant fatigue, pushing through burnout, and feeling drained by your work to reclaiming vitality and learning to operate in alignment with your natural energy cycles, leading to a sense of ease, flow, and resilience.

Your Mindset and Perspective: from viewing slowing down or stepping back as a failure or a loss of momentum to understanding that embracing rest, reflection, and intuition creates space for your greatest ideas, deeper impact, and long-term growth.

Your Leadership: from over-delivering, people-pleasing, and taking on too much responsibility to leading with discernment and boundaries, stepping into your authority, and prioritising what truly matters to you and your vision.

Why clients choose to work with me

I’m a strategist, leadership mentor, sound healing and embodiment practitioner with 30+ years of commercial experience and two decades of running consulting and leadership companies.

I know what it’s like to juggle a growing business, family responsibilities, and the pressures of leadership, all while managing my own energy and health as I transitioned into menopause.

Now, at 55, I’m stepping into my most powerful phase, and my work is rooted in my Serotina philosophy, a belief in blooming later in life and that women in their 50s and beyond can lead with wisdom, power, and renewed purpose.

My approach blends intuitive insight with practical strategies, empowering business leaders and founders to create expansive, energised, and meaningful success that honours their energy and values and my work is deeply grounded in:

  • Energy Alignment: I help my clients realign with their natural rhythm and flow, ensuring their decisions and strategies are rooted in harmony with who they truly are.
  • Intuitive Wisdom: I draw on my ability to sense energy and use intuitive insight to unlock each client’s unique potential and opportunities.
  • Embodied Leadership: I guide individuals to step into deeper, more authentic leadership by letting go of outdated patterns and embracing a more fulfilling way of working and living.

I don’t just solve surface-level problems; I help you create pathways to transformational success that feel deeply personal, sustainable, and joyful.

I am impressed with how well Karen is able to get inside the skin of my business. Not only does she offer her expertise generously and without ego, she does it in a way which both challenges and supports. Her ability to hone in on what is needed NOW in my business, and how she helps me find ways to prioritise that through all my busyness, is so helpful. For the first time in years I feel I am truly working on my business and not just in it. Working with Karen is like having a non-Exec Director in your business and for that I am truly grateful.

Working with Karen as a small business owner was fundamental to both my personal and business growth. Sessions with her felt like someone reached into my brain, tidied up the shelves and left a nice neat post-it note on the side with the things I needed to do! She’s a breath of fresh air – both encouraging and inspiring and with an intuitive sense of what you need to hear to get results without burning out.

Karen’s depth of experience in delivering many levels of business strategy in this format really shone through. She covered everything from the technical side to format, tips, and hints of running masterlcasses to ensure the events I created were engaging and achieved my goals. The value of working with someone so accomplished was worth its weight in gold. No bull-sh*t, straight to the point and jam-packed full of treasure!
