For over 20 years, I have been coaching, leading sustainability projects, and offering writing services. About 10 years ago, I added mindfulness practices to my skill sets, and created Mindful Earthkeeper shortly before the Covid pandemic hit.
My Journey
My passion for healing the planet began way back in 2003 when I began working for the CEO of a small nonprofit (Chicago Manufacturing Center) dedicated to serving small and midsized manufacturers. She had a vision that manufacturing in America needed to become more sustainable. I ended up becoming the Director of Sustainability and running an award winning green business program for the City of Chicago.
In 2008, I decided to focus on being a full-time parent, and then in 2015, I became my mother’s Caregiver.
Mindful Earthkeeper shares what I learned from my corporate engagements with Fortune 100 companies, nonprofits and community work, as well as what I have learned as a caregiver and freelancer to offer retreats, classes and coaching.
It’s not too late to create a better life for yourself and those you love.
Vision
Social innovators, Artists and Sustainable Businesses heal the earth as they create prosperity for themselves and their communities around the world.
“Karen is helping me to develop and grow my nonprofit and its mission to decarbonize and clean up our future.”
