About Karen Ann
Founder. Nervous System Mastery Coach.Ā
Hi! I am Karen, founder of Karen Ann Wellness and a Board-Certified Wellness Coach specializing in nervous system mastery. I equip leaders and organizations to move beyond burnout and reactive leadership into sustainable performance, resilience, and authentic presence.
A Journey Forged Through Experience
My path began nearly three decades ago, not with a business plan, but with survival. Recovering from anorexia and learning to reconnect with her body, yoga became her first practice of embodiment and presence. I soon became a sought-after teacher, recognized for guiding people beyond surface-level techniques and into deeper awareness.
My professional journey expanded into leadership roles across one Fortune 50 and two Fortune 200 companies, where I thrived under pressure but also experienced the hidden costs of overwork, perfectionism, and cycles of exhaustion. These challenges became the catalyst for my deeper search.
Discovering the Missing Link
That search led me to nervous system regulation and parts work approaches that went beyond mindset alone. By rewiring my own stress responses, I transformed how I navigated conflict, pressure, and high-stakes leadership moments. What emerged was a new framework for change that was rooted in the body, proven in business, and sustainable in practice.
The Work Today
Now, I bring together neuroscience, somatic practices, and business strategy to help individuals and teams thrive from the inside out. My clients donā€™t just learn to handle stress they redefine their relationship with it, discovering that true resilience and clarity arise from a foundation of well-being.
Author & Thought Leader
Karen is also the author of From Reactivity to Resilience, where she shares her framework for creating lasting change from the inside out. As a speaker, consultant, and coach, I deliver a clear message:
Success should feel as good as it looks, and you donā€™t have to sacrifice yourself to achieve it.
