Beginnings
After retiring from many years working in Corporate America, Karen set out to follow her heart and started Wellness Workouts, which allowed her to combine her passion for exercise and nutrition with her desire to help others learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. Shortly afterwards, Karen was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She credits being healthy and fit prior to her cancer diagnosis with helping her to stay strong physically and mentally through her treatments and recovery. She often admits that cancer is one of the best things to happen to her, as it opened doors to inspire others to take good care of their health so they too can be prepared for anything that comes their way!

She is also a Hospice Volunteer at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park, Minn. and is honored to be a member of the Hospital's Patient Advisory Board. In addition, she volunteers as an instructor for a cancer survivor exercise class once a week.
