About Karen

Food, travel, yoga, walking, swimming, nature, beauty + design

These are things I love and are the passions through which I curate experiences for you.

​This journey began in 2004 when I was raising young children and teaching French cooking classes in my Provençal-style home in Northwest Arkansas highlighting organic ingredients from local farms.

Eventually, my body began protesting rich food, and health issues surfaced, which I was able to heal through a shift in diet.

As a graduate of the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate Program from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and Cornell University, and after having adopted a whole food plant-based lifestyle largely free of extracted ingredients, such as sugar and oils, I am convinced of the power of whole plant nutrition on the human body. That we can prevent, and even reverse, a health condition by changing our diet is empowering.

Healthy choices are often easier to make at home than while traveling. Through holistic travel, I afford individuals with the chance to uphold their well-being throughout every aspect of a journey. As a French-speaking dual citizen, I design small group “insider” tours abroad curating activities that nourish different facets of our being. We become vital and alive. That’s when the magic happens.

Besides helping you feel better and get the most out of life, cherished moments for me include time with family and friends, yoga, walking, hiking, swimming, reading, learning, sunsets, and gazing at the moon and the stars.
