Welcome!

Hi! I'm Karen, the founder of B. STL and a Certified Health, Life, and Divorce Coach. I’m also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a background in functional movement and holistic wellness. My role is to create space for women to begin anew, to return to themselves in a new or different form.

I come to this work not just through training, but through lived experience. I’ve moved through the loss of my brother, the unraveling and rebuilding that came with divorce, and the realities of single parenting. My own healing has been shaped by shifting from traditional gym culture into a more holistic, functional, and intuitive approach to wellness, one that honors the body’s signals instead of pushing past them.

These chapters taught me resilience, presence, and the power of slowing down enough to hear what your life and body are asking for. Today, I support women who are navigating their own transitions, helping them reconnect with themselves, rebuild from the inside out, and create a life that feels grounded, intentional, and truly theirs.

I named my coaching practice B. STL as a quiet nod to “be still,” reflecting the kind of coaching I offer: grounded in presence, guided by pause, and rooted in transformation.

If this speaks to you, take the step and give yourself the gift of investing in your growth through coaching. This investment gives you a meaningful pause and a chance to reconnect with who you are, what you desire, and the direction you want to move toward.
