About Karen

I started babysitting, pet sitting & doing yard work around age 13, so 30 years ago! While I babysat on & off for 20 years, I've really enjoyed caring for animals & people's homes again the last few years, mutually supporting one another. Been a massage therapist for 12 years, but shifting out of that from full time to occasional & trying to get back on my feet after the big shifts. I have extensive experince, including two years of AmeriCorps after college (one tutoring, then Conservation Corps), office work, yard work, farm work, volunteering, cashiering, house cleaning, tutoring, working in schools, traveling, leading small circles & gatherings, & being of service to the Earth & Her creatures. I'm open to one-time gigs, short or longer too. Originally from Portland, I'm loving deepening in Ashland & look forward to helping support your journey!
