What they say

I've been a therapist for 20 years and Karen teaches me something every time.
Stephen B., Explore More Summit interview, 2016
​
I went to your emotional intelligence training at PPNYC... I found it ridiculously helpful and find myself saying "what would BK say?" whenever I'm looking for the emotionally intelligent thing to say to a youth.
Lynne Nevue, Outreach and Education Specialist, Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York
​
Karen is a wonderful speaker who speaks openly and honestly. It was wonderful to finally be provided with tools for active listening and being empathetic rather than just understanding the definitions.
Biennial Western Canadian Sexual Health Conference, 2016
​
This was the highlight of my conference experience. I left with a different view of not only my LGBTQ clients, but all my clients. 
LGBTQ Competency Tool Box for Family Law Professionals, APCC Conference, 2015

BK, you have the uncanny ability to lead without the listener knowing she or he is being led. Learning is as it should be when that happens. 
Jeffrey Wilson, Family Law Lawyer, Writer, 2014

Very skilled. Great language. I really enjoyed the emphasis on the anti-oppression framework and sex-positive nature of sexual health education.
Youth Work Tool Kit, University of Guelph, 2007

You were able to connect and communicate to the students in a way that was refreshing and relatable. You created an open and inclusive environment that facilitated an impactful experience.
Melissa Nichols, Orientation Events Lead, Ryerson University

Fresh! Honest! Excellent material delivered with power and grace.
Empathic Facilitation, MindCamp, 2014

What I like the most was your openness and honesty, the relaxed vibe, the playfulness and non-judgemental rules.
Sex as a Jam, Good For Her, 2014

I still have students telling me that this was by far the best workshop they've attended, and that your attitude, personality and the delivery were what made it great.
Andrew Bisnauth, Orientation and Events Specialist, Student Life Programs, Ryerson University

Felt very comfortable. I came in thinking I wouldn't talk and talked most of the time. Felt great to be able to share in an open non-biased place. 
Consent in Action, University of Guelph, 2014

It was amazing for me to be given permission to not treat consent in a static black and white manner, but as an ever-changing grey area. I loved this! 
Consent in Action, University of Guelph, 2014

Well done, well organized and delivered. Immediately useful. 
Empathic Facilitation, MindCamp, 2014

You have worked out a sensitive and non-judgmental approach to what can be a highly volatile issue especially for separating families and their children caught in the middle.
