She combines the best of theology, positive psychology, neuroscience, and practical wisdom to help Catholics embrace true happiness and step into the next season of life with renewed energy and purpose.  Engaging and insightful, Karen brings a fresh perspective to every subject. You will find yourself saying, “I’ve never thought about it that way before!”

 

The founder and CEO of Themelios Coaching and co-host of The Catholic Midlife Podcast, Karen is passionate about supporting Catholics in healing old wounds, creating new habits, and rewiring their brains to support their spiritual and personal renewal. She is on a mission with her spouse of 22 years, Curtis Herbert, to spark a Catholic Midlife Renewal and guide midlife Catholics into the next purpose-filled, hope-infused season of life. Their family's journey through chronic physical and mental health issues and the challenges of seeking holiness in the modern world created in them a determination to discover the keys to integrating their mental, emotional, and social well-being with their spiritual faith.

 

Karen has an M.A. in Theology from the University of Notre Dame and certifications in COR.E Energy and COR.E Dynamics Coaching, Positive Neuroplasticity, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming/MER. In addition to coaching and parenting three young adults, Karen loves to quilt, research, and visit the beach.
