Karen - Founder of InnerFlow Coaching

Born in Germany and raised by my dad, I moved to Dubai in 2011. 

Since I was a child, I’ve always loved exercising and generally had a, what you would call, ‘healthy’ lifestyle.

​

In 2019, my dad passed away due to cancer. Reflecting back, I wish I had known more about healthy habits, the power of the mind, well-being and overall lifestyle. 

Pretending that it didn’t affect me; looking back I struggled with grief, guilt and certainly never really processed what had happened.

I felt like a victim, lost and disconnected from myself and relationships around me. Not really knowing what to do or where to start. I was on autopilot and things happened to me, rather than me actually getting clear on what I want and taking ownership.

​

After 2 years, still not even being able to articulate that my dad had passed and having build up a wall around me, something had to change.

If there is only 1 message to be reminded of its that ‘Now’ is the best time to start making changes.

​

In 2021, I enrolled with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (from the US) to become a certified Health Coach. 

The program opened my eyes to many directions. Our wellbeing: mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually is the foundation of our lives. If you don't show up for yourself, you can't succeed.

Doing a lot of self discovery, becoming vulnerable and honest with myself about how I felt and what I, Karen, actually want, transformed my life.

​

One morning in February, I looked in the mirror and I started seeing myself differently. I saw a depth in my eyes, a familiarity and warmth I had never seen before.

I finally connected to myself.

Since then, taking ownership and action allowed for progress and things falling into place. 

​I am at a place now where I truly feel like myself.

​

Mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, I've never felt truer to who I'm meant to be. 

The priority of this transformation has always been my personal journey, but the beauty is, that by becoming truly aligned with myself, its positive ripple effect is naturally influencing those around me and my relationships. 

​

Do I have it all figured out - definitely not. But I am on my journey and I fully trust myself.

I trust myself that I can achieve whatever I set my mind to. I have stronger relationships then ever, I am following my dreams and work towards achieving them - one step at a time.

If I can do it - you can do it.
