Who I Am
I’m Karen.
Writer, movement guide, energy translator, and the human behind EFK Playground.
I don’t sell wellness.
I build bridges — between your body, mind, energy, and common sense.
I’ve spent decades helping people heal, move better, and become more of who they actually are — not who the system told them to be.
I’ve worked with world-class athletes, CEOs, artists, and everyday humans trying to find their way home to themselves.
Because it turns out, no matter your title — your body keeps the receipts.
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about reintroducing you to your own damn brilliance.
And no, I don’t have it all figured out.
I’m just someone who lives this, who keeps experimenting, who keeps becoming.
Origin Story
I didn’t start here.
I started in the warrior arena — training bodies, fixing problems, teaching people to power through.
But life softened me.
Loss, grief, a few personal apocalypses — they all pried my hands off the sword.
And instead of a battlefield, I found myself on a playground.
That’s where I live now.
Writing the manuals we never got.
Building tools that remind us what it means to be human — joyful, whole, and wildly capable.
I still have the warrior in me.
But these days?
I move like Karennina.
And we’re just getting started.
