I’m Karen, a mom of three, an environmental scientist, an educator, and a lifelong advocate for healthy living and wellness. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Studies and a Master’s in Education, and I’ve been fortunate to live all over the country and travel much of the world. Originally from Central New York, I now share life’s adventures with my husband in sunny South Florida, and together we’ve built a family that values curiosity, balance, and wellness.

​

Clean living became more than an interest; it became a necessity after I was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases, mold toxicity, and Lyme disease. Through my own journey of research, recovery and resilience, I discovered how profoundly our environment affects our bodies. That’s why A Safer Haven was born - to help other families make informed, meaningful changes that create healthier homes.

Here, I combine my background in environmental science and education with my passion for holistic health, translating complex information into practical, family-friendly guidance. When our homes are safe and healthy, our families can truly thrive.​
