Karen Stoneman grew up in Rhode Island as the youngest of five children. From an early age, she was enthralled by her mom’s animated storytelling voices and eagerly anticipated each trip to the library. She grew to savor reading any book that she could get her hands on, including those of her older siblings.

A passionate believer in the mind-body-spirit connection as an adult, Karen felt as if the pieces of a giant puzzle came together when she was introduced to Ayurveda. This ancient science of health and wellness centers around the concept that opposites create balance.

It is Karen’s sincere pleasure to introduce the concepts of balance and self-care to a younger audience through another love of hers - animals!
