Curating a Legacy of Wellness, Art & Design
Welcome
My passion is rooted in guiding others to rediscover themselves through wellness, art, design, and transformative travel experiences. With a background as a wellness guide, yoga instructor, and curator of luxury art and design journeys, I weave creativity, mindfulness, and purpose into every experience.
Born in New York City to a European-American family, my ancestors immigrated to Ellis Island in the early 1900s from Hungary, Poland, and Italy. Growing up on the East Coast, spending time in the Southeast, and eventually settling on the West Coast in Seattle, my journey has been deeply influenced by my Italian heritage. The artistry, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance of Italian design have shaped my approach to both art and interiors, inspiring a passion for creating spaces and experiences that evoke beauty, warmth, and connection.
As an artist, painter, curator, registered yoga teacher, and experienced boat captain, my approach is inspired by the fluidity of energy, emotional release, and balance—whether in art, fashion, wellness, or life itself. With years of experience leading transformative journeys worldwide, I’m here to help you uncover a life infused with clarity, beauty, and renewal.
Guiding you to reconnect with yourself through art, wellness & transformative experiences.
Guiding you to reconnect with yourself through art, wellness & transformative experiences. For women entering a new chapter of life—navigating hormonal changes, menopause, or stress—this is your moment to prioritize yourself. I specialize in helping women let go of daily demands and reconnect with their passions and purpose.
With expertise in women’s wellness, art, and transformation, I create luxury retreats, curated tours, and design experiences tailored to restore balance and vitality. Let me help you embrace this stage with clarity and intention.

Art has been a guiding force in my life, shaping how I see the world and experience beauty. With a background in painting, curation, and interior design, I’ve spent years curating journeys that blend culture, creativity, and inspiration.
From Italy to New York, I’ve studied, exhibited, and immersed myself in the world’s most exquisite art and architecture. Now, I bring that passion to exclusive art and interior design tours, helping others connect with the transformative power of art, design, and functional sculpture.

Testimonials
I worked closely with Karyn at Northwest Hope and Healing for the last 5 years while I was a board member and then President and she was Executive Director. I can honestly say that she was a pleasure throughout.
She is a dedicated and passionate leader with strategic expertise. During those 5 years, we double our revenues and gave nearly $800,000 to local women with breast or gynecological cancer to support their day to day needs.
She left the organization far stronger than it had ever been, financially secure and poised for continued growth. She was even generous enough to stay on and help is with recruiting a suitable replacement.
She is fantastic to work with, easy to connect and collaborate with. She will be a valuable asset for any organization fortunate enough to engage her.
Tanya Wahl
Medical Director Swedish Cancer Institute
I had the privilege of working closely with Karyn for 7 years while on the Board of Directors for Northwest Hope and Healing. Karyn is a dedicated and passionate leader with strategic expertise.
During her 5-year tenure with NWHH, we doubled our revenues, gave back $765,000 to local women who are undergoing breast or gynecological cancer treatment and expanded our impact and reach to a much broader community. Karyn left the organization the strongest it’s ever been, in secure financial standing and poised for the next phase. Karyn is incredibly easy to work with, a collaborator and connector. It’s hard to see her go! Everyone that worked with her will miss her. If you are looking for a leader to help your organization, you will not be disappointed.
