Hello, I'm Karen. I'm happy we've crossed paths!

Currently, I am a midwifery student in Portland, Oregon. I'm also a big fan of herbalism, botany, gardening, painting, and learning tunes on the violin. I am a lover of food that feels poetic, flocks of birds, and a nice cup of tea.

I’m curious to learn where your feet have been before landing at my doorstep.
