I felt seen, heard and understood by Karen. Her authenticity made it easy to be with her. Her genuine compassion for me, and I imagine for all of her clients, was evident, and she made it safe for me to share some of my more private issues with her, allowing me to expand not only professionally, but also personally. Karen took the time to find out about me by asking questions that brought out parts of me I didn’t know were there.

My investment in working with Karen Solomon as my coach has paid off in spades. She encouraged me to see myself in different, more powerful ways and I’ve integrated this into both into my massage practice and my personal relationships.

I can’t thank you enough for coming to my rescue. I love my new image and get compliments and double takes all the time. What surprises me most is how quickly my new image has made a positive impact on my professional life. It was really awesome to have my new wardrobe in place for my work offsite planning retreat. Thanks for fitting me in.

Karen assisted me in recognizing the value of upgrading my wardrobe so that my physical presentation is congruent with the bigger professional role I have now. Knowing I look great gives me a boost of confidence… and this is critical when I solicit funding for my company. Karen’s humorous, assertive and straightforward approach, combined with her savvy sense of style, really got the job done. It was a pleasure to work with her, and I’m looking forward to our next shopping experience.

Karen Solomon got me launched on a new, emotionally healthy path in my life. When I first started working with her, I was in a difficult marriage. I was feeling lonely and very concerned because I had two little girls and was facing the possibility of a divorce and being a single mother. Karen got me in touch with the power and support available by having women confidantes, the importance of being in clear communication with others, and getting on a path to what truly matters in my life. I attribute the coaching I did with Karen to getting me on track to a more fulfilling, meaningful and joyful life.

Karen coached me in my role as Executive Director of Living Routes for several years. Because we’re located in Massachusetts and Karen is in the Bay Area, we worked primarily on the phone twice a month. In addition to talking about my business responsibilities, Karen coached me on other aspects of my life as well.

Karen coaches from her whole self and brings forth authentic growth in others. She is passionate, proactive, and positive. Whether you are exploring intimacy, health issues, or your image in the world, Karen’ eclectic wisdom and experience is sure to help you succeed in your life intentions.

The combination of instant friendship and practical teaching makes Karen a wonderful guide, coach… actually, I’m not sure what to call her. I am sure, however, of my gratitude to her. The months I’ve spent working with Karen have shifted stuck energies and bottled up emotions while transforming dead attitudes of myself that were taking up valuable space in my life for the past decade, perhaps longer.

Another thing that can be said about Karen: transparency and openness come to her without any effort. She is very good with people perhaps because she is so good with herself. She’s a good coach and she will supply you with useful tools, but she’s also big-hearted, courteous, and caring.

I am so thankful to her and would like to recommend her one hundred percent to anyone, man or woman, wanting to connect faster, better and more directly with other people.

When I got invited to the Oval Office, I knew I had to enter with confidence. I wanted a look that was respectful but not stodgy and that really reflected what I’m about.

Karen made it happen.

I went to a party last night and knew I was the best-dressed person there! I don’t think that would have been true before working with Karen. It’s really making a difference! I am more conscious about what I’m wearing and it feels great to know I look better. Karen educated me about how to shop and put together ensembles in ways that best support who I am and what I’m up to.

She also assisted me in packing for my trip to Europe. I never would’ve been able to know what to take and what would fit into the small amount of luggage I allotted myself. Karen, thank you. You do such good work, and it’s been fun getting to know you!

Helene Zenia, Cosmetologist and Investor

Normally a day of shopping leaves me exhausted, often empty-handed and frustrated. And my closet stays in the same sorry shape it was before I ventured out. But when I shopped with Karen, I didn’t get worn out! It was actually fun, and we accomplished everything we set out to do and then some. I’m excited about my new wardrobe, and the fact that we cleared my closet of clothes that no longer serve me. Because Karen had such a good eye, my eyes can rest!

Janine Sternlieb, Marketing, Abacus Financial and Mother

Karen started out by assessing who I am, what I like and what makes me feel comfortable professionally and in my personal life. Because she took the time to determine who I am and what I’m up to, as well as how I want to show up in all aspects of my life, Karen was able to assist me in buying clothes that allowed my being to shine through more powerfully and with more presence than ever before. My new wardrobe helped me feel a lot more confident while dating, and I really enjoyed working with Karen!

Karen Solomon is a wizard at helping you bring out the power of who you are through clothing. The experience of working with her was actually fun—and I’ve never said that about shopping or about clothing before. I love everything we bought together, and because she insisted on my investing in high quality items, I am sure I’ll be wearing them for a long time, amortizing all costs! Getting the right stuff without wasting time and with someone who is totally astute and objective, makes Karen the best person to go to for image consulting and wardrobe design.

Karen Solomon is a rare healer. She helped me express who I am by teaching me how to shop for clothes I like and which helped me have a more positive impact in the world. She helped me break through my resistances so I can dress for success. The inner me and the outer me are now one. What a pleasure!

We are constantly giving first impressions—whether it’s meeting someone new or arriving into a scene with familiar faces. Because of this, it’s important to me to communicate professionalism and be certain that I am dressed appropriately for an occasion. When Karen and I went shopping together, she had me try on outfits I never would have seen on my own, but once she put the pieces together, I loved them. Karen is exceptionally skilled at bringing the right colors, textures and styles together for a balanced wardrobe. I highly recommend her services.

I had such a great time with you and with my clothes – truly eye opening for me. I have never had anyone go through my closet with me before, assisting me in weeding out what no longer serves the woman I have become, and creating new ensembles that I wouldn’t have thought of. The person you are and the customized service you provide to women are awesomely effective in celebrating the feminine. I look forward to shopping with you!

Melanie Chepenuk

I really appreciate your professionalism that shines through from the prep work, to your knowledge about what works for which body type and personality, to how you model your own style and clothing. You walk your talk and dress your tresses! It was also FUN. You truly mean it when you say you can find new outfits in my closet. I thought, certainly not MY closet but I’m delighted that you knew how to find the new outfits in my wardrobe. Thank you so very much. I am so excited to try out all new ways of dressing that you taught me.

Dear Karen,

I am grateful for the exquisite role you played in my “coming of age” process. For months I felt disconnected from how I was presenting myself in the world. I mostly noticed what clothes didn’t fit anymore, or seemed too young for my age (57) or in some way felt outdated to an emerging sense of myself. I am grateful for the wisdom that I’ve gained over the years and wanted my style to reflect something true about me, congruent with who I had become. I hadn’t realized how vulnerable that process would be. To consider my new style I had to really reflect on who I am, and who I want to be!

Somehow you created a safe, fun space to explore colors, feelings, images and experiences and left me with a wardrobe that celebrates authentically and with great style the woman I had become, and want to reflect in the world.

Thanks to you, I have a range of professional, cozy, sexy, casual, elegant attire, with accessories that multiply the options for each garment. I feel contemporary and “put together” and I love how responsive people have been….everywhere from : “What’s different about you?” to “Wow! Where did you get THAT?!?!?”

My husband is unabashed in his delight. He is enjoying my look, my confidence, and my comfort. At the end of one day recently he said, “You and Karen really accomplished your goal of finding beautiful way to express yourself.”

For that, and the sweet fun of our time together, my sincere thanks.

I hope you are thriving and that you feel the satisfaction of a job really well done!
