Comments on: "About" (1)
Karen is known for her work in marginalized communities, working with individuals living with the effects of a physical or emotional challenge, in aging populations and in discussing sex throughout the lifespan. When dealing with various medical conditions, she suggests a holistic approach incorporating: the use of natural remedies (supplements, flower essences, herbs, homeopathy), diet, nutrition, bodywork (chiropractic, reflexology, shiatsu) and breath. Karen comes from a sex-positive perspective working with all gender orientations and levels of kink awareness.
Karen has appeared on radio discussing sex and the effects of living with a physical or emotional challenge (Sex City, CIUT 89.5 FM, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) and regarding sex and aging (Flirty, Fifty, Nifty Seniors Show, Blog Talk, California, USA). She regularly presents her seminars to various health-oriented agencies and educational institutions, most recently speaking at the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Karen is also an erotic writer. She occasionally shows off her dramatic side when reading her pieces to an audience. Her work has been showcased at Oral: Adventures in Erotica (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).
Anyone who has attended her seminars would agree that Karen has a twisted sense of humour. Not long ago, Karen was wildly received, as she conducted a 3-part series of sex education combined with comedy.
Karen is also a vocal advocate for social justice and equality rights and does a lot of behind the scenes work for many agencies involved in government funding and policy directives.
What Karen is probably best known for is her ability to problem-solve sexual dilemmas. She successfully ran an on-line sex advice column. Karen addressed all aspects of sexuality but particularly enjoys discussing: anal sex; aphrodisiacs; BDSM for beginners; BDSM on a budget; better sexual communication; cunnilingus; fantasy; fellatio; fetish; fingering; fisting; food and sex; hand jobs; the impact of hormones at every age on sexual health and wellbeing; infertility; kink for beginners; kinky crafts; living with the effects of a disability or illness; natural remedies for various medical and sexual conditions; PMS, pregnancy, peri- to post-menopause; self-esteem; sensual massage; sensory play; sex toys for everyone; sexual contracts; STIs and safer sex.
Karen enjoys presenting to small and large groups alike. She is aware that people learn information in different ways. As a consequence, she orients her classes to both the visual and hands-on learner with demonstrations performed on live models, cyberskin or silicone vagina and/or penis models. She also uses Powerpoint slides which detail useful strategies and techniques to try, often presented in a humorous way. This tends to relax participants and encourage discussion.
Karen will also tailor courses to your organization or business. She has presented on many topics about sex and sexuality other than those detailed here. Please don’t hesitate to contact her via e-mail or by telephone to discuss your needs. You can reach Karen by cell at: 613-798-3688. Her company is named Kandor Inc. which can be reached via e-mail: kandorinc@xplornet.ca
