We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Karyn Hendricksen. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Karyn below.

Karyn, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

When the world shut down I had just quit a stable job as a life coach and decided to refocus my efforts on my passion and my business. I had clients lined up and everyone cancelled and did not want to receive in-person sessions. My dream was to create content so that anyone in the world could access and benefit from my technique. I decided to create my On Demand Video Program and start teaching classes online even though I knew it could take me a while to build up the amount of members I wanted for stability.

Fast forward two years later and I am proud to say I have members from all over the world engaging in my online live classes and videos!

Karyn, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I have been curious about the human body for as long as I can remember. Specifically I love learning about the muscular system and holistic remedies for optimal wellness. I graduated from The University of Michigan with a B.S. In Kinesiology and then Arizona State University with a M.S. in Kinesiology. I am most rewarded when helping someone recover from pain and injury. After guiding individuals on land and water, I decided to get certified in Muscle Activation Techniques. It was the only modality that helped me personally after experiencing a major car accident. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of clients over the last twenty years and am now able to do that online as well.

I am passionate about my clients being empowered to have the tools to do at home so that they can help themselves whenever and where ever they need it!

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

I have never put a dime into marketing. My business has always been by referrals which is amazing. I put my everything into each client I work with and I believe that has fueled my success.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

My education in the fitness industry focused on “no pain, no gain.” I quickly learned that as we age, have children and different stressors this is not a good quote to live by. Pain creates more stress, inflammation and disfunction in the body and is not what makes us stronger. My method is science-based and gentle, yet powerful in re creating the neuromuscular habits and patterns that lead to lifelong strength and stability.
