Karen McPhail-Bell

I believe that creativity is the ultimate facilitator and sign of health and freedom in a community, and that we need more of it. At the heart of all my work is creating healthier communities — for all.
As an ICF-certified coach, I empower values-driven professionals to lead with creativity and wellbeing - so that they can redesign their life and career in ways that nourish them and the world they dream of. My art explores what it is to be in relationship to each other, and to a place and space. Through poetry, mixed-media painting and research, I reflect and amplify what I see and believe is possible in our relationships. After ~25 years of research and practice regarding health and community, my approach is premised on health being a collective act that requires dialogue, self-determination and social transformation - for which creativity has a central role.
