There is hope, don't ever give up! Let the walls of Jericho come down in your life today - Karen ABOUT KAREN Sporting Background My passion for sport and fitness stated when I began Ballet at the age of 6 and competitive running at the age of 9.  With the responsibility of Cross Country Captain and coach, I achieved school colours, attended Natal School Trials and the many dancing exams and concerts I took part in. My love for the outdoors, hiking, sport and fitness was evident to everyone, as I set my mind on becoming a Physical Educational Teacher at a very young age. Life's Struggles Who said life would be without troubles!  I suffered with severe depression and eatng disorders for many years. Later on I experienced a slipped lumbar disc. My son had Asperger's Syndrome and then sustained a severe closed brain injury in a car accident when he was four.  It was these life struggles and overcoming them that increased my desire to help other people naturally and holistically. Dreams do come true With my childhood dreams, mixed in with a whole heap of passion, faith and determination, I started Jericho in 2007 from scratch. Since 2007 it has grown from 3 clients to in excess of clients. It’s at Jericho that I can give back what I've learnt and been through to help other people to achieve their fitness, health and wellness goals. My Qualifications I'm a Fitness Professional and my qualifications are: TRE Practitioner, Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor and Massagist. Most importantly I have a passion for what I do and love it!
