Hi there! I'm Karen Stultz, and I'm living proof it's never too late to create an awesome life.
I live in beautiful Midcoast Maine, happily married for over 50 years, with two incredible children and four amazing grandchildren who bring me endless joy.
My path to becoming a coach wasn't a straight line. I've worn many hats – from Financial Director in government and a career in banking, to a brief foray into politics.
But it was during the five years I spent caring for my parents at home that everything shifted. This period, while challenging, became a profound turning point, leading me to discover my true calling.
I didn’t exactly plan to become a coach — it was more like life tapped me on the shoulder… then gently shoved me forward.
What began as simple curiosity and lifeline turned into certifications across nearly every coaching lane you can imagine.
And here’s the part that still makes me smile: I used to be highly skeptical of anything that sounded “woo.” Energy? Essential Oils? Metaphysics? I wanted evidence, science, and something I could understand. Very Pragmatic.
Then life happened, and along with an "Inner Knowing" I didn't have to make it as hard as I was making it...
I discovered what I now call Heart Energy Techniques™ (HET). This unique blend of tools gently clears old emotional blocks, releases trauma, and restores calm, clarity, and confidence. For over two decades, since 2001, I've had the privilege of guiding Soul-Aligned leaders and coaches in retreats, workshops, groups, and one on one. My passion is helping them rise from burnout, worry, and stress into a life of confidence and calm, from the Inside Out.
Beyond my coaching world, you'll often find me enjoying live concerts, reading "cozy mysteries",volunteering with local nonprofits, or traveling across the U.S. and Europe. And, of course, nothing beats sharing stories and laughs over a glass of wine or ice cream with dear friends and family
Karen is a joy to work with, she comes from such a beautiful place of heart centredness, caring deeply about her client's success, overdelivering, while keeping you grounded and focused on your goal. She has many tools in her toolbox and knows exactly when to bring out each tool, to support her clients' journey. Thank you Karen for your support, guidance and ability to show me exactly what I needed to do to move forward every step of the way.

Karen’s work helped me release trauma I didn’t know was still affecting me. Through her guidance, I learned how to shift my energy, rewire limiting beliefs, and trust myself again. My relationships have improved, my business has grown, and I finally feel joy every day. I can’t recommend her enough!
Karen is very well structured, offers great value, and has an exceptional level of integrity. She truly cares for her clients. Her warm personality and professional work style make her a great coach.
~ Regina Huber, Leadership & Freedom Coach
Working with Karen and her Heart Energy Techniques was nothing short of transformational. I came to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of my next steps. In just a few sessions, I released years of emotional baggage I didn’t even realize I was carrying. Today, I feel lighter, clearer, and more confident in my decisions—personally and professionally.
