Real stories and testimonials from women who have experienced Ether Wellness
These are the words of women who have stepped into this space, done the work, and experienced what’s possible when you begin to reconnect with your body, your strength, and your sense of self.
Every journey looks different, but the intention is the same—more clarity, more trust, and a deeper feeling of coming home to themselves.
“Kari is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring coach who has truly changed the way I approach my health and fitness. She has a gift for meeting you exactly where you are—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and guiding you with compassion and encouragement. Thanks to her, I’ve begun building a consistent fitness routine that feels realistic and sustainable, not overwhelming. Kari doesn’t just focus on workouts; she takes a holistic approach. She’s gently helped me make positive changes with nutrition and introduced simple nervous system exercises that have made a big difference in how I feel day-to-day. She celebrates small wins, gives just the right amount of accountability, and makes every step feel achievable. If you’re looking for a coach who will meet you with kindness, deep knowledge, and a personalized plan to truly support your health journey, I cannot recommend Kari enough.”

“After a year of physical and emotional challenges, I truly appreciate all that Kari has contributed to my personal growth and wellness journey. I feel stronger and more confident about staying healthy.”
Mary
“This gathering was different. Comfortable and Clear.
Time to listen. To reflect. To learn. To remember.”
Julie
“Kari is thoughtful and caring, warm and welcoming. She creates a safe space to really connect with your body. I’ve had a great experience and learned so much working with her 1:1 and in a group training setting.
She has this way of gently weaving in her extensive knowledge in personal training, yoga and pilates into her fitness training. She not only focuses on physical health, she incorporates breathwork and a focus on nutrition and hormone health. I’ve learned so much and gained new skills and habits around balancing my hormones, connecting with my body and instilling healthy habits when it comes to daily stress relief practices, the best times of day for me to eat and adding in a tea and a nut and seed blend that supports my menstrual cycle that follows me throughout the phases. Super helpful! Talk about improved quality of life!
I highly recommend Kari. If you’re looking to improve your self-care, gain strength or simply find a good balance in life, she’s the gal for you. What a great resource and a plethora of knowledge. She knows just how to deliver the information you need at the exact right moment. Thanks Kari!

“I love her style. It’s more women-focused, which is lovely, especially approaching 50 and perimenopause. In addition, there’s breathing exercises and wellness exercises that you do every week. I’ve never had more of a holistic approach where I feel like it’s more than just a personal trainer. It’s a health and wellness coach AND a personal trainer.”

“The atmosphere at Ether Wellness is exactly what I need! In addition to the private workout area for my 1:1 strength training, I love the multiple quiet spaces for reflection and writing. I'm looking forward to upcoming Yin classes in the beautiful studio space. Thanks, Kari, for creating this welcoming and healing space.”

- Jess
"Ether is a GORGEOUS space downtown and Kari is creating a beautiful community there for women who are interested in truly HOLISTIC wellness (mind, body, spirit)! Where else can you get personal training, attend a yoga class, a networking event AND relax in a comfy lounge with a good self-help book and cup of tea?!"
Studio Rental Reflection
“I recently hosted a special event (Winter Solstice: Cacao Flow) at Ether Wellness! It was my first time hosting a workshop in the beautiful studio space overlooking the capital. The event sold out and everyone seemed to really enjoy everything about the evening! The space was very clean and had everything we needed including mats, blocks, blanket and a water filling station. The vibe was zen with salt lamps lighting up the space! I have been hosting wellness events for 12 years and the experience of renting the space at Ether Wellness was seamless!
Communication with Kari was delightful! She is super kind, professional, thorough and clear which is super important to me! She was very responsive with any questions I had which supported stress-free planning! Kari (Ether Wellness) also assisted with light marketing, which definitely helped fill my event! I look forward to renting the space again in the future in addition to checking out all the other events that are hosted in that super sweet space!”
