If we haven’t meet yet, hi! I’m
Karen Saukas
Certified personal performance coach with a B.A. in Psychology, awarded with High Distinction.
I help high achievers break free from perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout so they can feel calm, confident, and in control again.
If you’re looking for shame-free, science-backed, sensitive support — I’m your gal.
My core values
Authenticity deeply matters to me. I show up as myself, and crave deep conversations & connections.
It took me years to embrace my sensitive nature, but now I love it. I’m an empath who was born to hold space and help people feel seen.
After a lifetime of overthinking and analyzing, I finally trust my intuition because I trust myself.
My qualifications
I hold a B.A. with High Distinction in Psychology & Communications from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I love learning about behavior & the brain.
After +10 years of working in marketing, I decided to pursue my passion for coaching. I completed an International Coaching Federation accredited certification program over 1.5 years.
I’ve led content strategy in corporate and tech, so I know perfectionism and pressure firsthand. I’ve led clients through hundreds of hours of coaching to help them find balance and peace.
A bit more about me
A German coworker got sent to the U.S.… and later that year, I moved to Munich. Now, we’re married & have a son. Like I said, I trust my intuition. I love living in Germany and working with clients worldwide.
Reading is my favorite hobby. I love fantasy. I was a huge Harry Potter fan growing up and loved Throne of Glass! I also read a lot of psychology books because I love learning about the brain.
Growing up, I was shy. Now, I’m much more confident, but still introverted. I light up with my favorite people or working with clients, but I need downtime after a big social gathering.
Want to work together?
I’ve got you.
Whether you’re burned out, stuck in overdrive, or craving more ease, I bring years of experience helping high achievers find a new way forward.
