About Me


I’m Dr. Karen Hyden—a functional medicine nurse practitioner, Christian counselor, and life coach—dedicated to helping individuals uncover what’s holding them back and guiding them toward true breakthrough and healing.

My approach is deeply integrated and whole-person focused, honoring the way we were created—body, spirit, and soul. I walk alongside clients to explore the root causes of physical symptoms, emotional pain, and spiritual disconnection, and to build a personalized path toward lasting transformation.

Bottom line?
If you’re feeling stuck—physically, emotionally, or spiritually—I’m here to help you uncover the “why” and walk with you toward a renewed, hope-filled, and purpose-driven life.

My Story


I’ve become the provider I once needed.

My journey into healing and helping others began with my own personal battles. As a teenager, I struggled with anxiety and was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. It was during this dark season that I encountered the Lord in a life-changing way. Through His grace, I was completely healed—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Later, during college, I became chronically ill and was eventually diagnosed with Lyme disease—something that would impact my body and life for over two decades. These personal challenges stirred a deep desire in me to understand the “why”—Why had I struggled? Why was my body still unwell? And how could true healing happen?

That hunger for understanding launched a lifelong journey of education, training, and spiritual growth.

Now, fully healed by God’s mercy and equipped by years of training, I walk alongside others to help them find what I once longed for: wholeness.

My mission is simple yet profound: to encourage, empower, and equip others to live free—spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
