Karin’s experiences are wildly interesting, unique and bizarre to say the least- a page turner in the life of a hair stylist who contributes much of her successes as a result of the side effects associated with being a survivor.
Karin’s personal experiences of domestic violence abuse, and the heinous sex crimes committed against her as a child and as an adult led Karin into a life of perfectionism, peer approval and a desire for recognition was a motivating factor in her life successes.
