Meet your love & empowerment coach
Karen Strang Allen
Are you ready to get on the fast track to love?
Being in love is amazing…it adds so much richness & colour to our lives, filling each day with warmth, joy and a deep sense of fulfillment.
When we’re loved, we have a comforting refuge during tough times and a wellspring of strength to tackle any challenge that comes our way. We also have someone to share life’s adventures with…to explore, laugh and play with.
But what if the love that’s supposed to uplift, support and protect you brings the opposite to your life?
“I struggle with setting boundaries in relationships and often feel taken advantage of.”
"I have a pattern of attracting partners who are emotionally unavailable or treat me poorly, and I don't know how to break this cycle."
“I often feel like I'm not enough, and it's affecting my ability to find a high-quality partner.”
"I have difficulty trusting others and always fear getting hurt, which prevents me from fully opening up and experiencing love."
Do any of these sound like you?
My story…
At the age of 22, I found my soulmate and got married, only to become a widow six weeks later when cancer took him away. My world crumbled, and I fell apart. It took me years to piece my heart back together until, one day, I felt ready to love again.
Then I met my second husband. I hoped he would be the one I’d grow old with, but sadly despite years of therapy we couldn’t make things work. Heartbroken, I faced a new reality…of being a single mom and solo-entrepreneur with two young children to care for.
This wasn’t the life I’d envisioned. Back in school, I was always a hopeless romantic, dreaming of wedding bells and happy-ever-afters. But life had other plans, and suddenly, I found myself single once more.
It was a wake-up call. The universe was telling me something…and this time, I listened.
I came to realize the tremendous power in embracing being single…making new friends, rediscovering my passions and rebuilding my life with myself at the center.
And in a short period of time, I started to see real changes:
I started feeling happier and lighter and freer.
I started enjoying activities that brought real passion and joy to my life.
I discovered how to set boundaries and stand up for what I deserved.
I learned how to determine who belonged in my life…and who didn’t.
I started attracting partners and friends who were truly available emotionally.
Now it’s your turn
Becoming my best self and realizing the love I truly deserved was a long & winding journey filled with challenges. But I refused to give up. Deep down, I knew that love was worth fighting for. I wasn’t about to let past heartaches dim the spark of hope that still flickered inside me.
And now, after years of trial and error, I’ve cracked the code for myself and other women. I’ve since helped many women find real & lasting love. And guess what? You can do it too…and even better, you can do it FASTER and with more CERTAINTY with me as your guide!
So don’t let fear, past heartaches, or self-doubt hold you back. It’s time to take control of your destiny, create a life that brings you joy, and claim the love you truly deserve.
Let’s make your dreams a real priority!

“I decided to join the Transform Your Life program. So, that training empowered me to create a better life for myself and I learned how to take care of myself and to find paths that work for me.

And I encourage you to do so you deserve it. So I say just do it!”

“Working with Karen is like having an angel’s wings wrap you and hold you. She is supportive, the group is loving. It’s an incredible program. And the best of it all is it gave me empowerment. I have wings, I feel confident. And I know I can take on life and be okay there for myself. And Karen is always there to reach out to. She’s amazing. She’s positive. Invest in yourself. It’s so worth it. You will have nothing but joy. So thank you, Karen. You’re my Earth Angel.”
Mary Dufour
When I met Karen, I was struggling with a lot of grief…and I felt very stuck. I had built up a lot of walls and Karen was amazing at helping me break down those walls…I feel so much lighter now, hopeful, transformed. The whole program is so beautifully set up…it really taught me to love and value myself. So I would highly recommend working with Karen. I think it’s the most empowering, the most valuable thing I’ve ever done.
Rosemary Symington“I loved that she was so expressive and compassionate and very smart and went through a lot in her life, which she shared, as did all the other women. It built up my confidence. It made me feel that my life could continue after such a great loss. I feel that I have more knowledge and self-awareness to help my son, who’s now 14…I just was too young to give up on life and this was sort of the bolt or the jolt I needed to restart my life. And I thank you Karen for that.”
Tessa Vandiggelen
“I really didn’t think that I would ever find true happiness or love because I was really, really afraid to ever try that again. But I did and I met somebody just amazing. So I would totally recommend for you to take Karen’s course…it’s powerful. It’s life-changing. And it’s stuff that you can keep with you forever and grow with it. It was a great opportunity, and I’m so glad I did it.”

Just between us
Let’s get to know each other better and dive into the quirky, fun parts of my life…
I live in Ottawa, Canada with my children Keagan and Keira, and a Morkie named Bailey. I have become an expert in board games, dog zoomies and inappropriate teen humour!
Being single? Actually pretty sweet. I’ve got the whole bed to myself, and I've mastered the art of self-dates and spoiling myself rotten.
Despite our break-up, my ex and I are nailing this co-parenting gig. Celebrating holidays together and everything. Who would've thought?
I’m all about nature & outdoor life. Give me a forest, lake or ocean and I’m happy. Kayaking, hiking, biking—if it’s outside, I’m there!
I was married twice and widowed then divorced by 35. And yeah, it surprises folks just as much as it surprises me. But hey, life is full of unexpected chapters.
