Karen’s favourite part of physie is sharing the journey with her daughter, Maddison, whom she opened the studio with in 2021.

Karen takes the time to make every member feel special, getting to know each one in the way only a physie mum can.

With her enthusiasm, Strathpine spirit and love for all things physie, is it any wonder we coined the term “every physie club needs a Kazza”!
