Professional Profile

Karen Pyra, MPA, CE

"Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away." This quote by Maya Angelou really speaks to the way I live my life and approach my work. Finding meaning in the work I do is what has kept me passionately engaged with many different projects and people over my 35 plus years working mostly in the health sector.

Life Passions

  • Family: I love spending time and creating fun with my family. My sister and I are known for taking on large goals that involve fundraising for charity. We have done many over the years, with the most epic being the Big Swim in which we swan across the Northumberland Strait in support of Brigadoon Village.
  • Body Awareness & Movement: Sharing with others the power and beauty of body awareness and movement to keep feeling positive and healthy. As a Franklin Method Movement Educator, I provide workshops to share the joy of movement that is pain free.
  • Centered Riding Instructor: I am passionate about my own wonderful relationships with my horses and take great pleasure in helping others develop their relationships with their equines and become better riders.
  • Music: I feel called to express the way I experience the world through the songs that I write. I love working with musical partners to create joy through music. Here's a sample for your listening pleasure: When All Else Fails
  • Sewing: I find great relaxation in the process of creating unique garments from scratch and love the time I get to spend in my creative space.
  • Beach Lover: I have the great privilege of living on the north shore of beautiful Prince Edward Island where I watch the ocean every day. I love walking, reading, and riding horses on beautiful sandy beaches.
