ABOUT KARIN
I’m Karin Baer, a trauma-informed life coach specializing in betrayal trauma.
My work grew first from lived experience and later through professional training. I know how disorienting betrayal can be when what you thought was true suddenly isn’t.
As an APSATS Certified Partner Coach (CPC) and ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), I come alongside individuals and couples navigating sexual betrayal, problematic sexual behaviour, and intimacy anorexia.
I don’t believe in telling people what they should do or where their journey should lead. My role is to provide a trustworthy space where truth can be faced, choices can emerge, and small steps toward forward movement become possible.
Sometimes you simply need someone alongside you while you find your footing.
BEYOND THE WORK
I am based in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, and have three adult children. Time with my children, their partners, family, and friends often takes me across North America and Europe.
I grew up in Germany and offer coaching in both English and German.
Away from coaching, I enjoy bikepacking, kayaking, and setting out on adventures and road trips with my little camper, kayak, and bike.
ABOUT KARIN
WHY “ALONGSIDER”?
Sexual betrayal is one of life’s darkest journeys.
An alongsider remains present—listening without minimizing, asking without directing, and honouring the woman’s knowing, voice, and choices.
I keep my light on and come alongside you.
Your journey remains yours.
