Karen Thomas, Founder
More than 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry has led Karen to where she is today. As a young girl, Karen volunteered in animal shelters in eastern Pennsylvania. Her instincts as a natural healer led her to a medical career upon completing a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing degree at West Chester University.
Karen worked full time as a Registered Nurse for over 25 years and continued her education in holistic medicine over the last 20 years.
While operating the sanctuary full time, she continues to work with private clients remotely, using animal communication and energy healing. She offers solutions to health issues, behavior issues, stress, anxiety, and end of life transitions. Most of these are treated with various energy healing modalities. Karen is passionate about helping to heal animals in shelters, sanctuaries, and rescue organizations.
Today Karen continues to be involved with the local rescue organization, Florida Keys SPCA in Marathon, Florida. While she has volunteered with FKSPCA since 2003, she took on a more personal role in 2014 when she began implementing the use of calming music, and the diffusing of therapeutic-grade essential oils. This has helped to promote relaxation and healing in the indoor kennel areas by calming the dogs’ nervous systems. This has been her successful model for the sanctuary.
In addition to establishing Payton’s Promise Sanctuary, Karen is also a Best Selling Author, Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner, and Intuitive Healer. She graduated from Communication with all Life University, where she fine-tuned her skills in animal communication and energy medicine. Karen lives in South Florida with the loves of her life; her personal dogs and the sanctuary dogs.
