Speaks

About Karen Russell

Kailua Kona Seafront Vacation Home by Karen Russell I am a gerontologist and holistic health counselor. Born in Columbus, Ohio, I attended Kent State for my B.A. and Ohio State University for my master's degree. I completed postgraduate work at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Columbia University in holistic health, along with additional postgraduate studies to become a Certified Natural Healthcare Professional. I love music, nature, dance, art, health, and people. I now live in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, with my fiancé, Dr. Tim Hendlin, who is a holistic physician and chiropractor. We have eight fur children, a giant tortoise, two Nigerian Dwarf goats, and an Amazon parrot. Why they chose this property: It is a safe, beautiful, and private place that is close to town, the airport, beaches, attractions, restaurants, and shopping. We are very accommodating and caring for our guests. The property features beautiful landscaping and wonderful fruit trees throughout. What makes this property unique: It is wonderful to be able to look out and see the ocean from throughout the property. The sunsets are magnificent. For visitors who desire onsite chiropractic services, massage, far infrared sauna, nutritional and holistic health guidance, or organic meals, these are available at an extra charge.
