Hi, I'm Karen Knowler...

author of “Raw Food Made Simple” and the founder of the “International Association of Raw Food Coaches, Chefs and Teachers” (IARFCCT).

What you may not know about me is that 20 years ago, in 1999, when I was just beginning to go solo in my raw food business adventures, I had no clue how to teach raw food or how to create a raw food class, as no raw food teachers existed in the UK – let alone any kind of raw food teacher training courses!

Like many people, I had plenty of doubts and fears, and believe it or not, massive confidence issues. In fact, public speaking was my number one fear. And, not only that, I really wasn’t sure if anyone would want to learn from “little old me” (I was 26 and looked 16!) or if I could teach them anything they didn’t already know.

What if they felt it was all a bit too basic, or they didn’t like my recipes, or…?

However, as I was to find out very quickly and delightedly, people did want to learn from me, there was plenty that they didn’t know, and not only did they love my recipes, but those same recipes put them on the path to going raw and reaping all those wonderful benefits… 

In short, everyone was happy!

I got to teach what I knew and loved (and earned some very handy money for my time spent doing it).

My students got to learn how to make quick and easy raw food that they loved and would go on to make in their own home, so they could finally go raw and get as healthy and energetic as they hoped to.
