Testimonials: 


"You could cook for a lifetime from this cookbook! So much valuable stuff in there." 

Jack Hedger


"The format is great. Visually, it reads personal and inclusive. The layout is easy to read and I think that it'll appeal to both newly diagnosed and more seasoned BoP allergy sufferers plus anyone with cross reactions. The use of metric and imperial measurements will have global appeal. The recipes are easy to understand and not over complicated so they will appeal to all types of cooks."

Janet McCarthy


"Savor Without Sensitivity is a cookbook like none other. I am a specialist in contact dermatitis and in my practice, I am known for my ability to detect allergens in foods, such as Balsam of Peru that can trigger rash and itch. I know for years to come that I will refer my patients to this cookbook now that a resource for them finally exists!  Rashes that result from consuming foods with fragrance have been so difficult for my patients to navigate over the years because, before Karen Bruns set out to develop a resource for allergen avoidance, there was little guidance in terms of how to avoid fragrance in foods and still be able to enjoy foods with flavor.  This book was meticulously researched and designed to provide a much-needed resource for my patients who wanted to avoid their rash triggers and lead a more comfortable life that is itch and rash free.  I am deeply indebted to Karen for putting the time in to create such a valuable resource for my patients."

Balsam of Peru Allergy Coaching Support Group


As an ICF accredited coach, I hold the firm belief that every individual possesses innate wholeness, creativity, and resourcefulness. However, my personal encounter with a Balsam of Peru allergy proved to be a formidable challenge, resulting in significant physical discomfort, distressing rashes, drastic alterations to my diet and daily activities, and even a period of depression. This allergy complicates numerous aspects of life, from social interactions limited by others' use of perfumes to the complexities of dining out, requiring detailed discussions with restaurant staff, and affecting our personal home environments. Enduring such a pervasive medical issue can be profoundly unsettling for those experiencing it for the first time.


Glennon Doyle once advised to "Speak from the scar, not the wound," highlighting the value of sharing insights and support from a standpoint of healing rather than from ongoing pain. This perspective implies that our most meaningful and helpful contributions come from places within us that have healed, offering a foundation of strength and understanding rather than from the midst of our struggles. Today, I find myself on the healed side of my experience, motivated by a desire to create a supportive space that addresses the void I once faced. 


The best part? We get to co-create this space together.


Therefore, I warmly invite you to a community where:

  • You can be among others at different stages of their healing journey.
  • We collectively decide on incorporating practices like breathing, meditation, or mindfulness exercises based on our group's needs and desires.
  • We foster a compassionate environment, holding space for each other's stories and experiences.
  • We cultivate an atmosphere where laughter and joy can emerge from our shared experiences.


In peace, 

Karen 

Transformative Holistic Coach, ICF PCC
