Karin McDermott is the Founder and President of Soultree Motion, Inc. and The Soultree Center located in Manhattan Beach, California. Karin is an energetic single mother of two remarkable teenaged boys, a lover of Peet’s coffee and an exhaustive seeker of all things rooted in soul. She is deeply devoted to her work, and believes that inspiring women to cultivate soul-based living is a calling that needs an authentic voice. When Karin's not teaching, volunteering, blogging or cheering (rather loudly) at her sons’ sports events, you can find her at The Soultree Center rapt in a miasma of music and creating new branches for her company...just a stone’s throw from the healing and positive energy of the Pacific Ocean.

Karin has been teaching movement as well as speaking and writing about soul-based living since 2000, it wasn’t until the opening of her proprietary Soultree™ studios in 2005, that the lifestyle aspect of the movement began to truly branch out. Karin’s centers in Los Angeles and Miami, as well as travelling the country leading women through her movement, has given her a unique insight to the universal thread shared by all women.
