Karin Del Maestro is a board-certified health coach, speaker, breast cancer thriver, and founder of Thrivership School™. With more than 23 years of experience helping women care for their health, she brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work.

After breast cancer treatment ended, Karin found herself returning to a familiar role: the capable one who took care of everyone else. She knew what supported her health, yet struggled to find the energy and space to do it.

That experience led her to develop Lighten the LOAD™, an approach that helps women recognize the invisible responsibilities, worries, and expectations they’re carrying...and gently find ways to put some of them down.

Known for her warmth, relatable stories, and practical tools, Karin helps women care for the people they love while making room to care for themselves, too.
