About Karen

In March of 2019, after 18 months of searching for answersto the seemingly mysterious symptoms Karen had been experiencing, she was diagnosed with Chronic Vestibular Migraine. Post diagnosis, she learned about the Johns Hopkins Migraine Diet through Dr. David Buchholz’s book, “Heal Your Headache”, and started to undergo the tedious elimination process to figure out her personal migraine triggers.

In May of 2020, during the Covid pandemic quarantine, Karen launched a blog focused on migraine-friendly cocktails for the at-home bartender, Tartt Drinks. This creative outlet, along with an online audience of fellow migraineurs, provided a space for her to explore the cocktails, flavorsand spirits that were missing from the lives of those affected by migraine.

Her migraine-friendly cocktails have since been featured in the Bombay Sapphire Artist Showcase, Speed Rack Trading Cards, Dizzy Cook’s first book release party, Miles for Migraine Social Events and an upcoming cocktail book.

She currently resides in San Francisco, CA and works at Wildhawk in the Mission District. She’s currently researching gas chromatography analysis in spirits to more clearly define what makes a spirit migraine-friendly. She’s also studying different ways to create more complete citrus alternatives.
