Karen H. Prevatt

Karen was born in Savannah, Georgia, and raised on Wilmington Island in a four-generational home. She attended Young Harris College (A.A., A.S. with concentration in Education), Maryville College (B.A. with majors in Interpreting for the Deaf and Psychology) and Candler School of Theology of Emory University (M.Div.). She has taken post-graduate classes in Marriage and Family Systems through the University of Georgia. She is a Certified Life Coach from the Institute for Life Coach Training and holds the designation of Associate Certified Coach (A.C.C.) with the International Coach Federation (ICF).

Karen has served as an ordained pastor and an associate pastor on church staffs. The focus of her ministry has been establishing small group ministries, prayer ministries, and Bible studies. Other life experiences include: interpreter for the deaf, intern at the Atlanta Center for Independent Living, nanny, freshmen orientation instructor at Georgia Southern University, foster parent, and daily life with the physical challenge of achondroplasia.

Currently, she is appointed by the South Georgia Conference to Living Tall, Inc., which provides coaching services for individuals, couples, and small groups and also provides leadership for Bible Studies, workshops, retreats, and seminars. Karen coaches people who want to move from surviving to thriving…from thinking small to living tall. She has assisted many people of all ages, from youth to older adults, in moving from where they are in life to where they previously only dared to dream to go. Her clients are responsible, committed, high-achieving individuals who are passionate about living an effective and fulfilled life.

On New Year's Eve in 1992, Karen married Mike Prevatt. Mike is the Sales Manager at Freightliner of Savannah and Augusta. She has three sons by marriage: Tim who works and lives in Atlanta and Justin and Brian who attend Georgia Southern University.

Karen likes to bike ride, read, play with her niece and nephews, entertain family and friends in her home, play Bunco, play Putt-Putt, be a student, work in the yard, learn easy cooking recipes, and travel. She has traveled to Israel, Sweden, Paris, Bermuda, and Zimbabwe. Her most recent adventure was a hot-air balloon ride in Palm Springs, California.
