About Karrie Garcia

As a pastor, life coach, author, and CEO, Karrie Garcia has been an inspiring change in others by boldly sharing her journey to freedom. Karrie is not afraid to wade through deep waters, because she has seen firsthand how God’s true redemptive purpose for our lives does not begin once we’re free from pain, rather it stems directly out of that pain.

Today, Karrie is on a mission to redefine freedom for others through her nonprofit, Freedom Movement. Since 2014, she has fostered an environment at Freedom Movement where anyone
can begin to process and heal, whether they’re taking their first or their last step on the road to freedom through the organization’s tours, events, workshops, and one-on-one coaching.

Karrie is also the author of The Exchange, an interactive nine-week course through which she guides individuals and groups from hurting to hope with readings, videos, and reflections.

“As a Medical Assistant and a Phlebotomist, I had no idea I could take my career to the level I have by working with Dr. Kovac. I have not only become the face of the medical clinic I work in, but a strong leader. I successfully lead a team of doctors, medical providers and office staff to work systematically together, serving a diverse community of patients. This confidence transfers into my personal life and I have experienced a tremendous amount of growth in that area of my life as well. I highly recommend working with Dr. Kovac!”
