Connecting people to the sport they love and helping them perform at their best — as a coach, as a player, and as a whole person.
1-on-1 sessions, small group coaching, clinics and holiday camps for all levels and all ages. Strengths-based coaching that builds skills, confidence and decision-making — and is genuinely fun.
Workshops, mentoring and development programs for coaches and umpires — from club level through to state. Research-backed, practical and personalised.
Remedial massage and Feldenkrais movement sessions at a home clinic in Yeronga, Brisbane. Moving better — not by force or repetition, but by learning.
Karen Topp brings a rare combination of hands-on experience and research-backed methodology to everything she does. From volunteering at the 2000 Sydney Olympics as a massage therapist, to national cricket tours, state netball, international indoor cricket, and now pickleball — the thread connecting it all is a genuine passion for helping people perform at their best.
Whether mentoring a coach one-on-one, running a pickleball clinic, or working with athletes at her Yeronga clinic, Karen brings the same approach: connect with people, understand what they need, and help them grow.
"Toppy is the best and she cares. No one is ever lower or greater than her. She knows when you're holding back and understands the fear — and always challenges you to think of how you can elevate. I consider her a friend as well as a mentor."
"Karen Topp is a coach who takes the time to get to know her players and supports them by meeting them where they are. It's not a million tips or a blanket approach — I've found her coaching thoughtful, nuanced and providing real clarity around strategy. I would definitely recommend her small group coaching sessions."
"A gentle and effective approach that is surprisingly powerful. I left feeling more relaxed, with greater freedom of movement and less discomfort. The benefits continued well after the session."
