I'm Karen.

​

I am an intuitive and an energy healer. My gift is helping you see yourself and what is manifesting in your life through a new lens where all the pieces of the puzzle have a place and fit together. 

​

I help make sense of what you are experiencing and how everything is connected, while empowering you to trust your own innate wisdom and your own intuitive gifts. 

​

My focus on energy healing was largely a result of my experience with having cancer. I found that my  ability to track energy and to listen to my intuitive guidance led me in some surprising directions. 

​

I explored many healing modalities while I was navigating the recommendations of allopathic medicine simultaneously. Some new experiences included having crystal bowls played on my body deep in the forest, a burial ritual in the Dagara tradition overseen by Sobonfu Some, as well as several surgeries. It opened up worlds of experience that changed my perception of reality.

​

I did my best to heal on all levels. Apart from my body recovering, this allowed me to acknowledge and address the deep shame the women in my family held in my feminine line as well as the pattern of betrayal between women - all of which had deeply impacted my life and was held in my body. There was also a wound with the masculine that left a void and was the underlying influence behind the difficult relationships that manifested in my life.

 

It was all the perfect training ground to propel me into a world of energy, exploration, and healing.

When the do-do hits the fan, whether it be with a health crisis, addictions, relationship breakdown, unemployment, financial crisis… sometimes more is needed than talk therapy.  True healing can come from seeing the underlying factors that are contributing to the manifestation of the crisis in the first place, which are largely subconscious.

​

I create a deeply safe, supportive environment to guide you toward uncovering and integrating the traumas or unconscious baggage that are getting in the way of you having the life you desire. 

​

The principles of BodyTalk and Family/Systemic Cosnstellations informs how we explore and heal what is being experienced at your core. You can read more about these on the Modalities page.

 

For me, the most sacred moment is when we bring deep honouring and compassion to the places where pain and shame reside. It is in bringing things into the light that their purpose and beauty can be revealed. Our beauty. The messy beauty of this human experience.
