Hi, I'm Karen.

For years, I was like you, going from practitioner to practitioner, hoping somebody could finally tell me what was going on in my body and what I could do to feel well again. I was constantly disappointed that no one had the answers I so desperately needed, or that they just didn't take the time to ask the right questions or look at the whole picture of what was going on for me.

I'd struggled with IBS my entire life. I was 17 when a doctor finally told me that going to the bathroom only twice a week wasn't normal, but it was all I'd ever known. His solution?  Drink more water and eat more fibre, neither of which were particularly helpful on their own. Then years later, a gastroenterologist responded to me mentioning that my IBS symptoms disappeared entirely during pregnancy with: "well, just stay pregnant then." Wow, thanks Doc (not).

Struggling through my teens with period pain so severe it would leave me catatonic, only for the doctor to tell me it was “just my bad luck” and sent on my way with no real solution. Over a decade later I had to plead with my doctor to check me for endometriosis. She didn’t believe me, but I was right, and the tests proved it. This happened again in my late 30’s when it took me seeing three different specialists to finally get diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. The first two didn’t believe me, but I persevered because I knew there was something going on with my body that didn’t make sense.

So when I say I know what you are going through, and why you are feeling so frustrated, trust me, I know.

With three diagnoses in hand, I'd already seen physios, chiropractors, and naturopaths and dabbled in reiki and acupressure, but nothing ever really made a dent.

When I found kinesiology and learned how to actually hear my body, it was like a lightbulb went on, and my symptoms started to naturally disappear.

In clinic, I'm no longer surprised by how quickly someone can resolve life-long issues once we find the missing piece that has previously been overlooked.

You’ll also get 3x 1:1 sessions with me, in-person or on Zoom, where we can go deeper on your specific wellness goals. This is where you get my professional feedback and guidance through the tools, and I can help make sure you’re on the right track with it all.

I know you've probably been told to drink more water, sleep more, and get outside in the sunshine more. But how much is enough isn't the same for every body. What's plenty of sunshine for one person leaves another still depleted. What counts as a good night's sleep for you might be entirely different from what works for someone else.

So instead of handing you another generic checklist, we start by asking your body directly what it needs, and don’t touch what it's already getting right. We fine-tune the foundations you've already got in place, so they actually fit your body, not the average one.

From there, we get more specific. Is there a food, a nutrient, a mineral your body's asking for more or less of? Is something in your environment quietly stressing your system? Is there a system of the body that needs our attention? I'll teach you exactly how to get this information straight from your body, so you can start making small, precise adjustments based on what you actually need.

One layer up from the physical body is where we start working with your energetic body – your meridians, chakras, and aura. We’ll go looking for where the blockages are, where you may have energy leaks, and where things are unbalanced. And yes, we will be learning tools to help balance all of these energy systems.

We can store emotions in the body that show up as physical symptoms. I’ll show you how to find what’s been stored, where it is sitting, and what it needs from you before it’s ready to leave. 

I’ll teach you tools to release emotions that are already stuck, and just as importantly, how to process what comes up in the future before it gets stored in the first place. We’ll also work on regulating your nervous system and how to find what unmet needs your body’s been asking to have met.

This layer comes up a lot with my client work, because so many of us are living our lives run on beliefs that are coming from outside sources and aren’t true for us, and we can’t even see that they are running in the background. When we bring these beliefs to light and unwind them, we can start living our lives from freedom instead of constriction, and that shift alone can quiet a huge amount of the stress your body has been signaling. I will teach you how to uncover these beliefs, even the ones you can’t currently see. 

And once these beliefs are gone, then we can work on the good stuff – replacing them with beliefs that actually take you to where you want to go, with more ease, more joy and more abundance along the way. 

The Spiritual layer is where we look at events that have taken place that may have derailed what your soul had planned for this lifetime. For instance, if something happened to you when you were maybe five years old. You’ve likely forgotten about it completely but your body hasn’t. It has stored that moment as a stress, trauma, or emotion, and it is still running under the surface, impacting your current behaviours. 

I’ll teach you how to pinpoint exactly what age that event happened, what it was, and what your body needs to finally let it go. This is also the level where we look at energetic agreements that you may still have running between you and another, that are no longer required. I’ll walk you through how to find them, understand why they’re there, and release them for good.
