Hello dear heart, welcome to the greenhouse.
Because you’ve landed here, I am sure we share some common traits – you likely tend to travel off the beaten path and are curious, open and adventurous about the next step on your personal or professional journey. A deeper part of you is calling to expand your greater service to this world.
More than ever, is time to answer.
I too have felt that call, and am deeply grateful for the times I courageously listened, saying YES when I recognized moments of true alchemy – when the right combination of clear inspiration and timing placed a stepping stone of opportunity directly in front of me. Looking back, I clearly see the impact those YES moments carried – marking the crossroads when my professional path deepened, or when a new, fruitful direction unfolded in my personal life. These stepping stones are my offering to you… heartfully crafted to provide fertile ground for you mind, body and soul.
It is a joy to offer in-person courses and retreats based in some of the Earth’s most magnificent landscapes – I look forward to tending to your blossoming!

Hop over to our True Nature Wilderness Quests and TerraTravel experiences. Designed for nature-lovers and inner landscape explorers, Costa Rica’s majestic mountains & the pure pockets of the Peruvian Amazon await!
It is a privilege to learn from Karen, in one of the most exceptional environments on the planet.
Take a stunning setting, blankets of green trees on the mountains of the Monteverde cloud forest in Costa Rica where nature is so pure and beautiful, throw in a garden of lush flowers, rays of sunlight creeping through the leaves, and the most incredible energy of the earth, and imagine being taught the art of Reiki in the silence of this beautiful bubble from a woman who is so rich in her heart, that you wonder how on earth you were so lucky to find her!
To think I was going to do my Reiki course in a classroom in the big city with 15 other students just makes me realize how Karen’s work is so much more than just a business. She offers a much deeper experience. Karen is a brilliant teacher, with a deep connection to the healing energies of Reiki. She creates a beautiful and safe space to open up within, and gives her full dedication and self to her students. The course was beautifully taught, allowing us to fully surrender to the energetic, emotional, physical experience of becoming Reiki practitioners.
Me as a teacher and guide
One of my authentic gifts is connecting with students and colleagues, making new information, skills and experiences accessible and relevant to your life. With a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and 30+ years of instructional and facilitation experience in my backpack, I understand that you have a learning style that is uniquely yours, as are your motivations.
I have never NOT been a teacher.
As a guide, I meet you where you are - and we’ll move forward together in a dynamic way so that your service in this world is more complete, and so that you are able to develop your authentic gifts with natural ease. Your gifts blossom forward, and the world benefits. We need you!
As a mentor, simply put: I value and believe in educating your whole person. I know you are not just a technician looking for new skills and knowledge, nor are you someone who goes through the motions, collecting travel experiences and certifications here and there. You desire substance, with sensitivity and savvy - I've got you covered.
You are a person with brains – and a professional with heart, motivation & dreams...and you want those aspects of what you offer to shine through, too.
Which is why my in-person workshops always include mentoring, and why my students and clients have the opportunity for continued mentorship – even from a distance. This is where alchemy happens.
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind. - Kahlil Gibran
Your Learning Habitat in Monteverde
Monteverde, Costa Rica: The land of mountains, of wide vistas and deep visions. An unparalleled setting for your next step.
Perched upon the continental divide of Central America, Monteverde is a jewel, nestled amid tens of thousands of acres of protected tropical forest. A biodiversity hotspot in Costa Rica, we pulse with life on this mountaintop – here, the forest is vibrantly alive and so are the 5,000 people who make this their home. We live with the sun, stars, rain, thunder, wind, mud, rainbows, rocks and rivers - and cherish them as if they were our best friends.
This place in paradise is an integral part of HOW we learn here, which is why our workshops always include a comfortable learning habitat surrounded by nature.
And, you can also expect a portion of your experience will be OUT in this pristine wilderness, too. If you haven't read my personal love letter to Monteverde, enjoy!
A wonderful soul and a truly gifted healer.
Karen embodies a deep wisdom both intellectually and perhaps more importantly through her strong heart and desire to share with others in training and practice. I recently completed my Level 1 Reiki training with Karen in Monteverde and I feel revitalized physically and spiritually on this new path. I very much look forward to further training with Karen in the future as I continue advancing my Reiki practice. I would highly recommend her as a teacher as well as a healing hands practitioner for anyone that has the opportunity to spend time with her as a student.
