"Through earned wisdom you led me down a path of beauty like I have never seen. You guided me on a healing journey where I connected with my soul and received guidance and direction from my healing. It was beautiful, and I am forever grateful."
Nancy B., San Jose
"I was thrilled with the journey meditation that Karen did for me. She did the meditation journey to find my power animal. What impressed me the most is the confidence and trust, which she has in her spirit helpers. She explains all about her journey and tells you in detail all she sees, but then leaves the interpreting to you. In this journey, Karen had a vision that only I would understand and connect with and I know she had no way of having that information."
Connie E., San Jose
"After Karen ran my bars® I felt GREAT! It's hard to describe the experience I had. I could definitely feel like I was releasing negative energy and even saw some ancient artifacts float through. I have NO idea what that was! But afterwards I felt lighter and happier. I also felt ultra focused for several weeks after. That was really an added bonus! I definitely recommend you try this unique energy healing. I'm ready to become a regular!"
