“I’ve been struggling with peri-menopoause for the last five years, plus the added stress of Covid-19, moving to a new town and discovering I was pre-diabetic . I’ve seen the scale creep up and up month after month, PM symptoms increase, energy and libido dwindle. I felt so frustrated to be 20 pounds heavier and especially so because I felt like I was doing my best with fasting, exercise and food choices.
Karuna’s approach to health and wellness is steeped in her passion of tending to the whole body. This potent program starts with a foundational visioning process. First Karuna guided me to dive into *WHY* I wanted to create such changes and what I wanted to *FEEL* like in my body, in my relationship with my husband and in my life. Although I wanted to skip straight to the weight loss, this step was imperative. It helped me to recognize there are many ways to define and measure my success other than the scale. I deeply appreciate Karuna’s approach to depart from wicked diet culture, she offers a more sustainable way of *BEING* in one’s body. Truly.
Initially Karuna guided me on particular foods to support my hormones and we created a fasting schedule, no exercise needed for the first two weeks. I was amazed at how my body responded! I lost 5 pounds! Food really is medicine! Over the course of the program, I lost the weight I desired and many inches from my waist and thighs. But more importantly I felt as though I was really working *WITH* my body. My eyes cleared, my sleep deepened, my energy was high, my libido increased, my PM symptoms improved. I became more compassionate with myself if the scale went up slightly, and also learned to understand my body’s responses to various wellness choices. With Karuna’s guidance and support, this process felt like a wonderful experiment, offering my body variables and seeing various great responses.
Karuna’s wisdom and experience is vast and thorough. Her unique approach to women’s health through hormonal balancing and gut health has been key to supporting my body. She has helped me access a deeper trust of my body, knowledge to support my health in a balanced way and a vibrancy I haven’t felt in a long time. Thank you Karuna!” ~DA
“When I first met with Karuna I was struggling in a lot of areas in my life. I had gained a lot of weight which was impacting my ability to sleep and breathe. With Karuna’s help, I set a goal to lose weight in a healthy way. Karuna helped me put a plan together and find my motivation. I lost the initial weight I wanted to lose. I sleep and breathe better than I have in years. I now feel more in control of my life and my depression is much more manageable. I feel confident that I can figure out how to get out of slumps like the one I was in. Karuna helped me set a long-term goal that I am still working towards and made sure I had a plan to balance out when I reach that goal.
I would totally recommend Karuna’s coaching to anyone who is having trouble getting from wanting to change to taking action and making the change in their life; Anyone who wants to create a plan that works for them and find the motivation to follow through.” ~ SO
“A healer does not heal you; a true healer awakens the healer within.”
“I cannot imagine a better quote to describe Karuna’s abilities and knowledge as a practitioner and teacher. Before taking the course I realized I had many obstacles that were blocking me in my efforts to become healthier both mentally and physically. Karuna meets you where you are with a compassionate heart and an infinite amount of wisdom. Throughout the course, I realized I struggle with self-love and self-compassion. Karuna held my hand and gently led me with amazing insight to allow me to love myself with unbridled passion and to treat myself with care no matter where I am on my path. Throughout this course you are held accountable, but never get pushed beyond your limits in time or ability. If you have the time and commitment to take this course, I would not hesitate! You will realize YOU are your best healer!” ~EO
“Last fall, I was experiencing tremendous frustration with my lack of motivation and discipline around my poor eating habits, as well as my frustration with feeling permanently stuck in every aspect of my life. I felt a little like I was going crazy. Initially, when I scheduled with Karuna, I was hoping she could help me figure out why I was self-sabotaging myself at every turn — diet, exercise, meditation, the practice (or lack thereof) of my art. Through very gentle, insightful, skilled and individualized sessions, I was blown away at how much better I was feeling in ALL aspects of my life in a short period of time.” ~KA
Not only was I able to lose 15-20 pounds in a few month’s time (I know, right?!!!), but I also learned so much more about myself. I’ve done plenty of self-reflection/therapy in my 67 years, so I went in feeling like I probably knew most everything. Boy was I wrong! Karuna has taught me so much using her very diverse education and life experiences. One of MY personal favorite lessons Karuna has taught me was about the Chakra System which I’d always been interested in, but had never found a good teaching source to learn from. I love Karuna’s style and interpretation and incredible insights in everything she teaches. Knowing and working with Karuna has changed my life. I highly recommend calling her, if you are looking to lose weight, get back on track, find your passion, get unstuck — wherever you might be in your journey. She’s incredibly intuitive and supportive and has a great sense of humor to boot! I can’t wait to buy her book: WEIGHT LOSS LIBERATION. Thank you Karuna!” ~SS
"I experienced severe trauma last year and the first person I contacted on my journey to recovery was Karuna. From physical to emotional trauma, Karuna can address the spectrum of human emotion with her calm, tender, and intuitive nature. Our coaching sessions are both therapeutic and empowering. Karuna creates a safe space where I feel held and supported when we talk and then she sends me off with practical tools to reclaim my own independence and self-care. Through our coaching sessions, I reconnected with my roots and developed a better understanding of my role and interaction with the universe." ~ AC
“With Karuna as your guide, this journey helps you tune in to what your body and mind know but have not bubbled up to your conscious level of thinking yet. You are given permission to sink into your experiences, who you are, what is working for you and what you want to change to make work better. Karuna is an amazing guide as she balances a very fine line of encouraging and supporting while questioning and pushing on assumptions I didn't even realize I was holding onto. It’s an amazing opportunity and one I am very thankful for!” ~JP
“Karuna is the cartographer of the heart. She helped me find my center through meaningful, in depth conversations, visualization exercises, and creating sacred rituals in my life. The work that I did with Karuna at once centered my heart and opened my heart up. My work with Karuna has powerfully, positively, reverberated into all aspects of my life.” ~JD
“I have been blessed to have found Karuna - her knowledge, experience, and intuition have been perfect in guiding me through my journey of health and wholeness." ~MF
“Through my sessions with you, I have grown to a much deeper understanding of who I am and what I have to offer, especially those unique personal qualities I can offer to others, what I like to call “my superpowers.” Your natural compassion, openness and humor made it so comfortable for me to arrive at that deeper understanding and how I can use it in the world. Thanks so much for supporting my growth and sharing your own “superpowers” with me.” ~JL
