Karen's home is in western Arizona. Her love of Spirit and devotion to the healing charism of Jesus has led her into the way of alternative healing through Shamanism and Reiki. For her there is no separation of the realities of seen and unseen, and her work as a healer and teacher is rooted in the belief that it is not what we "do" that heals, but what we allow ourselves to become. As Jesus taught, the realm of the Divine is within each of us and it is there that we can access the infinite compassion of Mystery. It does not matter what tradition we are immersed in, but that we encounter that Mystery and Spirit within.

Karen holds a Masters degree in Social Work and has devoted much of her life to working with those who have experienced economic poverty, as well as abuse, addictions, homelessness and trauma. As a Shamanic healer and Reiki Master Teacher, Karen understands wellness from a perspective of balancing essential power. Her path as a teacher has led her throughout the United States and Europe.

Karen is a former member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor. As a former Catholic sister, she walks the path of the mystic and healer, seeking to integrate the healing of self, community and Earth. She is aware that it is in bringing Light into the world that healing and wholeness can happen. She is excited about the emerging paradigm of Oneness and welcomes the challenge and movement of this evolution of Spirit.
