Testimonials
I so look forward to my Reiki sessions with Kara! She is a calming presence and deeply intuitive, creating a relaxing atmosphere in her beautiful studio. Her Reiki sessions help me feel at peace, restored and grounded while helping me feel more balanced and renewed. These sessions have also helped resolve sleep issues I've had in the past. What I appreciate most is Kara's genuine follow-up emails that include healthy recipes and positive affirmations. Her compassion and dedication make every session feel special.

We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Kara, who has provided both student programming and professional development trainings for our staff and teams. Her impact on our program has been truly outstanding. With our students she creates a calming, engaging, supportive environment through yoga and mindfulness activities that the children genuinely look forward to. She connects with them effortlessly and uses meaningful techniques they can use to regulate emotions, focus and reduce stress. She has also led two professional development days for our staff this year that were hands-down the most interactive, fun, and beneficial trainings we have ever experienced. She focused on stress reduction, breathing techniques, mindfulness strategies, and practical ways to engage students throughout the day. One of the highlights was creating mindfulness jars together- a simple yet powerful activity that staff could immediately bring back to their classrooms and programs. Her energy, professionalism, warmth, and ability to make mindfulness approachable for everyone is absolutely phenomenal. She keeps staff engaged from start to finish and creates an atmosphere that is both educational and uplifting. We truly could not have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Kara to any school, program, or organization looking to support both students and staff through mindful wellness practices.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kara several times within my role of Program Quality Specialist. Her first interaction with our childcare system was offering a Professional Development Day to our center on the North Shore that was titled: From the Inside Out: Cultivating emotional well-being in educators and teachers. Teachers walked away from this training with hands on tools to create a sense of calm and bring mindfulness into their everyday routines. The teachers shared that they enjoyed Kara’s workshop and felt energized and motivated to bring her ideas into the classroom.
After receiving this feedback, we booked Kara for an all-staff in-service day. All our teachers, directors and program staff were present, about 150 people in total. She did a session called Mindful Reset: Simple Practices to Manage Stress & Support Emotional Well-being. Kara provided easy, accessible tools for educators from different walks of life to embrace and implement. She did this with humor, ease, creativity, and thoughtfulness. Here are some of the things our staff had to say about the event:
- I loved how she spoke and guided us through our meditations.
- She was so creative with the exercises. It was so helpful and fun!
- We need more trainings like this.
- Perfect 10!
- Kara was so relatable.
- Can we have her back again?
- Everything was perfect!
- I loved that we got to make lavender oil rollers for us to take home.
- It was exactly what we needed, and Kara really helped the staff feel supported. She understood the needs of the team and was able to customize the session in a way that was most impactful.
Kara has gone on to offer several different sessions with our sites including children’s yoga in our classrooms and mindfulness and yoga workshops for the staff. She has been delightful to work with, professional, and responsive. We highly recommend her knowledge, expertise, and passion for sharing these tools and practices.

Through her personalized approach to meditation, spirituality, healthy eating and exercise, Kara puts an emphasis on lasting change, rather than diets or the latest fads. She truly listens to your needs, meets you where you are with a warm understanding and uses proven frameworks of accountability to help you meet your goals. Her transparency about her own life journey allowed me to be vulnerable and grow. I came to see Kara as a vested partner in my own success. More than anything, she's helped me treat myself and others with more compassion and understanding. I confidently recommend Kara to anyone looking to take their life to the next level! - Adam
