Testimonials

Having had no experience with reiki/energy healing I was unsure what to expect. Kari made the experience so wonderful! She makes you feel comfortable and shares her amazing insight with you after the session. I came away uplifted, peaceful and inspired. I would highly recommend! -Beth M.

 

I would like to thank Kari for her amazing reiki and energy healing work, that she does so well. She is a gifted healer, channel and intuitive who has such a beautiful heart for others and infuses each session with compassion and love. If you are looking for a wonderful opportunity to experience energy work, in a safe environment and with clear understanding, I would happily recommend Kari; she is phenomenal! -Troy H.

 

I feel safe with Kari. Her warm and positive presence immediately puts me at ease, and her reiki work helps me feel lighter and grounded. -Kat L.

 

I’ve sought out Kari for both in-person and distance reiki/energy healing. She’s an extremely sensitive and generous reiki provider with powerful insights. With distance sessions, I have noticed immediate relief from physical pain and anxiety that I was dealing with, and then when she and I talk afterward she will give feedback regarding very specific and real issues that I am having both physically and emotionally. She is a very perceptive healer who fosters a very safe, relaxing and healing experience. -Rachel E.

 

I have had several sessions with Kari and her work is amazing! She is very in tune with the energy body and I can feel how intuitive she is by her work. She is able to scan my body and sense where there may be issues both in the past and in current time. I highly recommend a session with her! You will leave feeling lighter, calmer and free from worry 🙂 -Carly S.

 

I worked with Kari for a remote reiki/energy healing session and it’s hard to put into words how special the experience was. Kari is a dear soul to me and I was more than familiar with her healing qualities but as this was my first remote session with anyone, I admittedly had some doubts about how it would work. Kari’s process is extremely efficient and comfortable. She provides the perfect balance of communication and independence so you can truly receive this work in any setting. I was able to set some time to relax in solitude and within 10 minutes of our session I felt the exact same type of presence Kari emanates in person. I entered into a deep relaxation and felt a sense of peace I was hoping for. However, what happened when I listened to her audio notes is what has set this experience apart from none other. Kari was able to precisely locate injuries I had not yet shared with her or anyone else! She released stubborn attachments that no amount of personal pep talks had been able to touch. the days following I felt energetically the lightest I had been in years. I am excited to continue working with Kari and her ever evolving beautiful gifts. -Katie I.

Going into Reiki, I knew little to nothing about it  but that it was a type of energy work. I had been in therapy, and felt I needed something to assist me in my healing journey in addition to talk therapy. I went into the session with Kari with an open mind but not knowing what to expect. She was very thorough in her explanation of how the session would work. I felt instantly comfortable and trusting of her. We had the consultation and spoke again after the session. The next day, I noticed I was no longer having the same thought patterns or feelings towards certain things that I had been having for months. I felt lighter and excited as if I had a new lease on life. I was so thrilled, I shared my experience with my sister and she immediately booked a session for herself. Now we have each had three sessions and feel like new people!  It’s like I’m closer to the core of who I truly am again. I can’t thank Kari enough for being a person with this gift that I can trust to work with me through Reiki. I will continue this work in the future as I believe it will be beneficial to me in my life! Tessa E. 

 

Working with Kari has been one of the biggest blessings since I have moved to Winston-Salem. We met at a cacao ceremony, something I had never done and had a million questions about since I had never signed a health waiver before eating a Hershey’s bar before, but she answered all my questions and I realized I was worried for no reason at all and was in store for something beyond wonderful. It was such an enlightening ceremony and the environment was so welcoming. I decided after that to work with Kari one on one for reiki sessions and… wow. Reiki with Kari is unlike any other reiki session I’ve had. She is educated in so many different spiritual theories (light energy, archangels, spirit guides, past life, ancestral work, soul contracts) that you get so much information from so many different areas that it’s really wonderful to explore so many paths after your session and how it was meant to be received. On top of that, we never just immediately hop on the table and let the energy take over, which I personally adore. We unpack how each session resonated over the time since our last session, get spiritually psychological over all that has been going on, and set an intention for what the physical body needs in addition to the mind body. It is also very much a two-way session that leads to beautiful conversations after the table work of what we each experienced and how it is interpreted for my path. Kari is so lovely and so generously gracious with her time and energy. I cannot wait for all the work we continue to do together, and could not recommend her enough!

-Deanna H

Session with Kari was amazing, unexpected and absolutely magical. I am a healer myself and I attended sessions of many psychic healers who worked in different modalities and even though I had reiki and light language experiences before I must admit that Kari’s healing style is  totally unique and inspiring while her energy is deeply healing by itself apart of any modalities she uses or will ever use. I deeply resonated with Kari’s visions that she shared during the session and I believe that these visions activated my intuition and clairvoyance on a newer level and had a life changing meaning for me. I had an online session but I felt us being in the same space which is safe and full of love, and I once again received the confirmation that there are no limits or borders for light and healing, the session was just as effective as if we were at the same room. I also felt that the healing energies were 100% saved in the recording of the session and I was listening quietly to the session recording on repeat during sleep during following week receiving even more healing from our connection. When I looked into Kari’s eyes I felt like we were friends for centuries and felt completely safe with her, but somehow I didn’t tell her the intention I had for the session, I wrote it down but never showed it to Kari. After the session I realized I don’t feel any drama or lower energies around my intention, and it started to manifest in my physical life very quickly, I didn’t have any expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised to look at my situation in a month and observe how far I came with Kari’s precious support. Veronika-Ukraine

 

After having experienced session with Kari myself, I offered my husband to have a session with Kari too. Before meeting Kari I didn’t know how physical traumas received in childhood may be stored in bones and DNA while connected to psychological limitations we got from our family lineage, so I was grateful that Kari highlighted this information in her Instagram, it gave us a lot of insights and I felt this was a sign for my husband to let go the childhood trauma that was bothering him all of his life. My beloved was excited to take that chance and in the end he benefited from the session more than he expected to. He saw what limitation was attached to this trauma, he was able to let go both the dramatic experience and the negative program connected to it, he felt free, strong and light. His decision making became faster and self confidence boosted. I am really happy to observe my husband accepting his body more after transmuting the energy of trauma, because that is what I wish for all the people especially the ones I love the most. Healing with Kari is deep, awesome and suitable for all, it’s soft, loving, easy digestible and grounds quickly into physical reality. My husband and I are grateful for our unforgettable meeting with true Earth Angel Kari.-Veronika re Misha-Ukraine

Happy Lion’s Gate portal from our resident Lyran Happy Lion’s Gate portal from our resident Lyran.  The number 8 is a power number, associated with abundance and achievement. And with double 8’s this is really a time to focus on what you want to make manifest in our lives.  Ancient Egyptians celebrated this day as the beginning of a new year, so we can use this as an opportunity to let go of what isn’t serving and begin on a new course of direction. Back to school time y’all!  I really think about the intensity of the Leo sun during Lionsgate helping me opening up that fiery passion within. Make things happen for yourself! Harness this cosmic astrological alignment’s energy!  Go grab some of your freakiest crystals and meditate; see where it takes you and what new insights or ideas may come through.  We are divine stardust anyway and we are all connected, so we might as well leverage it!

Being in almost total isolation for two weeks sent Being in almost total isolation for two weeks sent me to the depths of the dark, not because I fear being alone, but because it allowed a light to be shone in the, until then, unreachable recesses of my mind stories. It allowed me to see things from an even higher bird’s eye view than I usually do and I felt the tightest grips of existential despair before I felt the liberating joy of freedom.  Last night, I had the pleasure of sitting with a beautiful group of beings and experiencing overwhelming joy of being together in community, being seen, having the opportunity to care for others, and to be cared for.  What a beautiful thing to be a uniques expression of God/Source/Creation! What a honor to be incarnated and embodied. What an amazing opportunity to see where humanity is headed. I’m here for it! And I am so grateful!
It’s about to get real deep up in here. Maybe ph It’s about to get real deep up in here. Maybe philosophically or maybe up to the knees in crap, you decide.  When grappling with existential dread, feeling like there really just is no meaning except for the arbitrary meanings I assign, and that none of the meanings available I had examined felt true….I utilize this exercise of extrapolating out to the worst case scenarios in order to get clarity. And here it is: I can leave this existence at any time, by choice, with consequences, but absolutely within my power and control. Whew! What a relief! Now, I have no desire to do that, but simply sitting in the knowing of this freeing thought has given me full curiosity in sticking around.  What a cool opportunity to be embodied here on earth! What an interesting experiment to express yourself individually, temporarily apart from the Oneness. What a unique experience to feel all the range of things, like joy and dread?  Yeah, I’m going to stick around and see how this thing shakes out. Playing between realms for funsies and exploring what this incarnation can reveal.  Do you ever feel existential dread? Or do you have this human thing figured out for yourself? LMK your tips + tricks for being a human. 🤍
You know what rolls around in my mind since I was You know what rolls around in my mind since I was literally four years old???? I just really, really, really want to know….God/Source/Universe how the f*#k did you get here, and where is here exactly? Is reality even real? Come on quantum physics, help me out here?  I used to play this “game” when I was a little girl…this is me, this is my bed, this is my room, this is my house, etc. and I would extrapolate out until I got to creator and then I would be like, but WHERE DID IT COME FROM????? And my parents would exasperatedly answer me, “he’s just always been there sweetie”. My four to 7 year old self called bullshit every time. Unacceptable, too vague, does not compute, does not add up, where even is there.  The idea of the ourobouros or infinite loop or inhale/exhale somewhat appeases me as an adult so that I can move on to more embodied activities while still incarnated, but dang..it’s challenging. If any of these nerdy words strike a cord with you, welcome friend. Wanna go insane philosophizing and contemplating cosmology together?
