“I had been suffering from depression and anxiety for years when I started seeing Kara. She helped me identify distinct moments in my childhood that were the root of my pain. She helped me heal that little girl who was hurt which subsequently healed my adult psychic wounds. She also taught me how to access my unconscious mind to help me understand problems and dilemmas that I face in my daily life. I can honestly say that I haven't been depressed since I completed my work with Kara. She truly changed my life.”

Tina Olson, Finance Director City of Pleasanton

“I have known Kara on a variety of levels over the years and have found her to be a woman of compassion and kindness. Her skill of working with others offers a nurturing doorway in moving forward through the pain and/or finding yourself emotionally stuck. Foremost Kara has recognized and taken to heart that we all learn from integrating our own healing process and that in turn allows us to be more fully present when working with others. Through the years I have seen Kara step into her own deeper wisdom and trust in knowing what is called for at the moment. Kara is a warm-hearted and compassionate woman who cares deeply about her work and how she can facilitate the healing of her clients in moving towards a happy and healthier life. She offers to others what she has learned and practiced within herself.”

“I’ve been in rigorous esoteric workshops, retreats, and gatherings with Kara for the past five years or so. She’ll break every internalized stereotype you ever had. She is an old soul who not only went to hell and back in this life, I’m sure that her wisdom, expansive love, powerful magical healing touch, and natural shamanic know-how are an accumulation of what she endured in previous lifetimes just as bad or far worse – and yet, here she is! Exuberant, joyful, compassionate, fierce, glorious. I’m certain that there is absolutely nothing that you could bring to her that won’t shrink in her presence.”

“This woman changed my life. If you are ready to do some REAL work on yourself and lead a healthy life then she's the person to go to. With truth as the guiding force, Kara provided me tools to help deal with extreme anxiety. With a rough upbringing I have sought counseling throughout my life which is probably upwards of over 20 practitioners and I have to say her approach has been the most successful out of them all.”

Amber Mc Intosh

“I have worked with Kara for over two years and consider her to be one of the most transformative healers I have ever worked with. Her broad range of skills and many years of experience in addressing the mental, physical, and energetic bodies of her clients give her a level of pragmatism and flexibility that is rare in the healing community and highly effective at treating the individual on a holistic level. My work with Kara has helped me to recover from years of abuse and emotional imbalance. The road to recovery is winding and sometimes challenging, but Kara is always able to meet me wherever I am and provide the help and healing that I most need. She has helped me change my life in an empowering and compassionate way. I am truly grateful to have worked with her.”

Denise Colby, Depth Hypnosis Practitioner

“Kara is super keen, tough, and really supportive. She recently helped me through a difficult life transition that had dragged out for years and was long overdue. Even after our sessions she followed up with me and was really quick to respond when I needed to see her. Some of the sessions were fairly intense for me, but every time I walked out my eyes had been opened more to the truth of the situation I had been dealing with. When she says she’ll help you she really will. Kara is the bees knees!”

Meredith Armstrong, Reiki Master & Artist

“Real deal energy work right here, this woman will show you ways to change, and hold you accountable to your words and actions while remaining judgment-free through the whole process. I always felt very cared for and trusting of Kara and that is beyond important. Karallyn helped me navigate some of the darkest and most confusing times of my life. I am not sure I would have made it without help. Straightforward to the point in a calm, loving, and direct manner that goes far beyond just new-age fluff. this is the real deal right here, 5 stars because 6 isn't an option.”

David Landes, Project Manager

“After many years of suffering from debilitating depression and anxiety, and after several tries with different forms of therapy, I spent two years in the deepest depression I had known. Urged by my family, I began the search for a coach and found Kara. Kara is a warm, unconditionally loving, and accepting person, free of judgment, and she doesn’t subscribe to convention. A clear departure from the cold and clinical therapeutic setting I had grown accustomed to. I quickly began sessions every two weeks and with her support and my honest willingness to look at myself and come to terms with the thoughts that had held me captive for years, I was able to break down mental and emotional barriers and finally find peace within myself…

The work I have done with Kara has changed my life, down to the core of my being. Kara is truly doing the work she is meant to be doing, and I am so grateful to be a part of that. I am proud to say that today I love myself and I embrace all my differences, which make me who I am. Words could never adequately express what Kara has done for me and I will forever be grateful to her.“

Ellen Hunt

"Kara consistently demonstrates a unique blend of what I call 'toughness and tenderness'. She is very compassionate yet at times graciously bold. Kara is very insightful and competent regarding human behavior and how to assist physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering. I believe that Kara is especially talented and gifted and appreciate her help.”

Sunshine P., Entrepreneur

“As other clients have mentioned in their raving reviews, Kara is a beautifully powerful healer. She helped me unveil some very deeply rooted beliefs I've apparently been holding on to my whole life that have limited me on my path. Kara guided me through a profound and transformational process in which I was fully engaged. She helped me understand my areas of resistance and how to connect to the root "mother" issues and the source of my chronic health ailments. With her guidance, I was able to reach some pretty profound "Aha" moments that cracked me wide open, and felt like I had figured out how to turn the key to self-discovery and deeper healing. No doubt, it's a life-long work in progress, but this has been a game-changer in how I perceive myself and how to navigate moving forward. I'm still processing our healing sessions and using the tools she has provided (I recommend recording your sessions with her if you can). Kara is so knowledgeable, empathetic, and loving- and her balanced, multi-dimensional approach is uniquely amazing. I feel uplifted and empowered! She's golden.”

Jacqueline S.

“I came to Kara during a big turning point in my life. Though I was on the path, I knew I needed some spiritual support to address some really dark spiritual history. As a result of our sessions, I gained strength, confidence, wisdom, and skills to address future challenges. Kara was kind, intelligent, nonjudgmental, and grounded. I think I most appreciated her frank way of communicating with me and I never felt like she was stringing me along. She was always very clear about meeting my goals and then moving on or closing from there. I always really looked forward to our sessions. She was an integral part of my journey.”
