Testimonials

Before starting coaching with Kari, some of my greatest challenges were:  Allergies and sensitivities to almost all foods and nutritional supplements, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and high anxiety

I was in fight or flight a lot of the time due to reactions and the fear of reactions. I also had amped up emotions like anger and helplessness due to the reactions.  This caused me to isolate as I was afraid of lashing out at my kids and family.

Prior to meeting Kari I tried almost every kind of practitioner out there.  You name it, I did it! Many of them helped a little bit but not enough to make a difference.

Kari helped me clear the limiting beliefs I had around food and eating.  We cleared all the “food rules” which all of the different diets and ways of eating ingrain in us.

It was also amazing to be empowered to do my own healing. Kari taught me a process to heal all the suppressed emotions I had as well as to heal the feelings in the moment that I feel them.  This was a new experience for me as I was a master of suppression and anti-anxiety medication helped me to not have to feel my feelings.

The biggest gifts I received from working with Kari are Joy and Freedom.  I no longer have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.  In fact, I don’t even notice most scents anymore.  Before I was “on alert” as soon as I walked in a building.

I am eating a wide variety of foods.  My family and I can eat the same foods which simplifies shopping and cooking.  I can go out in the world without having reactions or even the fear that I will react so I can shop for my family in stores. 

My body is no longer in severe pain and I’ve returned to doing yoga.  I have more energy so I can do things I enjoy including jogging and playing with my kids. I’m more engaged with my family and friends as I don’t have to spend so much time alone and re-grouping.  I’m doing more activities with friends and Spiritual communities.  I feel peaceful, confident and empowered.

Before starting Coaching with Kari some of my greatest challenges were:

1. a) Physical pain: The specific pain Kari helped me with was muscle tightness in the back of my skull. The pain was distracting, and caused difficulty concentrating, focusing and getting work done.
2. b) Challenge with Healing: I had been experiencing various pains and other health challenges.
3. c) Difficulty getting support: I’d been debating for months and couldn’t get clarity about whether to hire a specific Naturopath. Kari offered me an opportunity to learn how to support myself with some of my health issues.

When Kari worked with me she used her Energy Healing skills to resolve the pain. I appreciated the opportunity to learn skills to help myself and take care of myself with health needs. When I experienced pain recently I was able to do some of the peace process on it and I got relief. I felt empowered to support myself and felt stronger knowing I wouldn’t have to endure pain so long. I feel more comfortable and confident and able to help myself and get pain relief (release).

Overall, I experienced learning, healing and growth. As a result, I feel more comfortable and confident in learning and in group participation, training and at meetings. I feel more prepared to participate in groups.

My favorite aspects of coaching were learning to use Energy tools to support myself. I also felt comfortable working with Kari since she is so accepting and she tuned in to help me support myself and to provide the support I need.

Kari’s coaching style was very caring and tuned in and accepting of where I was at and some of the obstacles I was experiencing. Throughout the whole process I felt compassion, acceptance, care and personalized support which made learning easier. Kari listens consciously and is easy to communicate with and laugh with and brings lightness to each session. I value and appreciate those qualities.

The 2 areas I worked on the most in coaching were Health and Relationships.

Health: I couldn’t feel the results of taking diabetes medicine.  I was cut off from my body.  I couldn't hear when it told me things weren’t working because I couldn’t do things differently.

Kari inspired me to work on physical pains. We resolved them in the moment with the Peace Process and the other energy healing techniques that she uses.   I spent 50 years tuning out from my body because things hurt and I couldn’t fix them.  It was better to just ignore that it hurt.  Now I have time and space to go, “ oh yea that HURTS.  And of course that hurts," and move past the emotional part.  Now I’m tuning back in and taking time and space to feel.

I had eliminated many foods from my diet and was able to add foods back in and experience less stress by eating what’s available.   I’m able to listen to myself about what’s healthy instead of listening to outside sources like a chiropractor. 

 

Relationships: I experienced lots of people that said they loved me but there were betrayals and lies and people just not being there.  Also, my job was toxic for me.

As a result of all the coaching with Kari, I’ve become more loving and accepting and those people have left my life.  I’m not so attached or triggered when others don’t follow through or when they don’t connect and there’s fallout.  It's not a problem for me now.  Now I'm being more loving and most of the old crappy relationships have left my life.  I changed jobs, and where I live and my primary relationships. Now I have great clients and tenants and my support systems are actually supportive now.  I don’t have the crazy and chaos and I have continued faith and more clarity about where to put my time and energy.

 Coaching with Kari was one of the few things that actually worked in my life.  She understood me and checked in to get clarity.  She didn’t try to problem solve -helped me to see what is. She supported me, named things and acknowledged feelings, “of course that’s how you feel, and of course you would feel that way.”  Everything was infused with Lots of love and that’s what made the difference. 

I appreciated knowing I could show up fully, not be judged and spill my guts. I could count on Kari at every session to catch and hold and love completely.  She’d give me a whole different view on some of the situations.  In the past I felt judged and misunderstood.  Kari empowered me to trust myself and allowed my potential to rise.

1 ½ years after coaching-I still go back over my notes and mental images of some of the sessions I had and they continue to give me peace and ah-ha moments.  Kari taught me to listen to myself and my body and its feelings.  I was empowered to do these healing techniques for myself which was really profound and also to trust myself.   I released my allergies to grains and meats and am enjoying traveling and ordering off the menus at restaurants while remaining comfortable in my body and life. 

I was especially touched by Kari’s kind words both during sessions and in emails.  I appreciate everything Kari did for me!!
