About Me

Hi I’m Karen.

Mother, daughter, sister, partner, friend. I’ve been married, divorced, had the highs and the lows. Like you, I have experienced life and done many of ‘the things.’ 

I’ve been involved in the Tarot for many years, completing my studies with Anne Shotter back in 1995. Following that up with studies at the Voyager School of Tarot, and time on the ground spent with the likes of James Wanless, Rachel Pollack and others.  The Tarot has been a vehicle that has taken me down interesting roads and into the lives of many beautiful souls.  

It might be true to say that healing is in my blood as I have studied it in many forms: spiritual healing with channelling, spirit guides, reiki and trance, healing with nature via garden therapy, permaculture, flower essences and aromatics, physical healing with massage and yoga, and mental and emotional healing with counselling, past life regression and clinical hypnotherapy.  

These days I am taking a more relaxed approach to work. There is more enthusiasm and heart for supporting You than there is in ticking boxes. Rather than maintaining clinical rooms, for example, I’m seeing the majority of my clients online, with just a few coming to my home office. The Tarot and Healing Intensives are held at local venues with the intention of leaning into and being part of the community, while the Seasonal Retreats and the Wild Woman Book Circles happen at the Cottage to keep them personal, and in line with permaculture principles.

  • “Karen helped me find myself again and brought everything I needed for success to the surface. Karen, I owe everything to you; you have made my heart happy again, and you have put the life back inside of me. You have given me freedom, and you have helped me find my magic, and now that I have it, the sky is the limit. What you have given me, I will have that for the rest of my life, and I am so grateful. Thankyou.”

  • “This has changed my way of thinking. It has given me a life gift which is a sense of calm and harmony. I'm thankful to you Karen a million times for your incredible help!!!"

    — A.K. (client)

  • “What a remarkable journey. I'm not saying it’s easy, I have to work at it every day, but it’s becoming easier every day. I love my life, I love me, I'm finally at peace with myself, the noise has gone from my head.”

    -M.B. (client)

  • "For fifteen years I’ve been dealing with anxiety and depression. I’ve been to many psychologists, tried CBT. None of which helped me long-term. I found Karen while trawling through Google. After reading the testimonials I gave Karen a call. This is hands down the best decision I've made in years. I've made huge improvements in my life! I'm really enjoying rediscovering who I am, and looking forward to being the person I've always wanted to be.”
