Welcome.
I’m Karen, founder of Awakening Heart and Soul, I see each individual as a unique expression of creativity. I love supporting people grow, expand consciousness and embody potential to step into their lives. To define a new version of success that aligns with who you are. Growing from the inside out.
I invite you to dive deeper into the parts of you that you have forgotten but your soul remembers....

A call deep within wanting to be heard...
Longing for freedom — heart and soul...
What I Care About.
I have a deep belief that when each of us lives in alignment with who we are, our unique strengths and potential, that’s when we have the capacity to truly make a difference in the world.
A big part of my work is bringing awareness to help people better understand themselves and others.
Everything is alive. Every thing has spirit and awareness.
Energy and matter are the same. Everything is vibration. Everything that exists is an energy system within a greater energy system.
Everything that exists is connected to everything else within a web of energy or life.
Unseen inner and spiritual reality affect visible reality.
Working with Me.
I believe the world needs more people who are continually growing and evolving into better versions of themselves. Whose growth and development has a positive ripple effect.
That’s why I help people to deeply align with who they are. To live a life that’s as successful on the inside as it looks on the outside.
Working with me you will be working with someone who loves connecting dots and bringing meaning out of confusion. I believe the best is already within people and I’m here to help them bring it out.
I help you gently dig deep into your mindset. Blocks, internal battles, complex trauma, ptsd, the things that stop you moving forward or send you in wrong direction.
I blend the internal and external.

Who am I.
I am a modern day-shaman, somatic embodiment coach and mentor, subtle energy healer and somatic experiencing™ trauma therapist based in Toronto, Canada. The focus of my work is the embodiment of consciousness and supporting my clients in aligning with their deeper self.
The Beginning.
My story is a living, breathing example of my philosophy and my work. We can create a life that aligns with how we want to live and more importantly with who we are.
My path took a radical change when I found myself diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 27. Something needed to change. Little did I know that it would be nearly everything.
My next few years were spent exploring: healing who I was and where I came from. There were dark and confusing periods. I became more intimate with my own disconnection; repeatedly learning to relinquish my grip on the familiar and make new, radical choices.
My Journey.
I took a leap of faith, choosing to listen to my inner wisdom, looking directly into my personal biography to find the learnings in it..
On my journey back to health I re-evaluated my life, beliefs and and the predominantly western philosophies about illness. This provided profound spiritual and mystical experiences.
I followed my heart seeking greater fulfillment. Such a bold and unexpected choice had led me on a journey full of questions, into uncharted territory and on a new adventure: embracing life.

“The work with Karen is some of the deepest I’ve experienced. Her unique approach somehow reaches around all of me and it feels like she holds my soul’s highest intentions for me as we work. It is truly an amazing experience, a pleasure and a privilege to work with her. If you get a chance to work with her – grab it and never look back.”

What determines who you are?
“fate is what chooses you — destiny is what you choose”.
“Mentoring support was essential to my development as a naturopath. I was burnt out. Sessions with Karen supported me to take good care of myself while I continued supporting my clients. The more awareness I brought to my own early experiences, the more present I was with my clients.”
