Kara has always had a knack of connecting with animals and children, especially Inner Children in others. As many others have experienced in their own journey, her gifts started showing up in childhood, however resources to help her understand or express what was happening just weren’t available then as they are now. The journey to access and bring out her abilities has been ongoing in adulthood.
Life and experience have been great educators for Kara and she brings a unique blend of these experiences and knowledge to her sessions. Lessons often showed up in the form of pain, illness, accidents, unhealthy relationships, and life situations, an uncomfortable way to grow that too many are familiar with, have experienced and are happy and willing to change. Each experience was an opportunity to learn more about herSelf. Although she appeared outwardly social, happy and friendly, inside she felt shy, withdrawn, and uncomfortable in social situations. She knew there had to be another way to navigate life in a happier and healthier way.
Eventually her search for relief, balance and wholeness led her to a holistic path. It was an opportunity to explore her own natural (healing) abilities, as well as provide gentle and healthy tools to bring more ease and balance in herself and her life. The more she tried, the more she learned and the more she learned, the more she wanted to learn.
Opportunities began to appear and align which led her to try a Neuro Integration (NI) session, which created a noticeable shift for her, eventually leading her to learning to do NI herself. Certified as a Neuro Integration practitioner in 2006, she had a voracious appetite to know herself and learn through doing integrations on herself (as well as others).
She experienced what she now understands was a spiritual awakening (triggering) experience when she was laid off of her corporate job in 2007. She was unhappy there, knew this was needed and the Universe was assisting her in taking the leap, though it was not an easy change. She felt the pressures of the outside world and a few months later found herself back in a smaller scale version of the corporate world. She was unhappy once again.
In 2008, she started receiving guidance and feeling a “calling” to do more. With support and encouragement from friends and loved ones, she took a bigger leap from the corporate world to become a holistic practitioner and guide for others, however her first step was to travel to England, for reasons she didn’t understand, but chose to listen. She went with the flow and traveled with pure faith and experienced more magic and miracles than she could ever imagine. There are still many untold stories from that adventure and the picture of the tree and tree roots from Avebury on her website are reminder of the connections and experiences she made there.
Over time, her natural talents and abilities began emerging, just as she was told by an intuitive in 2007. Her biggest challenge was the awareness of needing to get out of her head, approaching each session conscious of this, and trusting her intuition and just letting it flow.
Since she learned to do NI with animals, it was a natural next step to have sessions with animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, chickens and more, they have been some of her greatest teachers and still are. Sessions with children were an adventure too. She found children and animals fun to work with and their comfort in working with her made it easy. Those experiences were helpful in working with adults and showed her how to be present with others and their Inner Child more effectively.
Communication is a big part of Kara’s life path and learning various forms of communication seems to be an important part of her journey. As she chose her college classes based on her interests, eventually that paved the way for her to earn her BS in Organizational and Interpersonal Communication. This avenue of study assisted in broadening and refining her communication knowledge and skills to align with her natural and intuitive talents while surprisingly preparing her for the role she finds herself in now.
Unexpectedly, she found herself working in the field of Information Technology. While technology is low on her interest level, the experience of working with computers became quite helpful in enhancing her skills and understanding of the (human and animal) brain and body connection which in turn helped her understand computers. An unlikely match, the blend of technical and intuitive turned out to be beneficial education and training. Adding to her communication background, she developed an IT helpdesk which provided her the opportunity to be liaison, interpreter, and educator, between the IT folks and non-IT folks as there tends to be communication differences. This experience turned out to be a reflection of her ability to be liaison and interpreter for seen and unseen communication all around us, as well as educate others to do the same.
Kara is aware she is a “work in progress”. Her philosophy for a long time has been “learn something new every day” and she embraces the opportunity to learn and grow in every moment in more joyful, gentle and easy ways. We all have an opportunity to tap into even more than we ever imagined. She is excited to welcome and embrace parts of her yet to be revealed as well as assist and guide others in embracing theirs. She is dedicated to living her passion with honor and integrity, while leading the way and empowering others to awaken to the Divinity within them and their lives.
