Discover the Power of Your Consciousness

Karen’s strongest tool is her ability to create and hold space for people while they sort through emotions and sometimes even unravel. It is comforting, not scary and always comes with the assurance that there is a friendly face to anchor to – a tether while you find yourself. But what is more welcome, is how Karen has created space where I don’t rely on her to move forward. She isn’t a crutch; but more like a lighthouse, if and when one needs it in a storm.

After my chemotherapy and radiation treatment, I had to return to my ‘normal’ life, I started feeling a lot of fear and anxiety. During this time, I was introduced to Karen. I liked the idea of therapy through art and realized that art was an aid to therapy and not about learning to paint and draw. The sessions brought out a lot of issues. I soon realized that there were other causes for the anxiety and fear besides just my illness and recovery. With Karen’s help I became aware of perspectives and patterns of behaviour that I needed to alter for my own wellbeing. The best tool she has given me is to be aware of how my anxiety affects my body and what I can do in moments of extreme anxiety and fear to come back to a normal state. My mind has been introduced to new ways of being and finding my way in the world.

Given how the last two years were and that combined with dealing with some of my own personal demons, I felt lost. I felt that I wasn’t in control and I had lost my anchor. And then Karen happened. The first thing she did was to make me feel that I was in a safe space, I was at a point where I questioned myself a lot which was most of the time, just added to the frustration. Post sessions I felt much more in control. Each day since then has been just reinforcing all the goo bits and dealing with the not-so-good bits for what they actually are. And I don’t have anyone else but Karen to give credit for that.

Paints were challenging. Not really something I gravitate toward. But I have come to understand that I need to push my boundaries and your guided paths have really been a revelation in terms of pushing myself and more importantly being a medium of unexpected learnings. Thank you for the time, effort and engagement that shows right from the first session. I hope you know that the work you do is appreciate more than expressed.
