Hi, I'm Karen!  Here is a little bit of info about who I am and how I came to this point in my journey.

The first thing to know is that I am, and always have been, an Empath.  This has been both a blessing and a curse.  Having spent the majority of my life depressed and overwhelmed, I finally found a therapist who told me that I was  a Highly Sensitive Person, (shrink-speak for EMPATH!) and that medication would "fix" that.  Well...fast forward 12 years, and after delving into Reiki training head first, attending workshops and classes to learn more about psychic development, mediumship, and animal communication, it finally all just clicked for me.  I discoverd that I was not crazy, and that the dead people and animals that I saw and had communicated with in the past were real.  I had a gift.  My father had told me decades ago about Aunt Susie, who was "a little odd"...she knew things before they happened, and I'm guessing that may be where this comes from.  Who knows, really?  I believe we are all born with these abilities, but it is forced out of us because it "isn't real". We just need to re-learn our gifts.

In 2019, I found a local psychic medium who was also a Reiki Master/Teacher who was offering Reiki classes.  I had heard about Reiki, wasn't sure about it, did some research and thought, "yeah, I could do that!" and signed myself up.  I acutally wound up fast tracking over the next few months, and in September of that year, I received my certification as a Usui Reiki Master.  One thing I seemed to do very well at during my training was Aura Clearing (Reiki Psychic Surgery) which helps with healing deeper seeded issues and attachments.  I currently provide both in-person and distance Reiki to not only people, but pets as well.  I will eventually start teaching Reiki classes as well, once we are allowed to have gatherings of people without fear of this pandemic we currently find ourselves in.  

I have always been an animal lover, and have always had a special connection with animals.  When any of my pets have passed with me present, I have always felt when their spirit has left their earthly body - I thought I was imagining it, but after attending several psychic development, mediumship and animal communication classes and workshops, I came to realize that it was EXACTLY what I was experiencing.  During these classes, I also came to realize that I COULD see dead people and animals both, and it brought back to mind soooo many instances that I had, but had chalked it up to "just my imagination", because that is what we are taught, isn't it?  So now I provide Animal Communication, Animal Mediumship and can also help when a pet is ready to transition.  

Psychics have always fascinated me...how they would read tarot and oracle cards, palm reading, tea leaf reading, to using the crytal ball to tell the past, present and future - I had always wanted to learn, but never found the time, never took the time.  But I decided that I needed to learn it NOW.  Everything in me wanted me to start working on developing my inate gifts.  Since that first Reiki class, that is what I have been doing, and continue to do.  Learning is a never ending thing.  We all learn new things every day.  I'm definitely no Master Tarot reader, but I think I'm pretty good for where I'm at with my learning.  As I get more experience and learn the cards and their intracacies, I find my readings, which I prefer to do intuitively at this point, are actually quite accurate.  I still amaze myself most days!
