Karen has been a certified healing touch practitioner since 2011. She has a passion for educating people on the beneifits of healing touch in the promotion of self care.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Science in Management.  I have been interested in energy healing and holistic health practices for many years, and became a Reiki Master prior to finding Healing Touch.  In September 2016, I became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner (CHTP).

I have raised and bred Shetland Sheepdogs for over 30 years and have many dog clients (and their owners) that love Healing Touch.

  A native of Denmark, I have lived permanently in the US since 1988 and practiced for nearly four decades as a nurse in various settings, including medical/surgical, infectious disease (HIV/AIDS), oncology and home care and hospice in rural and urban areas. I now teach languages and substitute and tutor in the public school systems

  My focus has always been on the whole person, the physical, emotional, soul and spirit. Adding healing touch was a natural progression and personal growth experience for me. My background as a nurse helps guide me as I follow the energy in healing touch sessions and the inclusion of healing touch in my daily practice as a nurse has enriched my work life and given me new tools to bring about healing and harmony in patients and clients.  

 As a healing touch practitioner, I volunteered at a health crisis center, Pathways in Minneapolis until its closure after Covid and now see clients at my home in St Paul's Highland Park neighborhood.

Transformative Care Tailored to Your Needs

 I offer two unique ways to support your well-being and growth: personalized Healing Touch sessions and the Intuition Unleashed coaching program. Each is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re seeking relief from physical or emotional pain or looking to expand your inner potential.

1:1 Healing Touch Sessions: Relief, Restoration, and Support

When life’s challenges weigh you down physically, emotionally, or spiritually, Healing Touch provides a gentle yet powerful way to restore balance and ease. These hands-on or distance sessions are tailored to address your specific needs, offering benefits like:

• Accelerating wound healing and soothing "boo-boos."
• Relieving pain, including back, head, shoulder, neck, joint, burn, and chronic pain.
• Alleviating flu-like symptoms and stress-related discomfort.
• Deepening relaxation and reducing stress for a calmer, clearer mind.
• Enhancing spiritual connection and supporting holistic health maintenance.
• Preparing for or recovering from medical procedures and treatments.
• Easing transitions during the dying process with grace and peace.

Healing Touch is also effective in supporting the impact of a wide range of health conditions and challenges, including:

• Anxiety and depression.
• Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
• Autoimmune disorders.
• Sleep disturbances.
• Cancer treatment side effects.
• Post-surgical recovery.
• Grief and loss.

These sessions complement traditional medical care, helping to accelerate healing, reduce discomfort, and support your overall well-being.
