How can I support you?

At the heart of every healthy, respectful, connected relationship – whether with our partner, family, colleagues or friends- lies effective communication. Yet, most of us were never taught how.

Many of us grew up in homes where difficult emotions were shut down, conflict was avoided, or speaking up came with consequences. So, as adults, we’re often throwing darts in the dark, trying to build meaningful relationships without the tools or safety we need to do it differently. To do it well.

If you’re kind, thoughtful, and deeply empathic, chances are you’ve spent a lifetime making sure everyone else is okay – sometimes (or often) at the expense of yourself.

Maybe you find conflict hard to navigate, feel guilty setting boundaries, or constantly walk the fine line between keeping the peace and speaking your truth.

I hear you! I’ve been there too. Exhausted, frustrated, and resentful!

Together, we’ll attend to your inner landscape and gently upgrade what’s no longer working – old patterns, outdated programming, inherited beliefs – so you can begin communicating with clarity, confidence, and calm.

You’ll learn to express your needs without guilt, hold boundaries with grace, and cultivate relationships that feel balanced, respectful, and deeply connected – at work, at home, and within yourself.

Because when our relationships are thriving, life just feels better!!!

Rebuilding Connection at Home

Whether you’re navigating ongoing friction with your partner or feeling disconnected in your parenting, I help you find your way back to understanding, respect, and connection. Together, we’ll explore what’s really happening beneath the surface, develop communication skills that foster collaboration rather than conflict, and create a more harmonious home.

Strained and emotionally charged family dynamics

I help clients navigate the complex, emotionally charged dynamics within their family of origin – the ones that continue well into adulthood. While we can’t change the other person, we can shift how you relate, engage, and honour yourself within the relationship. Together, we interrupt the unhelpful patterns and inherited rigidity passed down through generations, healing old painful wounds and creating a new lineage – one that fosters deeper understanding, emotional safety, and a more peaceful inner experience.

Soul-led, heart-driven… and quietly falling apart?

I support heart-led, sensitive women to reconnect with their authentic selves, grow in grounded confidence, restore their energy, and become loving leaders of their own lives and families. Through gently shifting limiting beliefs and unhelpful behavioural patterns, deepening self-connection, and cultivating empowering daily practices, we rebuild personal power, strengthen inner stability, and expand your sense of agency.

Our Journey together

Self-discovery & conscious awareness

In this foundational stage, together we’ll explore the key experiences and conditioning from your past, including childhood imprinting, that have shaped your beliefs, subconscious programming, communication skillset and behaviours. By identifying your emotional triggers and limiting patterns, skill gaps and understanding how they impact your relationships and life choices, you’ll gain clarity on what is holding you back. This stage is about having compassion for yourself as you cultivate conscious awareness and create a clear vision for how you want to be in relationship with those in your life.

Healing & personal growth

This phase is about building the inner safety and awareness needed for genuine, sustainable change. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and protective strategies that once kept you safe but now limit connection and ease. Through simple, evidence-based tools, we’ll begin to rewire outdated programming, calm the nervous system, and build the capacity to communicate and connect with more clarity, confidence, and compassion. As you grow, you’ll feel steadier in yourself, able to express your needs, set healthy boundaries, and create relationships that feel grounded and alive.

Integration & embodiment

This is where the rubber meets the road, where all that inner work starts to show up in real life. With a steadier nervous system and a stronger sense of self, you’ll begin to integrate what you’ve learned and healed, in the way you communicate, make decisions, and relate to yourself and others.

You’ll notice a renewed sense of self-respect, confidence, and personal power – the kind that comes from trusting yourself deeply. And yes, you can guarantee, life will continue to offer up plenty of opportunities to practise your new skills! (because the universe is watching and cheering you on!). The difference now is, you’ll know how to meet those moments with more calm, clarity, and grace.

Bit by bit, how you treat yourself will shift and how others respond to you will follow. This is embodiment: living the change, not just having a chat about it!

Practice tools and techniques

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that explores the connection between the mind (neuro), language (linguistic), and behavior (programming). It aims to help individuals understand how their thoughts, words, and actions are interconnected and how by reprogramming these patterns, they can dramatically improve their lives and relationships.

Parenting coaching and mentoring

Based on Dr Thomas Gordon’s Parent Effectiveness Training and Althea Solter’s Aware Parenting, these sessions help you upgrade your parenting and family communication toolkit.
With a very practical “how to” element and the depth and transformation that comes when you become aware of how your own personal programming and imprinting are shaping your parenting, these sessions are, honestly, game-changing. 

How Your Family Will Benefit: 

  • Your children will feel more comfortable discussing their concerns with you, fostering open communication rather than withdrawal. 
  • They will develop key traits such as self-discipline, self-control, and a strong sense of personal responsibility. 
  • You’ll learn to collaborate as a family rather than working against each other, promoting unity. 
  • Expect fewer angry outbursts and more effective problem-solving. 
  • Involving everyone in the rule-setting process encourages motivation and compliance with family rules. 
  • You’ll experience fewer power struggles, resulting in reduced tension, less resentment, and more fun, peace, and love in your household. 

What You Will Learn: 

  • How to communicate effectively with your children so they feel heard and understood. 
  • Listening techniques that help your children feel valued and genuinely understood. 
  • Strategies for resolving conflicts in a way that creates win-win outcomes and ensures lasting solutions. 
  • A proven method for troubleshooting family challenges and knowing which skills to apply to specific problems.

Family constellations

Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach that explores and resolves deeply rooted patterns within family systems. It is designed to complement traditional methods like psychotherapy, counseling, and coaching by providing insight into how past generations’ unresolved issues and traumas can affect current family members. It offers a broader, systemic view, helping clients see beyond their individual experiences and connect with deeper familial influences.

In simple terms, Family Constellations works on the idea that many of our emotional and relational difficulties are inherited from our ancestors. These inherited patterns—whether they involve trauma, grief, guilt, or exclusion—can manifest as ongoing challenges in our relationships, health, or general well-being. Even if we are unaware of these dynamics, they can shape how we think, feel, and interact with others.

During a Family Constellations session, a therapist or facilitator guides clients to set up a “constellation” where representatives (or objects) stand in for family members or elements of the issue. This process helps reveal hidden dynamics and unresolved emotions within the family system. Once these patterns come to light, clients can address and release them, allowing for healing and restoration of balance.

I feel extremely blessed to have parts of my personal journey in self-growth and healing guided by Karina. I struggled before I met Karina, as no doctor, psychologist or teacher ever understood my pain and the reasons as to why my feelings were the way they were. I was recommended Karina through someone I hold very close to my heart and whom I completely trust and was told she is someone who takes a holistic and personal approach to teaching and healing.

I began with Karina at a time where it was hard to come to terms with what was hurting me, experiences I was still holding on to but had never processed, the fear of past, future and not feeling safe and grounded enough to be by myself. I had a few past life experiences where at the time I was made to feel ‘this is just what life is about’ ‘you are meant to be hurt by others’, and it wasn’t until I starting seeing Karina, where I realised these are occurrences that have not been processed and so in my present life I came to realise all my sufferings were due to unhealed and unprocessed past experiences.

Karina created a very safe and welcoming space for our sessions, and one that did not feel I was somewhere seeking help, but rather I was in a magical place where anything and everything is okay and welcome. Karina explained to me initially that our sessions were designed as a journey, not a service. She and I would talk over the phone and over text if I ever needed anything or wanted to tell her something, rather than having to wait until our next appointment to talk. This was very new to me and made me feel heard and it helped me trust her and understand that she really does care and is not just another specialist who wants my money.

Karina’s style varied depending on my energy for the day and what issues were on my mind for that day. We would use healing cards, meditation, unconscious mind practices, imagination work, body and movement work, and these were all new tools to me as no other doctor/psychologist had ever used techniques like these. This approach was far more personal as it was decided, depending on the day and what you were feeling, as opposed to feeling like your helper is just reading off a script. Karina helped me through not only the issues I had at that current time, but taught me mindset, connection, and the importance of communication for my future. Karina is a healing teacher I will hold very close to me; she was one of the first people I felt really cared for me and wanted the best for me.

It’s difficult to articulate the way in which a single person can turn your life around and help you to see things differently… a different perspective… a different approach… This has been my experience with Karina.

I’m a driven, passionate and fairly Career-minded Individual, struggling with the day-to-day challenges of raising three busy and energetic young boys, with my husband working long hours and his presence in the most challenging hours of the day being minimal.

I felt emotionally lost, drained, ‘frazzled’ (was a word I used to describe myself).. and after a fall out with very close family members, I reached out to Karina for help… she was my life line.

With Karina’s guidance, I was able to gain a deeper insight into some challenging situations and relationships, enact tangible solutions and most importantly, experience profound healing. This has allowed me to move forward in life with ‘strength and grace’ – two key words that have been a driving force behind my healing journey and now continue to inspire and shape my life

Karina has also guided me through some complex parenting situations, exploring deeply ingrained emotions and ultimately helping to heal some significant traumas.

I very openly describe Karina as the Aunty in my village. She is a wealth of knowledge that I’m so eternally grateful to have found. My journey would be very different without her insight and wisdom.

A life-changing experience for me and my family.
Thankyou Karina 🙏

I have had the good fortune to work with Karina both with my husband and on my own over the past couple of years. The two things that come to mind about Karina are her energy and her authenticity. She is always positive, supportive and willing to help work through something until you not only understand it, but have put it into action and seen how it works for you. Whether it’s a comfortable fit or you need to try something a little different. She helped us reframe many of our patterns into ideas which could be changed and there were many “light bulb” moments of realisation that things could really be done differently.

Karina’s bubbly personality and down-to-earth sense of humour really helped me (and my husband) click with her and I really looked forward to each session. There’s a real sense of her investment in your development – she’s truly cheering for you along the way. I also really value her practicality and understanding that the best plans or goals are those you can actually make space for in the life you have now, in order to create the life you want. I have recommended her to many friends, colleagues and fellow parents and will continue to do so.
