Manifesting and reprogramming my subconscious for abundance. Karin is Amazing. After each session I felt the abundance. Business ideas have been rolling in. I can't say enough good things about Karin. I'm extremely Grateful.

Karin is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is patient, wise, and has the ability to get into the heart of any situation. My husband and I worked with her individually and as a couple, and it has saved our marriage. With Karin's guidance, we were able to identify our unique communication styles and what we each wanted in the relationship. Individually, out of all the therapists and psychologists I've seen in my life (and I have unfortunately seen several since I was a child) Karin has been one in a few to create profound and lasting changes in a very short amount of time. She listens well, and is able to understand where you're coming from, as well as guide you to the root and solution of the real problem. Very grateful to have found and worked with her.

I must admit, I was skeptical. This was my first time in hypnotherapy, and Karin really blew me away. I was so comfortable with her very quickly - and this allowed real progress in a short period of time (I only saw her twice!). I felt so accepted, understood, and seen by her. The resources she made available were really helpful for me as well, to continue my hypnotherapy she provided a recorded personalized meditation and other really helpful resources. I was really amazed at the level of care and compassion she brings to her work. I know where to go should I ever need hypnotherapy again, and I would highly recommend her for anyone considering.

Karin is such an insightful and wonderful person. I suffered from anxiety that was so severe that I could barely leave my house, let alone work. Through Karin's hypnotherapy, I was able to overcome a good portion of my anxiety and even start working again. All this was accomplished in a short time span .

One of the best things about Karin is that she is non-judgmental. She makes me feel like my feelings are valid while still acknowledging that they are not helpful and should be changed for my own benefit. Most traditional therapist have made me feel bad for having "negative" feelings (i.e. jealousy, irrational fears etc..).

I also feel like she truly cares about me and my needs and I am not simply a paycheck for her which has unfortunately been a typical experience with other therapists in the past for me..

Karin has changed my life! I had a hard time living in Santa Cruz from past negative associations and she has helped me completely reshape the way I see this beautiful community. Being able to walk through life with less anxiety, more control over my mood, skills to relax on command, and a fresh outlook on problems I am experiencing has been a priceless gift. Thank you Karin!!!

Karin is a wonderful resource if you are looking to improve your life. I learned so much from her and its obvious that she has many years of expertise. She is a very patient listener and has very appropriate tips and suggestions for your exact situation. I have a whole bunch of tools after my initial sessions with her that I am eager to try out. I can already see changes in the way I think, and how her help is allowing me to slowly move out of old self sabotaging patterns.

I saw Karin in 2015 and 2016. She was like my angel. She helped me through a critical transformative phase in my life when she assisted me in embracing compassionately & patiently my polarities, the dance between the Yin and Yan. She guided me with her soft approach and comforting style to listen deeply to my body's wisdom and intuition, coinciding at that time with an autoimmune disease I was struggling with for years, with all the emotional and physical pain that it entailed. She was gentle yet firm, caring, present and a good listener. She even occasionally went out of her way to support me beyond the walls of our session room.Through cognitive, emotional, spiritual and hypnotic journey together, I learned how to tap more into my subconscious and do the work from the inside out, facing my fears with courage and openness, thanks to her help and guidance, in one of my lowest times. She has the gift of a soothing beautiful presence as well as a bright authentic smile. Karin is a gem to know as a person and as a life coach. I highly recommend seeing her.

The subconscious mind is one of our strongest tools, Karin helps us to train and use it. Unlocking its vast power, allows us to make large changes in our life. I have found great success working with her. I have referred several friends and clients to her who have also seen positive transformations. Her work is amazing. I would recommend everyone to try a session.
