Frequently Asked Questions

The field, also called the human energy field, the bioenergetic field, or the aura, is the layer of energy that surrounds and moves through your body. It holds a record of what you've lived through physically, emotionally, and mentally. This is where Karin works during a session, reading and adjusting the field directly rather than working on the physical body alone.

No. Belief isn't a requirement, though an open mind tends to deepen the experience and make it more enjoyable. Several longtime clients started out as committed skeptics of anything alternative and found real, lasting results anyway. One client came to Karin after years of more conventional treatment and described himself as skeptical of anything "new-agey," and still found the results life-changing. The energy doesn't require your belief to move, but your willingness to receive it does help.

Unlike general Reiki or massage, Karin's approach is built on a specific, systematic assessment of your energy field that extends into your actual organ systems, not just a general sense of where energy feels off. It's a more structured, diagnostic style of energy work. Karin trained for years at the Brennan Healing Science School, which teaches this precise method of reading the field. Unlike talk therapy, which works through the mind, her sessions work directly with the energetic patterns underneath a symptom, often alongside therapy rather than replacing it.

Cord healing addresses the invisible energetic ties, or "cords," that connect us to the people in our lives, starting with the parent-child bond. Cord Healing is used to work through recurring, difficult relationship patterns that keep repeating themselves. It's an advanced healing modality applied in sequence, usually after preliminary healing has stabilized your field, since a strong foundation is needed before this deeper relationship work can fully take hold.

The core star is the essence of your being, your inner radiance, and the unique signature of who you are beyond personality or persona. Core star healing reconnects you to that essence when you've become disconnected from it. Some traditions describe the core star as a specific energy center in the body; Karin's own work frames it less as a fixed location and more as your core essence itself. Looking for validation outside yourself, or losing your own identity in relationships, are two common signs of being cut off from it. Core star healing is usually done alongside hara healing rather than as a standalone session.

Hara healing is all about helping you fulfill your longing and your purpose. It works with your Hara line: a gelatinous energetic line running through the center of your bones and in front of your spine, connected to your sense of life purpose. When it's damaged, people often feel pain in the area along with a disconnection from what they're here to do. This modality is especially helpful during major life changes, when recovering from physical trauma, or for anyone searching for clarity about their direction in life.

Past life healing works with mysterious, unexplained present-day pain, fear, or illness that is a remnant of trauma carried over from a previous lifetime, stored in your energy field. Karin specializes in identifying and releasing this kind of pattern when it doesn't respond to more conventional approaches.

Spiritual surgery is a deeper level of energetic intervention that works through the structure and levels of your energy field, reaching the physical body through the field itself to repair an issue, organ, or condition. This modality differs from psychic surgery, where a practitioner works directly on the physical body to remove something like a tumor. Spiritual surgery is done with the help of what Karin calls a surgical healing team and is used when an issue needs more than a standard energy session can provide. Some clients feel sensations like pulling, pressure, or heat during the process; others sleep through it entirely, which doesn't make it any less effective.

No. Psychic surgery works directly on the physical body, sometimes described as a healer appearing to remove something like a tumor by hand. Spiritual surgery instead works through the fifth level of your energy field, with the help of a surgical healing team, rather than through the physical body itself. This is a common point of confusion; the two terms get used interchangeably online.

Heart healing works with your heart chakra to address both relationship issues and the physical heart itself, and it supports and prepares the ground for all other healing modalities. It's often where Karin starts, since an open, healthy heart center makes every other kind of healing work more effective, and it's especially supportive for grief, loss of purpose, and disconnection from others.

Lower back pain usually connects to the sacral chakra, the second chakra in the back. It rarely exists on its own, and typically shows up alongside the whole grounding triad: the first chakra, the Dan Tien, the sacral chakra in the back, and the second chakra in the front. Lower back healing addresses blockages across this system to relieve pain and restore energy flow. Most straightforward cases see relief in 2 to 4 sessions, often noticing improvement during or right after the first one. More complex or long-standing issues can take longer, and the work tends to go faster for clients who are also taking care of themselves through exercise, nutrition, or bodywork alongside their sessions.

The fifth chakra, in the front, governs the throat, the thyroid, the esophagus, the voice box, and the vocal cords. A blocked or distorted throat chakra can show up as physical tightness, discomfort, or a lump-in-the-throat sensation that doesn't show up on medical scans.
