Student Testimonials

Mediumship & Trance

  • Wonderful Experience

    Karen's class has helped me learn, believe, and finally know that communication with the Spirit world is real. Karen teaches very thoughtfully. She not only shares her knowledge and experience but also helps each of us build trust in ourselves and in our faculties. She knows exactly who needs a particular type of support and explanation and provides it. Wonderful Experience in gaining trust in myself

  • Extraordinary Teacher

    Karen is an extraordinary teacher. In six short weeks, my mediumship went to a whole new level. I have more confidence and am able to relax and be more present, feeling into what spirit is communicating. I appreciate her method of “following the story,” which leads to a more meaningful communication than just “skimming” for facts. Karen showed us just how easy it is to feel into that information. I also appreciate Karen’s of Zen and helping students understand the challenges of ego . I have grown not only as a medium, but personally as well.

  • Elevated My Confidence

    I gained so much from Mediumship Expansion. Karen creates an atmosphere that encourages participants to elevate their confidence and expect the best from themselves. I left this 6-week experience more confident (and with expanded skills) in my mediumship and with more awareness and presence in my everyday life. I am truly thankful for every session and teaching from this course!

  • I Gained New and Valuable Skills

    I absolutely loved the Trance course. I gained new and valuable skills and knowledge around the different practices. Thank you for providing such an engaging and supportive workshop where I felt comfortable to participate and work outside of my comfort zone. I love your method/style of teaching!

    — Debbie S, 2023

  • Like Nothing Before Experienced

    Karen’s trance mediumship course was like nothing I have ever experienced before. I think it broadened my mind in that I have different perceptions of some psychic phenomena now. That one exercise brought me in touch with feelings and emotions I now realize I had buried very deep. Some things I had refused to acknowledge before but I now realize I must deal with and resolve. Thank you for your guidance.

    —Alice Alexander, 2023

  • Master Teacher

    Karen is both a master teacher and gifted medium. She is gentle and present, and extremely articulate. Her techniques are based on meditation practices informed simultaneously by Buddhist philosophy and Spiritualism. The Silver Birch text, combined with Karen's spiritual pedagogy was key to this integration. I needed a deeper path into achieving a trance state and Karen's classes have been so helpful. I'm so grateful to her for this experience!

    —Tamar Gordon, 2023

  • Honest, Authentic and Highly Skilled

    Karen's style of teaching is honest, authentic and highly skilled. I love how she approaches the subject matter in detail and with varied methods. She is supportive and respectful of her students and their growth journey. I found her courses to be very enriching and expanding my own personal growth and understanding. I am very grateful and will be back to take more!

    —Evelyn Brooks, 2023

  • Wonderful, Caring Teacher

    I attended Karen’s first-level mediumship class and was very happy that I did. Karen invites the student to blend in deeper with the dear departed loved ones in Spirit, to learn of and experience their essence and qualities. I always felt excited to practice with my classmates to sit in the Power, and to invite the many interesting souls to tell their stories to the sitter. Karen is a wonderful teacher and simplifies the techniques to be able to connect to the other side. A wonderful, caring teacher.

    —Bryn Durham, 2023

  • Informative & Challenging

    I am enjoying both the summer mediumship intensive and soul writing courses --informative yet challenging (in a good way!) as I find Karen's knowledge, experience and teaching style helping me step out of my comfort zone and push my limits. Great website too. The guided meditations are most effective.

    — Jane Butterworth, 2023

  • Lucky to Work with Her

    Karen is a very patient and thorough teacher. She always made sure you understood things before continuing with her lessons. Her dedication to and love for the spirit world are very obvious, and people on both sides of the veil are lucky to work with her.

    —Sarah Dali, 2023

  • An Important Step

    This class exceeded my expectations, I consider it an important step in my personal and spiritual development . Thanks to the trance mediumship experience facilitated by Karen I was able to connect to higher realms and feel the sweet taste of self love (that I only read about in the past, but never actually felt it).

    —Andreia Ledda, 2023

  • Push Out Your Edges

    Karen is an insightful teacher that encourages you to push out your edges and to trust yourself when learning to communicate with Spirit. I highly recommend her if you are wanting to learn to communicate with loved ones across the veil.

    —Jennifer Templeton, 2023

  • Great Class

    Silver Birch Trance Mediumship was a great class full of information and exercises that were new and sometimes challenging. But Karen made us comfortable and supported us through the process

    — Bobby Kitsios, 2023

  • Profound Mystical Experiences

    I tapped into psychic and mystical skills that I never knew I had. I learned how to prophesize, read tea leaves, and most importantly, tap into my deeper knowing and intuition. In the months following the program, I have had profound and mystical experiences during meditations.

    Jennifer Hill, 2022

  • Powerful Learning Experience

    If you are looking for an authentic, honest, experienced teacher, then taking a class with Karen is going to be a very powerful learning experience. There is power and Magick that comes from education through understanding aspects of yourself and the world. I have enjoyed every class with her and look forward to many more.

    Jessica Thornton, 2022

  • Exceeded Expectations

    I took Mediumship Development with Karen and it far exceeded my expectations. Karen provided detailed explanations of the theory behind her teachings and created a weekly curriculum that built upon the week's previous lesson so students can learn and grow each week. Karen also provided tools that helped students develop while outside of class and a way for students to interact with each other to further enhance their development. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their mediumship and I'm looking forward to taking more courses with Karen in the future.

  • Outstanding

    Karen's course on Celtic Myth and Mysticism is nothing short of outstanding. She has the uncanny ability to bring to life those gods and deities from ancient history. I learned much and gained even more understanding of these deities and it contributes immensely to my development as a medium. No one else could have presented this course as Karen did. It was a journey into time and provided a meeting with these gods. I am grateful for this opportunity.

    —Reinhardt Boyd, 2022

  • Intuitive & Professional

    I had the opportunity to attend Karen's Amplify Your Psychic Senses event. The event fostered a positive, supportive, and collaborative environment. Karen is a fascinating and highly skilled practitioner. I found the guided meditation and attunement to be among the greatest restorative session that I have attended. I am looking forward to attending Karen's upcoming events. She is a highly intuitive and professional instructor.

    David Stockd, 2022

  • Finally, I understand

    Karen has helped me to finally understand what psychic is about. She is extraordinarily accomplished yet very sincere and supportive. If you have an interest in growing your psychic awareness, you'll be in great hands with Karen.

    — Ruth Andersen, 2023

  • Wise Advice

    Karen has something that has become increasingly rare; thoughtful, well-researched and wise advice to those of us who want to explore the things that Western society so often dismisses.

    — Melina Campbell, 2023

  • Gifted Teacher

    Karen is a gifted teacher who understands how to guide her class properly. Her method of teaching is very Zen and relatable. Therefore it is very easy to understand her and when one does not understand, she is very patient to explain. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone this talented.

  • Comfortable & Pleasurable

    All the classes I've taken with Karen were really excellent. I found the tips and techniques that she shared extremely helpful. She has a very clear way of presenting her material, is always open to questions, and makes the experience a very comfortable and pleasurable way to learn.

    Karen is a wonderful spiritual teacher, healer, and genuine human being. I have taken several courses and had a private session with her. It's always a pleasure to work with someone who is vastly knowledgeable, intelligent, compassionate, and connected.

Soul Writing

  • Gracious & Gifted

    Karen drew me back towards an activity I loved as a child--writing poems. She helped all of us in class access some pretty deep feelings and aches, without having to confess them openly, but by way of the poems. She is a gracious and gifted teacher, interpreter, and guide.

    .--Ernie Rubinstein, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Humanities, New York University, 2023

  • Shines So Brightly

    Having studied under Karen’s expert tutelage in 5+ courses, I see her as the Pied Piper of deep emotions. She creates psychologically safe spaces for folks who are interested in improving their writing or developing their communication with the other side of the veil. Take her classes if you can. Her soul shines so brightly!

    — Court Stroud, Adjunct Professor, Columbia University, 2023

  • Helped Me Think Differently

    As someone who also teaches writing, and who has known Karen since she was a journalist, it was very interesting and insightful to see how she teaches and the way she brings students together cooperatively. Importantly, she also made me think very differently about my own writing, and how I can use writing to learn about myself. I highly recommend taking her class.

    Michael Luongo, Adjunct Professor UCLA Online Writing Program, 2022

  • Pure Positivity

    The experience was one of pure positivity from my point of view. An opportunity to come out of my shell and the encouragement to keep going with the magic of words and the inner actions which they can elicit is fascinating and challenging. Just what I need. Thank you. —Guy Moore, 2022

  • Unique Teachings

    I took part in Karen’s Soul Writing workshop for spiritual growth. Karen is such a lovely person. Her teachings are a unique writing through poetry. It was challenging and not something I had ever partaken in before. I was amazed at the creativity and the heartfelt results that one could produce when letting go of the intellect. Highly recommend. — Fran Beeber, 2022

  • Deep, Meaningful & Enlightening

    Deep, meaningful, enlightening--these are the words that come to mind when I reflect upon my experience in Karen's Soul Writing workshop. I looked forward to the class each week as a time to be made more whole and to get to know my real self. —Christina Marrocco, 2022

  • Healing

    It had been my practice to deliberately close my mind to events that were bad, very dark. Karen helped me see that acknowledging and facing the reality of an ugly situation was important in closing that chapter in a healing way instead of just slamming the pages down and running away. — Nelda Stroud, 2022

  • Transcendent

    It was a peaceful, transcendent experience joining an online community of kindred spirits with Karen as our guide. Karen is professional, articulate, and relatable and her gifts enable us to tap into the guidance we need and crave. I look forward to attending more spiritual classes in the near future with Karen at the helm! — Joanne Mainella, 2022

  • Excellent Flow

    I was quite surprised at how the exercises both were unique and got me expressing myself in ways that either I hadn't been doing or I struggled with. Karen has helped me understand how to get into an excellent flow with my writing. I'm grateful now to be armed with new tools to bring a whole new dimension to my future writings. — Chris DeSerio, 2020

Afterlife Communication

  • Perfect Fit

    Karen's course was a perfect fit for me. I found it safe and informative. She helped me to become better at meditation and connecting with Spirit and provided lots of opportunities to learn and practice. I really appreciated being with a group of supportive people who also had lost loved ones and were searching for a way to connect. —Jan Palmer, 2023

  • Excellent Tools

    I had a wonderful experience with Karen’s afterlife communication course. I found this course to be very informative, and was given excellent tools to communicate with my loved one in spirit on my own. — Victoria Navarro, 2023

  • Love Finds a Way

    It was wonderful to find a community going through the same grief with a desire to connect with their loved ones. Karen is very knowledgeable and can help dispel the misinformation that is out there on the afterlife. All things are possible, and love always finds a way! — Lisa O, 2023

  • A Beautiful Offering

    What a beautiful offering for those who are bereaved. I’m sure my husband in spirit guided me towards Karen because he had/has very high standards and would only stand for the best! During the course I learnt how to expand my awareness and sense my husband’s energetic presence more profoundly. Thanks to Karen I now feel reassured and am confident in the messages of love he continues to send me. A truly wonderful teacher! — LuLa Buzz, 2023

  • Wonderful, Much Needed

    A wonderful, much needed class! There are loads of us who want to be able to communicate with our loved ones after they've crossed over. Karen taught us how to make contact with our loved ones, gently guiding us and providing lots of helpful information and much emotional support. Karen is a great teacher, and I highly recommend taking this or any of her classes! — Jean Weille, 2023

  • Incredibly helpful

    I wouldn't have thought it was possible to make a course about communicating with your dead loved ones as practical, grounded and logical as Karen did. She blended theory and practice brilliantly and her measured, step by step approach really made the end goal feel attainable for me. In addition, she was able to give us personalised attention around our queries and challenges, whilst also framing the individual experiences in wider ways which were helpful for everyone. An incredibly helpful course. — Clara N, 2022
