“LIKE HONEY FOR THE SOUL” - Pippa Best: Sea Soul Blessings
I’m Kari, I’m a creative transformational guide, a published author, an artist, a speaker and wonder-seeker. I am a polar traveller, an advocate for conscious nature connection and a believer that creativity and being fully present can change everything for the better.
Chances are, if you’ve found your way here, you are an empathic change-maker and purpose-seeker who feels driven to make a difference for your community/your family/the world through your business, your actions, your creativity and your vision. Perhaps, however, the external and internal pressure and expectation of that is weighing you down? No matter how hard you work there never seems to be enough time to do all the things.
Your mind, body and soul long for more ease. You likely know, deep down, that something needs to change. Perhaps you’ve already tried all manner of ways already to try to sleep better, be more productive or focused, feel less stressed and less anxious, but they haven’t provided the lasting results you hoped for.
I get it, because I’ve been there, and I know it’s a hard place to be. But I want to reassure you that there is always light beyond the clouds. There is a solution that is perfect for you.
It may even be here.
Previous clients have said of our sessions that they are ‘like honey for the soul’; that they had ‘no idea how powerful this kind of thing could be, not just for me, but for my team and my family too’; and that ‘your guidance has been transformative.’
If you’re ready to say yes to more ease, more soul-infused, creative replenishment, like these amazing humans did, then I celebrate you! With me you are safe to release the blocks and fatigue, nourish ALL aspects of you, step into your joy, and reconnect with your wild and beautiful heart’s purpose.
How do we do this? I have a Mary Poppins cloth bag full of science-backed, powerful tools and practices that I draw on with my clients, including EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, or ‘Tapping’), Energy Work, Conscious Nature Connection, Creative Mindfulness, Visualisation and Meditation, Journaling, Essential Oils and Radical Rest practices - and more. I specifically tailor your experience to what would be most supportive and beneficial to you and your goals.
At present, I am working on a very exciting new signature system as well as smaller, self-led mini courses. Until then, the best way to get started is to click the button below to book an informal, complimentary discovery call to see if we’re a good fit and find out more about how I can support you.
Or, if you know you want to dive straight in, you can book 1:1 private consultations here.
And do sign up to my Pause, Breathe, Connect emails if you’d like to take advantage of free tips and meditations and be the first in line for founder prices with my shiny and totally brilliant new experiences.
I look forward to getting to know you. It’s going to be lovely.
“I am just amazed at how quickly my body and mind responded to our session together. I had no idea how powerful this kind of thing could be, not just for me, but for my team and my family too - there has definitely been a ripple effect! I feel much more calm, balanced and positive. Thank you Kari.”
- Amanda - Lawyer
“Kari, I just really wanted to say a huge thank you for all the guidance you have given me. Your support and the compassionate space you’ve created has given me the confidence to dive deep into some things I needed to address and to embark on a more positive way forward. Your guidance has been transformative.”
- Jenny - Midwife & Small Business Owner
Whether you’re feeling stressed, anxious, have big presentations coming up and are worried about speaking in public, have a phobia or just not feeling as though your fully embracing your potential, tapping can help.
EFT is an easy, relaxing and practical science-based method of releasing negative emotions, thought patterns and beliefs that can create resistance to rest, financial freedom or success. At the same time, tapping can promote creativity, better health and overall well-being.
Mindfulness can help reduce stress, improve your mental and physical health, and even increase your overall happiness in life by becoming consciously aware of the present moment. Caught up as we often are in repetitive thinking, multi-tasking and results-driven striving, we begin to feel disconnected, overstretched and overwhelmed.
Stuck in a rut, directionless or trying to navigate a creative block? Creative Mindfulness is also a powerful way to unlock your inspiration and creative potential, and get into flow.
It’s time for a new relationship with rest. I guide you in a variety of restorative practices and exercises that suit your lifestyle and your needs, whether you are looking for easy plug-in-and-go rest sessions or a unique program tailored to you.
Radical Rest is a deep dive into what we really need in our lives in order to thrive. More than just taking an occasional nap, this is a proven framework in which we address and heal deep tiredness, overwhelm and exhaustion. The results can be transformative.
Whether you could do with some support to sleep better, to manage and elevate your mood, to help with mental focus, support recovery from illness or injury, to balance hormones/menopause or to boost your immune system, essential oils are a wonderful, natural resource.
I work with the purest, most ethically-sourced essential oils around. These oils are transformative tools that can elevate our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. They also smell delicious too…
Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed or just feel you need a change of perspective and some deeply restorative time in nature? Throughout the year, I lead individuals, teams and small groups into wild nature where we can find and cultivate a sense of resilience, peace and inner calm.
These are wonderful, gentle and immersive experiences, leaving you feeling rejuvenated, resourced, balanced and reconnected to the natural world. Wild Wonder Walks and Retreats are held in Cornwall (but I’m happy to travel)…
Studies have shown that journaling - or free-writing about your thoughts and emotions - has many benefits, such as decreasing stress, managing anxiety and enhancing self-awareness. This can be a particularly effective practice to book-end each day.
Journaling also helps the mind to release some of the ‘clutter’ and ‘noise’, and can help boost creativity. As an author of 8 books, I can testify to the power of journaling in the creative process! I also occasionally run creative writing workshops.
I’m about:
Truth. Expansion. Adventure. Curiosity. Creativity. Deep, delicious rest. Nature. Sharing wonder.
I’m also an Author, Artist, Mindfulness Teacher, EFT practitioner, Restorative EcoNidra and Radical Rest Coach, and Speaker.
Add to that: a recovering perfectionist and burn-out/chronic-fatigue survivor.
I learned the hard way that rest is not something that needs to be earned and that making time to be creative and be in nature is not an indulgence. I know from experience that conscious rest, creative experimentation and nature connection are the foundations of a productive, joy-filled life.
It’s my mission to guide and support consciously-minded, talented humans, like you; to provide spaciousness and sanctuary where you feel deeply nourished so you can navigate life’s challenges with more ease and have the energy and clarity to embody and express your soul purpose.
As the daughter of a polar explorer, I’ve always lived on the edge of things, and I have come to realise the importance of balancing and nurturing both the wilder, expressive parts of our nature and the quieter, deeper, more intuitive and creative sides. Wild Calm personifies this beautiful synergy.
