ABOUT KAREN

Delusions are as various as the reflections of the moon
   on a rippling sea.
Beings so often become caught in a net of confused pain.
   May I develop compassion, boundless as the sky,
so that all may rest in the clear light of their own awareness.

-Buddhist prayer

KAREN HEIL, CTP, RYT, HTCP

Trained and certified in Thai Yoga Therapy at SomaVeda Institute, as well as a Registered Yoga Teacher and Healing Touch Certified Practitioner, I come to this work with an open heart and a trust in knowing we all have the capability to heal from within.  Energy Medicine/Thai Yoga Therapy lends itself to a fully balanced system of mind/body/spirit. Through the understanding and implementation of breathwork, bodywork and the bio-energetic structure - together in partnership with my clients - we can begin the journey towards a healthy and balanced life.


My own life-long journey of awakening and healing has brought me to a place of appreciation for the magic and the mysteries. It is through my own inner-work and healing that I bring compassion and a heartfelt desire to help others along their path towards wholeness. My personal practice consists of daily meditation and yoga; Holotropic Breathwork; Kundalini Yoga; journeying; shadow work; dream journaling; insightful blogging; art, and the ongoing study of Vastu Shastra (the Vedic art and science of creating sacred space).


It is my aim and mission to support the healing that is so needed in today's world. I believe, now more than ever, more of us are searching for ways to become more healthy, not just in our bodies, but in our minds, our hearts and our spirits. The search for truth has become less about looking outside of ourselves for what the world can offer us, and more about looking within for what our own spirits are just waiting to provide. By first honoring our own inner healer through acceptance, compassion and forgiveness, we begin the journey of personal healing and in turn, help heal the world, bringing wholeness, peace, prosperity and abundance.
