A short Introduction will be available soon.

Karen’s approach is both exciting and deeply insightful. She teaches us to allow the details to emerge naturally in a story, which feels organic and true to the essence of spirit communication.

Bring More Soul into Your Mediumship

We are complicated beings and continue to be so in spirit form, but too often, communicators are reduced to pale imitations of their true selves. Their true nature and authentic life story are overshadowed by too heavy a focus on lists of evidence, which often turns mediumship into a grocery list of facts.

So let’s strip away the noise — the overthinking, the pressure to perform, the confusion about what’s “right,” and come back to the essentials — the soul of the work.

Let the Magic Flow

Learn to work with emotion and memory—expressing not just what happened, but how it felt for the communicator—so their emotional imprint creates a powerful, resonant connection. This helps you refine your delivery and expression, cultivating naturalness and spontaneity in your mediumship. By mastering tone, rhythm, and presence, you'll learn to bring through the spirit’s essence in a way that feels vivid, alive, and deeply human.

Develop Greater Presence, Connection & Expression in Your Mediumship

This six-week mentoring program is designed to help you move beyond simply listing facts and into the heart of authentic spirit communication. You’ll learn techniques to receive and express the essence, personality, and presence of the communicator—allowing their emotions, character, and energy to shine through. Instead of “snatching” facts, you’ll embody their spirit from a place of openness and intimacy, creating rich, soul-stirring connections that that can profoundly affect the recipient and those in spirit form.

This is an intermediate/advanced mediumship program and not suitable for beginners. Please see the FAQs before booking

An incredible experience! Karen challenged me to refine and elevate my mediumship skills. I’ve learned so much and have loved discovering new ways to enhance my mediumship.

A Look Inside the Program

Bringing Richness and Joy into Mediumship


The communicator and his or her passions, relationships, ambitions, love, personality, motivations, and challenges are central to every life story. To receive this level of complexity and details, we will work with different character embodiment techniques to help you understand how to work with fully-rounded, fully-present characters blending with you to share the essential details of their life. The teachings include:

Complexity of Character and Meaning
Learn how to mine your day-to-day experiences to train the mind and enhance your mediumship
Discover how to make the communication purposeful, compelling and memorable.
Learn how to blend evidence with presence to create meaningful connections.

Receiving & Understanding Compelling Detail
Learn how to move beyond ‘snatching’ evidence to lay the pathways needed to share the fullness of the presence.
Learn to step into the power to allow the story to flow easily.
Experience how easy mediumship can be within the power and the presence of the communicator’s character and narrative.

Karen’s doctoral research is a groundbreaking contribution to contemporary literary studies. It explores themes of continued consciousness, new approaches to spirituality, narrative empathy, and new pathways for understanding life's emotional and spiritual dimensions.
