Personal Approach

Kari’s care is rooted in the ancient Ayurvedic tradition of Shamana, which emphasizes calming and soothing therapies. She honors each client as a unique and evolving being, offering long-term support through personalized Ayurvedic counseling, herbal treatment, body therapy, and spiritual guidance. Her sessions—held virtually or in a serene garden studio in Louisville—create a sacred space where nature, rest, and rhythm guide the healing journey.

Treatment Philosophy

With a deep reverence for nature and its healing powers, Kari draws from decades of personal practice and study. She believes healing begins by reconnecting with the elements—ether, air, fire, water, and earth—which exist within us. Through Ayurvedic tools like pulse reading, intuitive touch, and meditative therapies, Kari gently addresses imbalances in body, mind, and spirit, guiding clients toward lasting well-being. Her goal is not just symptom relief, but deep restoration and inner harmony.
