Karen Sides, Ed.D.
Professional Listener
Ancestral Healing Meditation
As a lifelong artist, poet, seeker and wanderer, I am in awe of the power of creative expression informed by spiritual connection. Digging deep, challenging ourselves and calling on our ancestors to help us explore the innate beauty and promise of our inner beingness can lift our hopes and dreams, which in turn can lead to great healing and inspiration. I am dedicated to helping others feel, dream, sense and connect on their path of self-discovery through professional listening and workshop offerings.

Connecting with your Body Workshop
Lori helps people shift from head-driven solutions to ones that incorporate the intelligence of the mind, body, emotions, and life itself. The heart of her work lies in cultivating people's ability to perceive insight as they strengthen awareness in their bodies.
