As the founder of Istaria Crystallis® School of Crystal Healing and Mediumship, she offers private services and training in transcendental crystal medicine: channelling crystalline energy and consciousness, dragon spirit medicine, and galactic frequencies; helping individuals clear dark energy, overcome blocks, and achieve a higher state of consciousness. I've been following Krista for the better part of 10 years by now. She is a very informed energy healer and crystal teacher. I loved speaking w her about how her journey in business has evolved as a crystal practitioner over the years, and of course I love the magic of crystals which predate this history of our Earth!

Episode 125: That Witchy One Amy Smith Amy is fellow witchy soul sister. I only just came across her Instagram this summer, I felt a complete and deep resonance with her. From her mannerisms and expressions to her attitude and how she carries herself. I was stoked to connect with her for a reading just 2 weeks ago. We work very similarly with how we receive information for energy healing work. I asked her soon afterward if she'd come be a guest here just to shoot the spiritual shit and was so happy she agreed! I hope you enjoy getting to know her and listening in on two witches talking shop.

Episode 123: Abandonment, Public Execution and Strangulation - Past Lives Revealed In the past few months I have a few past life stories bubble up to the surface to be examined and cleared from being stabbed with a sword in my torso, to being paraded around in shackles prior to a public execution, to strangulation at the hands of my husband. It's all so fascinating and interesting how these things come up when digging deep to unlock whatever it is that is blocking us from soul growth!

On Episode 121 I speak with Gia Prism. Gia is a trance medium, one through whom Spirit speaks. As a psychic medium and an inter-dimensional channel, Gia is a portal to the other side, opening the door that separates the worlds and facilitating a dialogue between the living and all that lies beyond. She uses her abilities as a teacher, healer, and channel to help audiences heal and walk the path of ascension through live events and on TikTok, where she speaks on the spiritual aspect of current events. I only just started following Gia back in like February or so as she was regularly speaking on national politics through a spiritual perspective which I found comforting and affirming. We had an interesting conversation about her early years being raised in a Mormon home and being diagnosed with mental illness while not realizing her psychic gifts. She woke up to her gifts over 15 years ago and now is a gifted trance channeler, unapologetic about the messages Spirit gives her. I appreciate her gifts and was grateful for her time. :) To learn more about me (Karen) and the work that I do, go to rebalancewithreiki.com - if you are local to Northern NJ and you'd like to check out my store front you can visit my page moonmagicwellness.com.

On Episode 119, I speak with Kate Olson who is a priestess and Seidr practitioner whose work is centered around reclaiming the sacred feminine and reintegrating the feminine into our collective consciousness and our individual lives. Sitting at the intersection of history, psychology, and spirituality Kate weaves together the Pre-Christian traditions of Northern Europe and the Lineage of The Rose to hold truly transformational spaces. I learned about Kate through the Instagram algorithms somehow along the way. Her handle is @themysticinthewoods and I just appreciated the sharpness in which she delivers information and how much that she knows, and that she's a scholar. She's a great teacher, she's down to Earth, she's fun and full of information! We speak about so many things, but notably the Witch Wound and the church's creation of the Devil! It's all so fascinating.

Episode 117, Fun Times Connecting with Spirit This is one of those episodes where I talk about the recent happenings in my life doing the work that I do. From a recent class I taught on Oracle Tools, to my visit to a house that supposedly had a lot of "activity" (It did!), to Angels stepping in to help in a loud way. I love love love my job and my connection almost as much as I love sharing these stories! Making the esoteric ordinary is my jam. :) Hope you enjoy listening in!

Episode 115 - Death, Rebirth, and lots of signs from Spirit Early in June I recognized that I'd overextended myself. I never considered myself to be a people pleaser nor did I think I was bad with my boundaries, but evidence to the contrary revealed itself! I started out my summer overwhelmed, burned out and with a dysregulated nervous system. I'd seen a homeopath who gave me a remedy that brought all this to the forefront. It course corrected me and its effects aided in me recognizing where I'd overcommitted myself, forcing me to confront needed change. Between the homeopathic remedy and the goddess Kali, it became evident that I'd need to clear my plate in a big way to usher in whatever new energies that needed to take place. It was a transformative summer, one where I was mostly a recluse and in cocoon mode. A metamorphosis… All to rise again, a fresher, better version of myself! Sometimes I wish I was exempt from human suffering, but why be put on this planet as a human if not to get the full human experience? Hope you enjoy listening in!

Episode 113 - Taylor Swift and the Divine Feminine with Meredith Beardmore I'm so excited to bring you today's episode! I will be geeking out about Taylor Swift and the Divine Feminine with therapist – and Swiftie- Meredith Beardmore. Meredith Beardmore is a psychotherapist operating a private practice, the author of Hey Addiction, Thanks for NOTHING!: A Brutally Honest Guide to Loving an Addict Without Losing Your Mind, and is also known as "Mend with Mere" from her successful YouTube Channel. Meredith is an Ohio State University graduate with a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Meredith specializes in substance abuse treatment, helping family members of addicts and treating emerging adults with various issues, from identity development to depression. Her YouTube Channel, "Mend with Mere," initially intended for therapy discussions, became a platform for analyzing song lyrics, primarily Taylor Swift's, garnering thousands of subscribers and over 5 million hours of watch time. I am so happy to have found MEND WITH MERE, and her channel where she often thoughtfully discusses, dissects and reacts to songs. I stumbled upon her page in the research that goes along w dissecting lyrics! The recent Taylor Swift album – the Tortured Poets Department- is rich with amazing and meaningful songs that really sent me down rabbit holes. I've recently become a Swiftie, and I'm not embarrassed to admit it! The more I've learned about Taylor Swift and her work, the more I've grown to love her! When she started the Eras tour last year I noticed all the girl mom friends of mine who went to see the show with their daughters were just as crazy to see her as their daughters were… this intrigued me and I ended up watching the Netflix Special on her called "MISS AMERICANA". From there I really grew to really respect her as an artist and person. It's clear she's a smart, self-aware and sensitive. I only began delving into her catalogue since February of this year after watching her video for "You Need To Calm Down". Seeing how she advocates for the LGBTQ really warmed my heart- I cried when I first saw it even tho it's not necessarily a tear jerker! As a mom to a transgirl it made me even happier to see someone with this platform saying F U to the naysayers. I then started listening to her on Spotify, just letting it play… I heard the song "I Did Something Bad" where she mentions how narcissists love her (common for empaths) and then she sang "They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one…. So light me up" and I got CHILLS so bad!! I could feel the power she was channeling and was floored! I later learned about the song Willow and her video for that where it looks like a coven of women dancing around the moon—fun fact, this tree is associated with Hecate—Queen of the Witches, goddess of the underworld connected to magic and divination. Witch isn't a bad word- a witch is a woman in her power who can transmute energy and Taylor Swift does just that. From the snakes being thrown her way w the bs drama she had with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, where she turned it around for fuel for her Reputation album, to changing the script on London and her relationship to that city (We recorded this just prior to those shows… Travis Kelce is clearly the Divine Masculine and his performance with Taylor on stage was so symbolic and amazing. If you don't know what I'm talking about, clearly you are NOT a Swiftie, lol. Google it! Night 3 London, June 22). They both really embody the divine feminine and masculine so strongly. Nothing prepared me tho for when she premiered her performance of "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me" from her new album in Paris back in May. This was an empowered woman, not hiding her rage and playfully playing on people's fears/accusations of her being a witch. I ate that shit up!! Every single time I listen to or watch that song I get chills and my eyes fill with tears. She channels such power and light. Meredith and I speak about sacred rage, how it's necessary to feel in order to heal, we speak on intuition and how it grows after the arrival of our children. We speak about our kids on the spectrum and their heightened sensitivities, and we also touch on the oh so common narcissist and empath connection. I loved my conversation with Meredith, we meandered a bit and I love all the different directions we went in. I hope you enjoy it too!!

Episode 109: Conversation with Life Coach and Energy Healer, Victoria O'Conner Blazeski Coach Tori's story starts like many others, before she found her way as a spiritual healer, she followed a traditional path towards success, and by many people's standards, had achieved it. Through 2021, she worked at a top tier, global accounting firm doing international corporate tax for financial services companies, was happily married and had kids she adored. However, despite all of this perceived success, she wasn't happy. In 2019 she experienced severe burnout that lead to a transformational break-down, and break-through journey that led her to Life Coaching and the Dharma Coaching Institute where she completed the life purpose and spiritual life coaching training. She also became a Reiki Master in 2022, and began specializing in distance energy healings which allowed her to bring together the skills she'd learned and the psychic talents she'd fostered since she was a child. Tori reached out to me a few years ago to participate in one of my "Rebalance Retreats" and in getting to know her, I have enjoyed hearing her stories and perspectives on her experiences. She recently helped me with a powerful session which spurred me to ask her to be on my show! I hope you enjoy listening in and hearing her story. (In this episode I refer to a powerful healing session that I had with Tori, check out episode 106 for more details on that) Tori's Website Tori's IG

On Episode 107, I speak with Pelvic Floor Specialist and Energy Healer, Dr. Arántzazu Cioce. Zazu started her healer journey as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, specializing in Pelvic Health and supporting mothers during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Working within the traditional hospital and outpatient clinics she saw that there continued to be a gap in support and care for women having babies, and knew that a more WHOLE-istic way of caring for people was how she was meant to serve others. So she started her own Physical Therapy practice, Phoenix Physical Therapy and also started supporting mamas as a Birth Doula and Birth Educator to empower birthing people to stand up for their rights in birth and in their experience. She always sensed there was something deeper to be explored when it came to healing our physical bodies by tapping into our emotional and intuitive experiences, and it was then through her personal journey with grief and death, that she was opened to the world of energy healing and collaborating with Spirit along the healing path. Now after a decade of experience working with the physical body, she has unlocked her own combination of physical, energy and intuitive healing work, individualizing care as unique as each individual she works with to create deep transformation. She is currently creating sacred virtual spaces for those mothers who seek both EMPOWERMENT within our current medical system and INTUITIVE RECONNECTION with their bodies and babies during conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Zazu began giving me PT for my shoulder back in August and has since become a soul sister and fellow lightworker friend! We always have a good time, and I hope you enjoy learning about her!

Episode 105: Talking to Trees with Kara Daniels If you know me, you know I'm a tree lover. When I saw a post on "Tree Communication" by Kara from Deep Root Connections shared by a friend, I got way excited. I was so happy to hear someone talking out loud about things I know to be true! Kara believes that each of us holds the innate ability to communicate, co-create, and heal with all life, seen and unseen. The nature spirits, the guardians of the land and physical beings want to reignite our relationship with them and work together. It is Kara's goal to help us commune with the unseen realms, to co-create and heal with our animals, our land and home. I really hope you enjoy this conversation. We were really just excited to talk w fellow kindred spirits, and I am hopeful that you will find some of it interesting and fascinating. And truly, it's all real which is so freaking awesome. Magic is real, our connection to nature is real and I hope that this excites you and you enjoy listening. Watch here Kara's website Her IG
