in between what was and what comes next.
somatic life coaching for women in those messy, what is even happening transitory seasons of life - no longer who we were, not quite yet who we’re becoming.
welcome to KIN
hi - i’m kari.
i sit with women in the middle of who they were and who they’re becoming.
women whose work may not fit the same way it used to. or whose relationship is shifting and are afraid to admit it, or those of us who just know there has to be more but we can’t quite figure out what that is.
whatever brought you here, underneath it is usually the same question:
who and what comes next?
over the last 15 years, i’ve learned first hand that the answer isn’t in another framework or another mapped out plan. it’s in us, under every rule we learned about who we had to be.
if we get really quiet - most of the time we already know what we want. we just don’t understand why we still can’t make it happen.
this isn’t a mindset issue. it’s a body one. so that’s where we work. your nervous system, the parts of you that learned to keep you safe, the way you’re actually designed. we move through what’s been holding the shoulds in place, so you can design a life beyond them and build one that finally feels like yours.
this work asks something of you. full ownership of how you live, and honesty about what you’re no longer available for. i’ll hold you to your highest vision. what you do with that is yours.
my work is for the women who want to feel vital again. who are so done moving through their days on autopilot and want to actually fully live inside them. who want to flirt with their own lives a little (or a lot), and be so full of themselves that there’s no room left for anything that isn’t theirs.
she’s already in there.
should we go meet her?
the support i offer is deep, intentional and completely curated to you.
sometimes that means intimate 1:1 support and other times it just needs 60 minutes where we get quiet and illuminate what your body has been trying to say.
whatever feels like it’s tugging at you right now - i’ve got you.

REIMAGINE is my signature 1:1 coaching for when you can feel the next version of yourself forming and are ready to actually become her. i walk alongside you and permission you to unravel and reveal what's been there all along.

who this was built for:
you are ready to live freely in your own life - and you're tired of knowing that without actually feeling it
you crave a freedom and lightness you can't quite explain, and you've stopped trying to logic your way there
you are ready to pivot - your career, your relationships, your beliefs, your identity - and you want to do it from the inside out
you've been the capable one for so long that you've lost track of what you actually want
you've read the books, done the work, had the realizations - and something still hasn't moved
your outer life looks functional but your inner life is starving for something more true
you are ready to take radical responsibility and lead yourself into what comes next
what we actually do:
we start with your why - not as a productivity exercise, but as an act of reclamation. what is actually pulling you forward, underneath all the conditioning
we learn what your nervous system has been doing underneath everything - the patterns it developed to keep you safe - and we start to give it something new to orient around
we map the patterns and parts that have been quietly running your decisions - and we meet them with curiosity instead of shame
we bring in your Human Design and energetics here, once you have enough context for it to land so it becomes personal instead of theoretical, confirmation instead of concept
we practice the art of receiving - expecting what you've asked for, letting it land, staying open when it arrives
we build the devotion and discipline to hold what you call in, so the next version of you has somewhere to live
none of this stays in your head. it lands in your body, and that's what makes it stay

ILLUMINATE is a 60-minute alignment session for when something in you needs clarity and your mind alone can't get you there.

who this was built for:
you're curious about somatics but you don't know where to start - you just know that thinking harder isn't working
you're standing at an edge right now - a decision, a conversation, a turning point - and you need someone to help you hear what your body is already saying
you want clarity quickly, but not the kind that skips over you - the kind that's specific to your wiring, your patterns, your moment
you've learned about your Human Design but it's still living in your head - you want to feel it, not just understand it
you don't need a long container, you need one precise conversation at exactly the right time
something is live in you right now and you don't want to wait until it passes to deal with it
what we do:
we follow what's present in the room - nothing is pre-scripted, nothing is generic
we use somatic awareness to slow the moment down enough that your body can tell you what your mind has been talking over
we bring your Human Design in as a living map, not a personality test - so the session confirms something you already sense about how you're built
we work with what's happening right now, in real time, so you leave with clarity you can actually move from
sometimes that looks like something settling. sometimes it looks like language finally clicking into place. either way, something lands.

because the in-between season in life can be overwhelming as is - here are a few ways to start you on your journey.

who this work is for
every single woman - both past, present and future.
but the most common reason women come to me is because they are standing on the edge of what was and what’s to come.
the woman in transition from love - she just left something that mattered, or she's stepping toward something new after years of going at it alone. she's not just navigating a relationship. she's redefining who she is inside of one.
the woman questioning the ladder - laid off, promoted, or just quietly done with a path she worked hard to build. it’s not just the uncertainty that’s the scary part, it’s not knowing who she is outside of it.
the woman who's started over - new city, new chapter, holding loneliness and possibility in the same hand. she's braver than she feels and she knows it.
the woman whose friendships have quietly stopped fitting - she's outgrowing the people that once made up her days. now she's just hungry for something more real, more mutual, more alive.
the woman who has been holding it all together for everyone else for so long she's forgotten what it feels like to be held herself.
the woman outgrowing her own story - the roles, the labels, the version of herself other people still expect. she can feel who she's becoming. she just needs someone to help her meet them.
the woman finding her way back to her body - starting to listen instead of override. starting to trust what she feels over what she's been told to think.
the woman who knows something is ending before she has words for it - and is finally ready to follow what's calling instead of waiting for permission.
hi, i’m kari
i’m a certified somatic life coach and mentor, and i’ve spent fifteen years living inside the exact seasons i now sit with women through.
divorce in my late twenties. moving states with no job lined up. a spiritual unraveling that changed everything. a corporate career that took me around the world and quietly stopped fitting. a global promotion that looked right on paper. finding love again in my forties. buying a home, then getting laid off after buying it. and then, building this.
none of it came with a how-to guide. what it came with was a body that kept telling me the truth, even when i wasn’t ready to hear it, and reference points along the way that kept saying keep going, you’re right on time.
i can’t live on the surface, even when i try. it’s not how i’m wired. so i built a space that goes all the way down. into the body, the patterns, the stories that have been running the show, and the version of you that’s been underneath all of it.
i live in portland with my partner and norte, our bernese mountain dog who is truly too good for this world. i’m inspired by nature, deep conversation, women who no longer want a life that doesn’t feel like theirs, and the kind of humor you only get from having lived something real.
this is my life’s work. and i’m here to permission you into yours.
