You’re the overachieving, emotionally responsible eldest daughter who’s somehow the tech support, the peacemaker, and the backup parent.
Your nervous system? Over it.
You ghost your group chat because you can’t hold one more conversation.
You’re spiraling in silence between wellness podcast episodes.
You want to feel better—but you’re already maxed out.
Former expert in pretending I was fine.
Hi, I’m Karen Lorena
I help high-functioning, emotionally exhausted women regulate their bodies, unlearn survival mode, and rebuild lives that feel soft, sustainable—and dare I say, delicious.
Oldest daughter. First-generation. Board-certified holistic nurse practitioner.
Nervous system nerd. Still healing. Still softening.
And yes—former expert in pretending I was fine.
I’ve trained in somatic healing, trauma-informed care, and emotional regulation—but more than anything, I’ve lived this.
I know what it’s like to look okay on the outside and feel like you’re unraveling inside.
This space was built for women like you—and I’ll meet you exactly where you are.
THE CALM GIRL GOODIES:
What The Calm Girls are saying:
Real words from women who stopped spiraling, set softer boundaries, and finally started feeling like themselves again.
I loved working with Karen Lorena
I loved working with Karen. Karen made me feel comfortable but also pushed me in some conversations to feelings and emotions I usually push away. This allowed me to discover why I do the things I do. It was a self discovery for me.
Zoraya P.
“I finally started setting boundaries without guilt.”
I learned to stop and take time to look at what is important and meaningful. When to pick my battles. How to set boundaries to protect my mental health.
Carmen L.
“My confidence and happiness skyrocketed.”
I saw a dramatic rise in my confidence and my overall happiness. Karen encouraged me to go deeper in ways I wouldn’t have pushed myself and the results were incredible.
Lainie D.
“She got me out of my comfort zone—in the best way.”
Karen knew how to get me out of my comfort zone (in a good way) and to verbalize things that were too hard for me to do on my own. She didn’t push or make it uncomfortable and she knew exactly what to say to get me to the next step each time.
