She’s the strong one. The capable one.
And she’s tired AF.

By the time most women land here, they’ve already done the mindset work, downloaded the nervous system tracker, and gaslit themselves into thinking they should be “fine.”
They’re not broken—they’re just exhausted from trying to manage everything and heal themselves at the same time.
This is where the pressure gets to come off.

HI, I’m Karen Lorena

It wasn’t a glow-up.
It was a nervous system rebuild.

I’m a board-certified holistic nurse practitioner, somatic healing practitioner, and trauma-informed coach—who also happens to be an oldest daughter, recovering overfunctioner, and former expert in keeping it all together.

My work lives at the intersection of clinical care and lived experience. I’ve supported women through burnout, anxiety, chronic shutdown, and identity unraveling—not just as a practitioner, but as someone who’s walked through it all firsthand.

This isn’t a performance. It’s a practice.
And I’m so glad you’re here.

Fun Facts about me:

the beach (aka the nervous system’s real BFF)
my fiancé, who brings snacks without asking
Zuko, the unofficial Calm Girl CEO
coloring as creative nervous system care
helping people has always been something I love, now its doesn’t have to take up my nights and weekends.
my guardian angel. IMU
into the woo woo, always

Feeling good shouldn’t be the last thing on your to-do list.

You’ve shown up. Held it down. Made sure everyone else was okay.

But at some point, “functioning” stopped feeling like enough.
You’re burnt out on being the reliable one—and you’re ready to feel rested, not just productive.

Whether you’re craving a five-minute exhale, a new daily rhythm, or a full nervous system recalibration—there’s a path here for you. One that doesn’t require you to be more regulated than you are, or less tender than you feel.

Let’s create something that supports your body, honors your emotional capacity, and actually feels good—not just looks good on your calendar.
