ABOUT ME

LETâS GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER
Hi, Iâm Karen Lorena. Big sister energy meets nervous system whisper.
Iâve been the girl crying in the storage closet during a 12-hour ER shift, praying for five minutes of silence. I used to think burnout was just the jobâuntil I realized my nervous system was begging for a softer way.
Now, I help sensitive, high-functioning women reconnect to their bodies, rebuild safety from the inside out, and finally exhale. Because nervous system healing shouldnât require a full life overhaul or a personality transplant.
Iâm here for the in-between. The Tuesday afternoon spiral. The Sunday scaries that hit before youâve even had breakfast. The âI canât do this anymoreâ thatâs really code for: Iâm ready to come back to myself.
This isnât about fixing your mindset. Itâs about listening to your bodyâand letting it lead you home. I blend science-backed nervous system care, intuitive practices, and soft rituals that meet you where you are (and donât judge you for being tired).
This isnât wellness homework. Itâs deep care that works in real life.
Weâre talking five-minute resets, one-step rituals, and sacred structure that actually supports you.
Oldest daughter? Emotionally responsible friend? Chronic over-functioner?
You donât need to hold it all alone anymore. Youâre safe here.

âIâM JUST FEELING A LOT OF THINGS RIGHT NOW.â âDAVID ROSE
My Journey
SPOILER: THIS ISNâT A PERFECT ARC. ITâS A SPIRAL,
WITH DETOURS, STORAGE CLOSET CRIES, AND SOFT RETURNS TO SELF.
01. REMEMBERING THE SIGNALS
There was a time I believed needing a nap made me weak. That the tears mid-charting meant I wasnât cut out for this work. But my nervous system wasnât broken. It was in freeze modeâpleading for stillness while I kept pushing. I called it ambition. Turns out, it was exhaustion in disguise. The turning point? A 3am cry in the storage closet during an ER shift, whispering to the fluorescent lightbulbs: âIs this just⌠life now?â

02. SACRED LITTLE THINGS
Healing didnât look like a 5am routine or a perfect plan. It looked like sipping tea in silence. Taking deeper breaths. Letting small rituals become a way back to myself. It wasnât dramaticâbut it was sacred. Tiny acts of care that reminded me I was still in there.
03. SOFT STRUCTURE
I didnât need more disciplineâI needed a rhythm that could hold me when I had nothing left to give. So I started building systems that felt like support, not pressure. Bare-minimum checklists. Joy on the calendar.
A slower pace I could actually live inside.

04. RETURNING TO YOURSELFÂ
When I felt safe in my body again, everything opened up. I started asking for what I needed. Letting joy back in. Letting myself want moreâwithout guilt. I didnât need to reinvent myself. I just needed to return to the one Iâd forgotten.
My ethos
Not the performative kind.
The real-deal, heart-settling kind.
The kind that says: I trust myself now.
This space isnât about fixing yourselfâitâs about coming home.
To your truth. To your rhythm.
To the quiet knowing that you were never too much or not enough.
Just burnt out from carrying too much alone.
Turns out, peace is the power move.
