Many of Karna's greatest challenges became the most defining moments of her life. While in college at the University of Montana, she joined the Silvertip Skydivers Club along with a fellow dorm-mate, and eventually made over 350 jumps. On a cloudless autumn morning, her friend and a planeload of other teammates were killed in a mid-air collision. Karna had overslept and wasn't on that flight as planned. Grappling with the "whys" of that event catapulted her into a spiritual search that eventually led to discovering answers within.

Deeply committed to spiritual development, Karna spent her mid-20's and early-30's living in ashrams focused on meditation and service to humanity.

Working in the world of non-profit, she lived in twenty different countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East over the course of 6 years, speaking to groups and teaching people how to connect with their inner source of peace.

In contrast, Karna has also won numerous U.S. Top Sales awards at a Fortune 500 company, where she enjoyed the monetary rewards of a successful 25 year sales career. Her path has been one of learning to create abundance inside and out, both in riches of the heart and in worldly prosperity.

Shortly after Karna began working for a Fortune 500 company, another tragic death altered her path. Someone very close to her died by suicide and she was first to find him. Her trauma and grief had a painfully profound impact and launched her into a quest for healing. As she experienced the benefits of grief counseling, she considered a career in this field to help others move forward following their own trauma and loss.

Exploring her options, Karna discovered Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and the deep, positive, lasting changes which its processes make possible. With NLP she realized her passion for helping people not only survive trauma, grief and loss, but transform and thrive in all areas of their lives. Karna often employs this theme of "transformation beyond survival" and finding the gift in life's challenges to help clients in their own journey.

Karna is also trained in Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Energy Healing, Shamanic Healing and The Symbols Way, offering extensive tools to serve her clients' needs, whether in the realm of physical or emotional health. She has worked with clients from around the world, from children to seniors, whose issues range from stress-management to life-threatening disease.

Working with people in person, on the phone and in personal retreats, Karna teaches clients to transform their limitations and utilize the Law of Attraction so that they too can manifest their dreams.

Happily married, Karna currently resides at their mountain home outside Missoula, Montana, where she enjoys hiking, biking, skiing and kayaking with her husband Kirk. They love to travel to experience the beauty and rich cultures of other parts of the world. Some of their favorite trips have been sailing through the Tahitian islands, experiencing Turkey, an unforgettable safari adventure in Africa, exploring the southern islands of New Zealand and discovering the wonder of Bali. Karna loves to spend time with family, especially her four grandchildren.
