”I was fortunate to have had the wisdom to take Karri’s “Heal Your Life” course during a time when I really needed a caring touch. Karri provided that and helped me to realize that first I need to love myself. We all can and should be able to provide that caring touch for ourselves. Throughout the course, Karri found examples that directly related to my own situation. This made the material resonate. I had countless “a ha” moments!”
- Maria S.

”Karri is an excellent life coach. I’m a wife, mother of two, and Executive in Corporate America. Karri assisted me in creating a good balance between all three thus helping me prioritize and keep all the balls in the air. She helped me handle the guilt I felt when I didn’t over-achieve in all aspects of my life. She also strengthened my relationship with my husband by assisting me to not hold resentment towards him when trying to find that balance. I highly recommend Karri as a life coach.”

“Karri was incredibly patient, clear-headed, and compassionate with  me when I was really struggling to make an important change in my life. I  had struggled to sell some real estate for years with no success. Putting  the property on the market strained my finances even more, but was the  only way to solve the problem. After two sales in a row fell through, it  looked like I was headed for foreclosure. I felt mired in a spiral of fretting  over what terrible things could go wrong in my life, believing that I was  powerless to make changes. Everything I had tried had failed, and the  strain was stealing joy from every part of my life.  

Karri helped me recognize that I had grown to expect failure and  disappointment, which fueled resentments that made me even more  pessimistic. She asked me poignant questions about the way I was  framing the situation and guided me through a new way to view my  intentions, my goals, and what I was experiencing. Together, we practiced  reframing my emotional responses to unexpected events, in a way that  maintained my sense of power and optimism. She helped me discover  some trigger points that seemed to ignite negative responses, and taught  me practical methods for returning to a positive mindset, couched in a  sense of personal power and faith in my ability to reach my goals. After we  spoke, I experienced a couple more roadblocks related to the sale, but I  persevered and practiced reframing the events as merely part of the  process. A couple months later, the property finally sold, after years or  trying.  

Karri is a fantastic coach. She knows how to listen and how to help  you discover your own solutions. She has so much compassion, that I  never felt judged. She knows how to push me hard enough to face my own  denial, but to still be gentle and forgiving with myself. She helped me  discover my own solutions, and provided me with clear methods for  reaching my own goals. I recommend her to anyone who needs a little bit  (or a lot!) of help living the life they imagine. “

“Like many, the pandemic of 2020 precipitated a deep revaluation of my life and work.  Teaching special education was my career but also my passion for 24 years.  When schools closed online learning began, I experienced a significant change in my physical and mental health.  After teaching virtually, I was not exhausted, drained, or irritable, like I often was after teaching before the COVID shutdown.  The pandemic pause provided me with time and energy to reflect and I soon realized I could not go back to teaching.  

Facing a career crisis, I knew I needed help.  However, I had no idea where to start or who to consult.  Fortunately, a college friend mentioned Karri Powers, a Life Coach and independent insurance specialist.  I investigated her website and her “Inner Heart Wisdom” resonated with me immediately.  In just a few sessions with Karri, I was able to identify self-limiting behaviors which impacted my confidence, ambition, and self-esteem.  Karri helped me understand my years of classroom experience, education and training translated perfectly into a career in higher education.

With Karri’s expert coaching, I was able to make an informed decision about my professional path.  Karri not only helped me identify a new career, but her expertise in insurance also allowed me to retire from teaching with health insurance choices.  I am now entering my last year of a fully funded PhD program in special education.  In a few short months, I will graduate and fulfill my dream of preparing future teachers who are passionate about helping students with special needs.  

If you are at a professional or personal crossroads, I highly recommend contacting Karri Powers.  I am forever grateful to Karri’s life changing role in my life.  She will help you identify and harness your own “powers for life”.  We all have “inner heart wisdom”.  However, most of us are unable to remove the blocks to achieve our full potential.   It takes a caring, dedicated, and well-trained professional to connect you to your extraordinary abilities, to reveal your Divine wisdom.  Let Karri be this person for you.“

“I have known Karri for a while and had the honor of doing some coaching  sessions with her. They have really changed my outlook and my self love  and compassion for myself. I would recommend Karri to anyone who  struggles with self worth, feelings of shame, and feeling stuck in repetitive  patterns. The work we did together is still showing up for me in unusual and  magical ways. Thank you Karri, it’s so wonderful to be more of myself  everyday and to like who I am.”

“Karri and I worked together on my relationship with my mother. Karri was  way ahead of me in terms of what was going on for me and what I was  experiencing. She was with me and supporting me every step of the way...  gently guiding me towards facing something I have needed to face all of my  life. That my mother is a narcissist. This had been here all along and as a  result has impacted every area of my life. It was staring me in the face but I  couldn’t see or face it.

I trusted Karri completely and she paced me towards  facing some really tough realities. It was hard at times and the healing  process is still unfolding. As a result of the sessions we did together I am  reshaping my relationship with my mother, my husband, my daughter and  most importantly myself. I couldn’t recommend Karri more highly. She is  intuitive, caring, empathetic and a thoroughly safe and wonderful person to  learn from. She taught me how to show up for myself.”

Through networking with my business, I have been in contact with  several "life coaches" in the area, but was reluctant to try such a  "luxury." I met Karri at the right time and I knew this was  something that would benefit me professionally. Karri and I  endeavored on a series of 8 sessions and I soon learned that this  isn't a luxury at all - it is essential for my mind, body, spirit  connection both personally and professionally.

I can't say  enough great things about Karri. She has a warm and genuine  care for helping people. She is insightful and knowledgeable. She knows when to lead and when to follow - she steps in, but  allows for my path, not hers. We completed our first 8 sessions -  and I signed on for more. I am looking forward to a great year  with Karri keeping me accountable! I highly recommend you try  Karri. You'll be in a better place for the experience.

Karri came into my life when my daughter needed me the most. I  recently met Karri to discuss issues I had with a growing teenage  daughter and like most parents you never want to fail your children  and as much as you try to ensure them that things will be ok it seems  as though coming from a parent, being ok was miles and miles away.  Karri was able to instantly connect with my situation and understood  the teenage phases of life.

She was able to speak with my daughter  and offer suggestions for moving forward. I’ve noticed a drastic  change in my daughter with how she approaches different situations  now. After every session my daughter just tells me how a weight has  been lifted off of her shoulders and that it’s awesome to speak to  someone so openly. Karri, you have an amazing way of connecting to  people. It’s a gift. You are special! I highly
recommend Karri for life  coaching.

“Karri really helped me during a difficult time in my high school life.  Everything in high school from school work, to thinking about college,  and relationships seemed overwhelming, but Karri really helped me to prioritize myself and take care of myself despite everything I was dealing with.

She helped me realize that only I could determine my worth as an individual, and that other people’s opinions, while they  might get you down or sad, actually don’t matter. She was also a  great listener when I felt like I was too overwhelmed to function. I am  proud of the woman I have become. I believe everyone could benefit from life coaching, and there shouldn’t be any stigma surrounding mental health. Your mental health is part of your overall health, and  Karri helped me to realize that.”

Karri helped me at a critical time in my life when things could have gone very differently. After an unexpected and devastating loss, my once evening “wine with dinner” enjoyment had turned into a full blown drinking problem that I could not get control of. Through Karri’s unwavering support I was able to come home to myself and work through the pain that caused the need for alcohol in the first place.  Karri was so compassionate and understanding.  I never felt judged or criticized, and that really helped me heal and take back control of my life. “
