We worked with Karuna over the course of several months to create a unique wedding ceremony that held great meaning for us. She acted as a facilitator to our process of unfolding, and it was a pleasure to work with her because of her gentle nature. She encouraged us to first think deeply about the ideas, feelings, and meaning behind the ceremony before getting into the details, and this was good advice. We came to realize that the process of creating our wedding ceremony was a rite-of-passage in itself, and we were so lucky to have the Karuna's wisdom and kindness to guide us through it. Karuna has a diverse background and knowledge about many different spiritual practices, so we would recommend her services to anyone who is planning a wedding ceremony, no matter what "style" it might be.

When we began palnning our wedding, we knew we didn't want a traditional chruch wedding. But, we weren't exactly sure what we did want. Karuna's services were referred and we made an appointment to meet her. We liked Karuna from the start. She had a peaceful presence with a calming voice and a lot of ideas for our ceremony. In the meetings prior to our wedding, she gave us direction via homework to help us figure out our preferences. She worked out the ideas and details and turned our ceremony into a complete, cohesive plan. Our ceremony was beautiful. We had a wonderful day, thanks to a lovely start provided by Karuna. We would recommend Karuna's services to friends, family and non-acquaintances.

"Karuna was a very integral part of not only our ceremony but also our planning process. Karuna's experience, wisdom, direction and insight help shape our wedding vows and ceremony into a perfect expression of our love and devotion to each other. "

"Karuna's love for movement, connection, and the sacred attunement to one's deepest truth comes through with such gentleness and sincerity that being guided by her is a gift and a delight. Her presence is a loving invitation to those she works with to let go into their more vulnerable places and discover new ways of moving, trusting, and connecting. What a heart-full and trusty guide!"

We had the benefit of two services from Kaurna and both were one of a kind and amazingly beautiful! My wife Reese and I found Karuna at just the right time. The person who was originally going to do our service had to have surgery and Karuna helped us pull together our final details. Karuna was a perfect fit for us. She took our rough draft and helped us mold it into the most beautiful and original ceremony. We received so many compliments on our ceremony as to how beautiful, intimate and different from anything that they had ever seen before.
Thank you so much Karuna!

"A more trustworthy, welcoming, and inspiring guide for any spiritual seeker would be hard to find! Karuna creates an environment in which people just naturally flourish. May her gentle wisdom and compassionate vision find many opportunities to be of benefit to beings."

"Karuna is a gifted healer and intuitive who walks gently with you as she helps you to discover the inner recesses of your soul. As a dreamworker, Karuna weaves together all of her natural skills to facilitate personal insight and spiritual growth. I have experienced her dream work sessions within the group setting and also on an individual basis and have found both experiences to be profound. My personal dream work with Karuna helped me to access universal and personal guidance from my subconsious. This has been a blessing and support for me as I tread my spiritual journey. Karuna is a rare treasure it is my joy to share this path with her."

"I loved having Karuna's expertise in my Phoenix University Comparative Religion class; her understanding and love for Judaism was so evident and compelling. The students were very impressed with her devotion and knowledge.
"I still wear the symbolic wrist band that was part of the beautiful, heartwarming and encouraging ritual Karuna created for me and our friends just prior to my cancer surgery operation. Karuna welcomed each of us, helping us come together as a small community; we were all touched by her creative wisdom, sensitivity and warm, loving generosity toward our gathering. I am grateful for bringing a magnificence and continual remembrance to a health opportunity that severely needed her creative prayer and celebrational genius."

"My respect for what Karuna does has grown in leaps and bounds as my dreams continue to help guide me. Karuna helped me access the wealth of knowledge locked in my subconscious. As my helper in dream interpretation she has added clarity and understanding to the veiled messages I have received.
"Three areas come to mind when I think of how Karuna has helped me: 1) her obvious background of knowledge and study, 2) her non-judgmental empathy which makes it easy for me to hear what she says, and 3) the positive way in which she frames her responses.
"I am grateful for Karuna's help in adding a measure of concrete-ness to areas that are hard to get a handle on: relationships, success at work, and personal growth and happiness."
In gratitude, Jeffrey Schmidt Owner, Schmidt Marketing and Creative Services
"Karuna helped me in my spiritual walk. I was struggling and she directed me and gave me confidence. I have since become very confident in my self and my faith and belief in a higher power. I have called on her when I needed a trusted pillar of strength and trusted spiritual advisor. She helped me keep focused and strong in my faith. I have worked with Karuna and have seen her compassion for seniors and others. She has a true gift to help others. I have great admiration for her ability to work with and comfort those who were dying by assisting them with her peaceful presence and spiritual guidance. What an awesome gift it is to have and be able to give to those who need it at a very needed time of their life."
