Rest Resources
3 WAYS TO DEEPEN YOUR CONNECTION WITH A TREE
Hi, I’m Karen.
YOGA NIDRA guide | REST rockstar | Storyteller
Storytelling & rest are what I do best. They are at the heart of everything I do.
Inspired by nature’s rhythms and Celtic wisdom, I offer transformative meditations and unique rest programs that help others experience profound relaxation. Deeply rooted in my French, Irish, and Scottish heritage, I honor my ancestors and celebrate the vibrant mosaic of cultures that make Nova Scotia home.
I hope you enjoy these rest resources, carefully chosen to support your journey into deep relaxation and renewal. May they inspire you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the restorative power of rest.
