It is with joy that I bring you this website, now featuring a variety of media releases outside of my practical work as a Therapist. My hope is that you can sit in quiet solitude and find what you need to rebalance and fill your spirit with the joy that creates a new sense of being.
Click here for an extended intro ...
November 2004 was the beginning of this new inner direction to inspire others through the books and audio/visual meditations. When I connected with my heart, for those of you that have experienced this deep sense of knowing, all I could do was write. I truly feel that from this place in our hearts we are all divinely guided. I honor the various ways that we, as unique expressions of spirit, need support in the healing or rebalancing process of this physical experience.

"People often ask me how I've recovered so quickly after being kidnapped and held hostage in Somalia for 460 days. From the weeks after my release until now, Karen Barker has been my most trusted teacher and mentor. She has taught me meditation techniques which have helped me transform my suffering in Somalia into deep forgiveness and compassion- gifts that I now share with the world. Karen is a world class teacher whose wealth of spiritual knowledge has changed the perspectives, and lives, of countless people."

"Finding Rainbows", The Hip Operation Guidebook
"The Happy Hour" by Bill Brownridge
I experienced my first two total hip replacements with renowned surgeon Dr Cecil Rorabeck at the London Health Sciences Centre in 1996. In 2000, an unfortunate fall led me back where I underwent two revisions. Dr. Rorabeck has since retired and Dr. James Powell, at the Alberta Hip and Knee Clinic, heads my team. In July 2009, I underwent another revision and the process was my inspiration for this booklet. It can be overwhelming. My hope is that this colorful guide with gentleness and humor may lighten the load amidst the storm.
It is to be used in conjunction with any medical handouts you receive.

I have begun my teacher asissting with the Barral Insitute. It has been wonderful reviewing but also learning new information and becoming more precise in my skillset. I am very excited meeting fellow practitioners exploring the integration of his work in their practice. I have been studying personally with Dr. Jean Pierre Barral since 1997. In the summertime of 2011, I returned from an inspirational few weeks with Dr. Jean Pierre Barral and Dr. Alain Croibier. Please access Therapies for updates and new links section.
