“I will help you understand your body in a new and profound way.”
I had burning in my joints and could feel the inflammation building. I undertook my first-ever detox with Karina’s special guidance and constant advice. I never felt hungry and now all the pain has gone. I have more energy and am more conscious about what I am eating. I cannot thank her enough for her expertise and gentle encouragement.

The treatments and care that I have received by Karina have been exceptional. Her ability to utilise a multitude of skills for healing and pain relief have been so effective for my health. I highly recommend working with Karina for better health and well being.
