Come Home

Karol has been a great help to me in my ongoing journey to recover from TMS.  After a lifetime of chronic pain and digestive issues, countless visits to doctors who couldn’t explain my pain or my malfunctioning digestive system, endless medical procedures, injections, surgeries (that I now know were unnecessary), extreme restrictive diets, thousands of dollars spent on physical and psychological therapy, massage, acupuncture and alternative treatments, none of which provided any relief, I was lucky to stumble upon the work of Dr. Sarno in June of 2021.  With a sense of hope for the first time in my life, I read, studied, took an online TMS recovery course, and practiced everything I had learned consistently every day. After a year and a half of hard work, I noticed some improvement, but had a sense that there was still a piece missing. I am so grateful to have connected with Karol!  Her gentle, supportive and validating approach to TMS counseling, along with her deeply professional, as well as personal, understanding of the root causes of TMS have greatly enhanced my progress toward recovery.  She provided some wonderfully effective “tools” that I use regularly when I have a flare-up, helped me clarify the essential mind-set necessary for management of symptoms, and our sessions together facilitated my connection with inner aspects of myself that needed serious attention.  Working with Karol has been life-changing for me, and I know she is exactly the piece in my TMS recovery that I sensed was missing.  Thank you, Karol!

I have been suffering for more than 2 years of long covid, but right now I am healing by applying the mind-body tools and I am making tremendous progress. I can now do everything physically, like walking with my dog for 1 hour or more, cycling in my city and taking little trips. I am also starting to expand my world by seeing friends and family again. Karol has profound knowledge of mind-body work. She is a wonderful, attentive listener and very supportive in the healing journey. Her coaching skills help me feel my emotions better and her deep understanding of what is necessary to heal is very helpful. I am sure she can make a difference to you!

While I’m obviously quite happy to be experiencing fewer migraines, one of the biggest takeaways that I’ve learned from Karol is that success in addressing MBS is not defined by a particular outcome, but instead, by lessening the fear around the pain. So more importantly, I no longer fear migraines like I used to. Migraines don’t control me or my life anymore. Through working with Karol, I’ve learned to turn toward my pain, instead of trying to hide from it or avoid it, and that has made all of the difference.

She’s wonderful if you are interesting in getting personal help with your symptoms and working with someone who truly understands what’s going on. I am so grateful to have had the chance to work with her. It’s nice to have someone trained, gentle, kind, educated and intuitive give you direction on how to heal from your body’s “producing symptoms” taking over your life. Karol is honest and positive and easy to work with! I highly recommend her!
