“Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.”

About

My name is Karen Blankenship and I am a Certified Jungian Life Coach and Grief Educator. I received my certification through CreativeMind University. I help individuals find a deeper understanding of themselves and discover their authentic selves. Coaching is not therapy and will not try to fix you. I will help you reach your goals and be your guide through the process.I have always been pulled to help people, to deeply listen and empathize, as well as, point out things they may not see. A large portion of my career I did that through supporting and aligning with executives in the corporate world. Wanting to take my abilities to a new level, I went to graduate school for a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA. For many years I worked extensively with grief. I have experienced a lot of loss in my life from terminally ill, where I knew it was coming to heart attack and suicide, where I was completely blindsided. Having experienced so much grief in my life, and having extensive training in grief, I can meet you where you are and help you through each step of the grieving journey. I have facilitated several SOSL (Survivors of Suicide Loss) groups, as well as several hospice camps and SOSL events.If you are at a place in your life where you want to know more about yourself, you want to discover your many layers and work through what is holding you back, coaching is for you. If you want to delve deeper and figure out why you are stuck, why you repeat patterns, why you react the way you do to certain people and situations, please contact me. I would be honored to assist you in becoming your most authentic self. If you have had a loss, or will have a loss, and would like an ally to walk with you through the grief process, please contact me. You do not have to do this alone.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." Carl Jung

Testimonials

When I reached out to Karen in October, I was dealing with serious job burn out and struggling to balance my work and personal life (including raising a one year old). I had overwhelming feelings of anxiety and fear and felt stuck in a routine that I didn’t know how to change.Karen responded to my inquiry right away and provided a questionnaire so I could identify and prioritize the areas of my life that I wanted to focus on. The biggest value-add of our sessions, and something I couldn’t have done alone, was assigning reasonable and actionable steps to achieving each goal. It can be difficult to see the forest through the trees when your brain is in constant fight or flight mode, so having clearly defined steps was like following a roadmap to improving my life. I also felt accountable for completing these steps since I knew we would discuss them in our next session, so I wasn’t able to revert back to that, “it’s really not that bad…” way of thinking that has sabotaged me before. Other helpful tools that I’ve incorporated into my everyday life thanks to Karen include journaling and meditating.Karen has a calm and supportive demeanor and is an excellent lister. Karen allowed me space to reflect, process, and talk about my feelings, but also provided valuable questions and feedback so I could really drill down and recognize my strengths and address my weaknesses. I can confidently say that my life (both personally and professionally - I got a wonderful new job) has greatly improved since I began my coaching sessions with Karen.

Karen is a gifted and talented coach whose background in counseling really comes through in the way she is able to be absolutely present in every moment while working with me. I don't think that I have ever felt so seen and heard as when I am working with her. She has helped me recognize patterns that seem to keep repeating in my life, helps to identify routes forward, and provides amazing tools and support to get there. She has coached me through both personal and professional changes and challenges and I highly recommend working with her if you get the chance!Rachael P.

I signed on with Karen to help me process the grief over a breakup that was overwhelming me. What she has helped me uncover during my work with her, has been so much more than that. Her ability to listen and tune into me, and what I am expressing are a gift to my life. I trust her with any parts I'm struggling with, as she guides me through clouded thinking, to clarity...from fear to curiosity. She embodies safety, wisdom and compassion. Love her!
