SUCCESS STORIES
I first met Karla early part of 2007. Let me just some it up by saying she was a LIFE SAVER! I had lost my husband Sam in a car accident on October 18, 2006 and my mother in June 2006. Needless to say I was a wreck. Our first meeting Karla met with my 2 daughters and I. None of us really able to talk about it without breaking down. But thru Karla's gentle, kind and guiding words we managed to tell our story. Karla continued to see me for close to a year. Karla is my guardian angel, my inspiration to continue on without my husband, my soul mate. I met my husband when I was 17 years old and I was 45 when he passed away. In that respect Karla and I were similar as we both met our husbands at a very young age. In all of my feelings which sometimes I felt like I was going crazy Karla would reassure me it was ok no matter how I felt and would gently guide me thru all of my feelings and make me aware of ones I was keeping way down inside. My youngest daughter Sabrina would tell me she was having dreams about Daddy and she could sense him with us. I of course could not feel anything. I would ask Karla why is she able to have these wonderful experiences and not me? Karla told me I was too consumed in my grief to let anything in or anything out but reassured me Sam was with me and my girls, as she could feel his presence in the house. On several occasions I would express my doubts and abandonment feelings about not feeling Sam with me. Karla asked me one day if I would be open to a technique using meditation to try to open up my awareness of Sam with me. I was so excited to try this just to confirm for myself he was still with me. During this Karla spoke very quietly and gently told me to find a peaceful place and to picture Sam and me there. I pictured us in Maui on the beach. As we had vacationed there in July 2006 and would take walks every morning on the beach. But I did not speak at all thru this session Karla was doing all of the talking. When I pictured Sam he had on white pants and a tan and white shirt un buttoned down the front. When the session was complete Karla said to me (Theresa did you feel Sam, his presence was so strong I could see him) she went on to say we were on the beach which I confirmed and that Sam was wearing white pants and a shirt un-buttoned down the front. Now there is no way she could have known any of that. If someone was to say the beach you would assume they would have on shorts or swim trunks not pants and a shirt. But Karla knew exactly! I felt like a new person after that session knowing my husband was really with me, even in death. We continued in our bi weekly meetings and sometimes talking about Sam's presence with us. A couple of months later Karla asked me if I would be willing to let her try a reading to try to communicate with Sam. Again I was excited as obviously from past experiences with Karla I knew she had the ability to do this. I gave her a picture of Sam which she took with her. I was very anxious for our next meeting to see what happened. Again, she amazed me. She spoke about many personal things that no one but Sam and I knew. Some of the things are too personal to say but one I can share is when he showed her my daughters and I eating dinner and there was a meat, potato and vegetable. Which is what he had to have for dinner every night. But she said he did not tell her vegetables he told her green beans. I just started crying as no one expect the girls and I knew that is what he ate at every meal it had to be green beans or nothing. I knew she had really connected with Sam and there was no doubt in my mind. I have been very blessed to have wonderful family and friends to help my daughters and I try to get thru each day. But I also know that I would NOT have made it this far without Karla. Karla is the most amazing, caring, person I have ever known. Karla has somehow found the strength thru her own tragedy to be a compassionate grief coach for other people. I am truly blessed to have Karla in my life. THANK YOU KARLA!
