RECLAIM YOUR POWER.
COUNSELING AND ENERGY THERAPIES TO GUIDE YOU BACK TO YOUR BODY, YOUR WISDOM, YOUR JOY.
Reconnect with Your wise self
Hi, I’m Karen Oberhill, MA, LPC, a Spiritual Counselor, Reiki Master Teacher and Hypnotherapist with sessions available in Kalamazoo, MI, and virtually or from a distance worldwide. With 19 years of experience working in Higher Education and as a private practice therapist, I bring clinical and experiential understanding, energy practices like EFT Tapping and Qigong, and an attuned awareness to this work. My role is to create a grounded, respectful space where we can slow down, listen deeply, and move forward together. My mission is to help as many people as possible to understand and step into their personal power so they can exercise their agency, heal without suffering, and experience more joy.
I create trauma-informed environments where people can feel safe to relax, listen to themselves, and reconnect with their natural capacity to heal—integrating mind, body, and spirit. I offer customized session options and ask for consent during sessions to create transparency and collaboration in our healing spaces.
It's important for everyone to feel connected to the person they ask to assist them with their healing. Here are some of the life situations I have personally experienced: growing up deeply sensitive in a chaotic and high control family of origin, feeling left out and alone, religious pressure, identity confusion, difficulty maintaining stress levels and anxiety, struggles with body image and self esteem, imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, the desire to prove my worth by fixing, saving and rescuing others, reparenting myself, car accidents, surgeries, chronic illness, divorce, alcohol dependency and coping crutches, coparenting struggles, celebrating my LGBTQIA+ child, systemic challenges, finding romantic love after pain, devastating losses, reinventing my career, learning to honor and respect who I am and find people/places that do the same, reclaiming the joy of living.
Some of the people I work with have already done significant inner work. Others are curious to learn about their intuition and want practical skills for connection to their inner knowing. Many people I work with have trouble feeling quiet enough to listen inward, and we work on nervous system calm through practices and play. You don't have to perform, over-analyze or struggle. You are met however you are.
Is This You?
This space is designed for you if you are interested in any of the following:
-
Learn to receive care, listen to your body, and understand and manage your own energy in any environment.
-
Talk openly about spirituality and your experiences, discuss meaning, purpose, shadow work, younger parts healing, life after death, intuition, your energy, and the quantum field.
-
Focus intentionally on shifting one specific pattern so your nervous system can integrate the work
-
Stand firmly in your unique skills and own your personal power without creating long-term dependency on any external source.
Please note: Our work is a complementary, integrative approach and is not a replacement for psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or Western/Eastern medical treatments. It is designed for individuals who feel mentally resourced and want to explore emotional, relational, or behavioral patterns in a mind-body-spirit inclusive healing container.
How We Work Together
To support meaningful progress with a clear beginning, middle, and end, we choose from a tailored menu of holistic options based on your intention:
-
Grounded Clarity: Counseling-informed techniques like Healing Shadow and Younger Parts work, combined with holistic and somatic tools to calm your nervous system.
-
Subconscious Exploration: Hypnotherapy journeys, card readings, and guided meditations.
-
Spiritual Expansion: Intuitive development and exploring your unique spiritual gifts, meaning, and purpose.
-
Energy Management and Nervous System Reset: Learn to manage your own energy so you can slow down and make empowered choices in your life. We engage practices, your guidance, and Reiki energy work (a Japanese relaxation technique that promotes healing and balance).
-
Reiki mentoring options so you can stand in your healing power and feel capable, and confident to assist others, animals, and the earth in a gentle yet powerful way.
Why You Might Be Here
If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone. And it doesn’t have to stay this way. Healing can be gentle and still move you forward.

Your mind rarely slows down, even when you try to rest.
-
You’ve done deep personal or therapeutic work, but something still feels stuck.
-
You’re highly sensitive to others’ emotions or energy—and it can feel overwhelming.
-
You’ve lost touch with your intuition or find it hard to trust yourself.
-
You’re moving through a transition or spiritual awakening and need steadier ground.
-
You’re a creative person, parent, caregiver, helper, or healing professional who is tired of holding everything together.
-
You want to understand and develop your gifts to be of service.
Ways we can work together
Available In-Person in Kalamazoo, MI, or via Distance/Zoom Worldwide.
Spiritual Counseling with Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki Combined Sessions
I offer Spiritual Counseling, which means that I hold a non-judgmental space for your to explore your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and choices. My background as a Licensed Professional Counselor taught me that the most important thing I can do is to affirm and support you as you do your healing work. My clients often express gratitude for having a space to share things that others might judge or find strange. We work to help you remember the times when you felt intuitive, using your ability to see, feel or perceive outside of your 5 senses. Spiritual Counseling looks at lessons in your life, relationships and situations from the perspective of learning and growth. We can discuss shadow work, inner child/teenage/younger parts work, any spiritual topic you are curious about, read a spiritual book together, learn about how energy works, explore your spirit's wisdom, and more. You can join me live via Zoom, or see me at my office in Kalamazoo, MI. My Reiki training is rooted in the Usui Reiki tradition through the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), offering you another layer of connectivity to your inner world.
Empowerment Mentoring Containers
-
Career Alignment: As a Career and Employment Counselor for 11 years working in Higher Education. I loved illuminating patterns for people from all walks of life, helping them to understand, appreciate and utilize their unique talents and gift. If you are feeling bored or unmotivated in your career, we can open the door to possibilities. We can use targeted assessments, like ONET, StrengthsFinder2.0 or Human Design. We can practice networking and interviewing and utilize decision-making tools to illuminate the patterns that will help you take your next authentic step.
-
Spiritual and Reiki Mentoring: For individuals awakening to the truth of who we are outside of the physical, and who want a judgment-free space to practice their intuitive skills and explore their spiritual gifts to use in the service of others and the world. If you are interested in coming back to Reiki after some time away, this offering is also perfect for you. If you are curious about learning Reiki, I welcome you to try a session so we can explore that option.
Energy Management Sessions for Adults, Kids, or Teens:
-
Clinical Foundation: Experience a clinically grounded and age-appropriate approach where you can slow down, calm your nervous system and tune into your inner wisdom. Managing your energy includes managing boundaries, your biosphere, and the environments in which you participate. Learn to trust the subtle information you are receiving and feel empowered to make decisions that align with your values and needs.
-
Practical & Intuitive Integration: Build confidence and practice releasing the energy that doesn't serve you through using concrete somatic and energy practices (sound, breath, and movement) with intuitive energy tools that empowers you to regulate yourself and your space regardless of external factors.
Angel/Oracle/Tarot Card Readings:
These sessions are centered on awareness, reflection, and personal empowerment through symbolic and intuitive exploration. We uncover your narrative, the stories that keep you feeling like a victim instead of someone with power and agency.
Format
Available as a solo session or as a mentorship.
Angel, Oracle or Tarot Card Reading Solo Session: You choose the decks and we use a mind-body-spirit-relationships-career-direction spread. This is a fun and interactive offering combining the card images with my counseling and guidance skills. You practice your intuition and play!
Intuition Mentorship
This mentorship is designed to help you develop your intuition, explore symbolic storytelling through Tarot, Angel and Oracle cards, and deepen self-awareness through reflective, insight-based practice.
Rather than focusing on prediction, this work uses Tarot as a narrative and symbolic tool — a way of exploring the patterns, beliefs, and internal stories that may be shaping how you experience your life. You are invited to connect to your intuition, choose what feels aligned, supportive, or ready to shift, to play, and to use your creativity.
Note: I serve as a guide to support your reflection process while you strengthen trust in your own intuition and lived experience. This work is collaborative, grounded, and reflective in nature.
Hypnotherapy Sessions and Regression Journeys:
Hypnotherapy and Regression Journeys are therapeutic approaches that use focused relaxation to access the subconscious mind, helping individuals uncover insights and create positive change. Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis—a state of enhanced focus and deep relaxation—to address various mental, emotional, and behavioral conditions. Regression therapy is a specialized form of hypnotherapy that guides individuals to past, parallel or potential future experiences—to understand the root causes and healing potential of present-day struggles. Please review my Hypnotherapy Page for specific details, options, and safety information.
Corporate Wellness, Club & Business Collaborations
I love partnering with fellow helpers, healers, and businesses that are committed to employee wellness, and to the values of equity, justice and personal empowerment. Let’s connect over tea or coffee to co-create introductory workshops, group meditation or energy management experiences, tools for intuition and self trust, or 1-1 employee wellness sessions that are geared to help increase personal agency and creativity, and reduce stress, anxiety or burnout.

A Note on healing:
"Healing doesn’t require forcing ourselves to change, and it doesn’t happen because someone else tells us what to do. It begins when we feel safe enough to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with ourselves.
Utilizing years of experience helping people uncover what is right with them, I guide you back to your center so you can hear, trust, and respond to your own inner wisdom again. If you feel called to explore that process, I would be honored to walk alongside you.”
— Karen Oberhill, MA, LPC, Spiritual Counselor, Reiki Master Teacher, Hypnotherapist
Honoring Safety & Readiness
Because our work deeply engages the subconscious and the nervous system, these sessions are structured as a complementary, integrative approach. They are best suited for individuals who are:
-
Emotionally resourced
-
Free of non-prescribed substances 48 hours prior to session, and rested
-
Not in acute crisis, active addiction, or experiencing psychosis
If you are currently navigating a tender or urgent season, I highly encourage you to work with the licensed medical or mental health providers who can offer the acute care you deserve.
ABOUT ME
Meet Karen
The name 6 Ray Healing came to me in a meditation when I was deep in my Reiki Master Teacher training. The 6th Angelic Ray of healing is the Ray of Devotion and Peace. As a child, I felt loving, egoless energy around me. I imagine that energy to be my guardian angels, or messenger and protector energies. I like to think we are all born with this beautiful gift of loving energy that guides us towards our soul path and peace, and away from harm. I am devoted to my service mission, to self reflection and growth, and to the unity and empowerment of all beings. The number 6 also signifies my desire to help connect people to their own 6th sense, or inner wisdom. I love helping people to connect to their natural abilities to see, hear, feel and perceive beyond the 5 senses.
I blend counseling skills with intuition, nervous system awareness, somatic wisdom, and energy therapies. For the past 19 years, I’ve walked alongside others through challenges, deep life transitions, loss, career changes, and spiritual awakenings. My approach is steady, present, and deeply attuned to you.
My Philosophy: Your Pacing Leads the Way
Healing is most sustainable when it reconnects you to your own natural capacity for insight, choice, and change.
In this container, your intuition and your pacing lead the process. My role is never to create dependency, but to support you in strengthening your own inner guidance so you can understand your gifts and purpose, and move forward with absolute clarity and confidence. We explore containers with a beginning, middle and and end so you can go out into the world, practicing what you learn. If you feel called to explore that process, I would love to walk next to you.
I am also honored to share that my article, The Ways Reiki Enhanced My Therapy Practice, was published in Reiki News Magazine (Spring 2026).
Why I Do This Work
As I worked through my own healing, I noticed that a core belief kept me small:
“It’s not safe to be fully myself.”
Along the way, other beliefs stemmed from that one:
-
I can’t trust myself.
-
Others know better than me.
-
My intuition isn’t real.
-
My feelings are a problem.
-
My voice will cause conflict.
-
If I am my whole self, I won’t belong.
These beliefs don’t just live in the mind—they live in the body, the nervous system, and our energetic patterns. In energy traditions, these blocks often show up as chronic tension, self-doubt, or overextension across our energetic centers (Chakras):
Root — fear, instability, survival stress
Sacral — guilt, suppression of emotion, desire, or pleasure
Solar Plexus — shame, self doubt, loss of personal power
Heart — grief, disconnection, self-abandonment
Throat — silence, people-pleasing, difficulty expressing truth
Third Eye — confusion, self-doubt, lack of inner trust
Crown — disconnection from meaning, guidance, or spiritual trust
By combining Reiki energy with Spiritual Counseling, grounding techniques, hypnotherapy journeys, and intuitive tools, we work gently with these patterns—without forcing insight or re-living trauma. Instead, we create space to slow down, regulate your system, and reconnect with your natural clarity, strength, and inner guidance.
This is the heart of my work: ethical, grounded sessions that prioritize consent, pacing, and emotional and energetic awareness, so you can come home to yourself and to balance in your life.
