Integration Counseling/Coaching
Come as you are.
All of you is welcome here.
WELCOME! I am glad you are here.
Each of us is on a unique and fascinating soul journey. Marked by constant change, our lives present us with gateways and cycles that can feel challenging at times. Navigating initiations, integrating life experience and changing patterns requires skill to do successfully. I am here to explore with you the entire constellation of your life.
You may be asking questions like:
How can I get un-stuck?
How can I process and integrate my psychedelic experience?
How can I change my relationship patterns and create healthy partnerships?
What can I do to find lucrative work that truly inspires me?
How can I release self-sabotaging tendencies and move forward in life?
I’m so confused – what is the purpose of my life?
How can I show up as a more authentic version of myself?
I have trauma from my past or my ancestors’ past – how can I resolve it and live more freely?
You are not broken
Rather than viewing symptoms and suffering as something to be “fixed”, I view them as a creative expression of something that wants to be known.
Life can be traumatic and complicated. Many of us live daily with the effects of past trauma, oblivious to the origins of our present-day pain.
Even without these experiences, it is human nature to suppress our authentic self to meet the expectations of family, friends, teachers, and the pressures of society. Desperate to belong, we dis-member ourselves to fit in. We suppress the wisdom within. Some people can exist for decades on autopilot; numb, foggy, and distracted.
UNTIL ONE DAY, WE REALIZE…
There must be something more to life.
THE APPROACH
Discovering vitality is a process of exploration, unburdening and integration in relationship with oneself and a trusted other. Together, we co-create and hold safe space for the whole you: the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual you. This powerful holistic approach is designed for you to feel seen, heard, and understood as never before. This opens the door to healing and leaps in personal and spiritual growth.
The purpose of integration is about re-membering – exploring and clarifying the various parts of the self, letting go of false selves, and coming into personal power and authenticity.
Integration Counseling/Coaching will help you:
heal trauma and cultivate resilience
connect to wellbeing and spiritual wholeness
discover your authentic voice
feel empowered, courageous and inspired
unleash your potential and purpose
live life fully and with meaning
This is an emergent space. Rather than focusing on a list of things to do to make life work better, the focus is on emotional and spiritual growth, holding space while you move through areas of pain and fear and reintegrate parts of Self.
When you are ready to choose a new path, I will he honored to support you with the following effective methods:

INTRODUCING DR. KARINA MENALI
There is hope. I care and I want to help.
I am honored to support you on your journey. As a guide with you on your path, I offer a multi-modal approach to help you in your process of healing and discovery.
Experience has shown me that as holistic beings, we need an integrative and empathetic approach to make lasting changes. I have spent most of my adult life developing skills and experience in multiple healing modalities: psychology, embodied shame and trauma healing, integrative medicine, energy healing, and ceremonial and shamanic arts.
In walking my own healing and discovery path day after day, I continue to learn that the Universe is a friendly place and the deepest elements of our psyches want to be known. When we approach ourselves with compassion and find the right ways to listen – when we feel sensations and connect them with corresponding thoughts and emotions – lasting healing and fulfillment of our greatest potential becomes a lived reality.
Come as you are. All of you is welcome here.
Are you ready to shine your light?
As you embark upon the journey, I will be by your side to help you shine a light into the darkness and reclaim your authentic self. This process will set you up to live in alignment with your true values, rediscover hidden potential, and help you open to possibilities.
This process is a commitment to yourself. It is a life-changing endeavor, which asks of your openness and willingness to do the work.
How do we live our lives fully and on purpose?
desire healing and living at a higher level – even if you can’t imagine what it would look like
be willing to dip into vulnerability
want to discover your potential
long for a deeper sense of purpose and connectedness with a greater life
entertain challenges as opportunities
actively choose life and take responsibility for your choices
cultivate relationship with what you deem to be sacred

I chose Dr. Karina because she has profound understanding of the connection between the emotional body, spiritual body, mental and physical body. Her sessions offer a sacred space allowing deep healing, inviting my bodies to let go of layers of tension. I walk away with more clarity, feeling calm and centered, and connected to my spiritual self. She has a gift to heal at a soul level.

Frequently Asked Question
What is Integration Counseling/Coaching?
Integration Counseling is a one-on-one engagement that guides you through the process of deep healing and spiritual growth.
A qualified practitioner creates a safe healing space and is deeply attuned to you as you explore your inner landscape.
The result is completion of previously unresolved trauma, release of self-limiting beliefs, discovery of your gifts and resources and their implementation in various aspects of your life
What is it like to experience deep healing?
The experience of deep healing is one of completing parts of the past, which can be powerful and life changing.
Some may be past events that you are not even aware of in the day to day, yet they may cause chronic suffering, anxiety and impact relationships to yourself and others.
In the process of transformation, clients report feeling:
-
- emotions that they have never felt before, such as pure joy
- liberated of emotional chains held for years or even decades
- like they have been realigned
- a renewed sense of purpose
- that they have a deeper understanding and trust of self
How many sessions of integration counseling/coaching do I need to see results?
This work is customized to each unique individual, so the short answer is “it depends”. Some people come for a handful of sessions and get what they need. Other people come regularly and do ongoing work to continue discovering and reaching new levels. I don’t prescribe sessions and there is no one-size-fits-all protocol. I offer co-creation and invite you to feel what is right for you.
What is possible with Integration Counseling/Coaching?
Integration counseling is guidance on the journey of healing, alignment, discovery, and growth.
Common outcomes include:
-
- The resolution of symptoms, issues, or existential crises
- Feeling more resilient and better equipped to face challenges and do life
- Healing both of developmental trauma and acute trauma
- Feeling more connected and less alone in the world
- Discover or rediscover passions, hidden talents, and a sense of living with purpose
- Feeling fulfilled and expansive
- Embracing, accepting, and loving oneself wholly, without conditions
- The resolution of ambivalence and core conflicts
- Awakening and enlivening previously dis-membered parts of self
- Regaining health and optimizing feelings of wellbeing, joy and peace
- Gaining the confidence to step into leadership
- Thriving in personal life and work life
What is a session like with Dr. Karina?
There are infinite ways that a session can unfold. You come as you are, and I meet you, as you are, in that moment.
Sessions may include talking, guided somatic processes, ceremonial rituals, role play, parts work, yoga, or reiki. I also use tools from plants, plant medicines and essential oils.
During a session, you may experience a profound insight and a deeper understanding of self. You may experience healing around core issues that are present in the moment.
You may experience feeling inspired and a deep sense of validation in honoring your journey. It is about discovery of the wisdom within, reconnection to self, and feeling a sense of belonging to a greater community as you live with a deeper sense of purpose.
I work with people online and in person. Both are very effective.
How does Integration Counseling/Coaching differ from traditional coaching, counseling, or therapy?
Integration counseling/coaching includes some elements of traditional coaching, counselling, and therapy, but the approach is more expansive and without a prescribed agenda.
As well as holding space for you to discover what lies within, a lot of the work is embodied; we work with body awareness, mindfulness practices, interoception, and proprioception.
Modalities may include Internal Family Systems, integrative medicine, plant medicine, herbs, and supplements to support your physiology. We may look at lifestyle and support you with spiritual practices and tools. It is a truly holistic process, guided by your needs in your journey.
There is also an energy work component – I bring the gift of intuition to create a space and opportunity for deeper and broader terrain to be traversed.
All of you is welcome here. You can be your complete self in this space. Every person has many inner characters, or archetypes that comprise our inner worlds – and sometimes they are not in alignment. Sometimes there is arguing between the parts, so we may do parts work to reconcile internal conflict.
Is a Zoom session as powerful as in-person?
Occasionally, I hear a concern about whether new clients will be able to feel connected and get benefit for Transformational Spiritual Counseling via video sessions.
The answer is yes, you can!
Even for my more technologically challenged or highly sensitive clients.
The space for this work can exist powerfully using modern communication technology. The connection we create will transcend geographical locations. We can connect wholly. In addition, you can experience the benefits of guided self-acupressure, meditation, breathwork, yoga therapy, and somatic-emotional processing to access your inner wisdom and activate an innate healing response.
As a holistic therapy, you can also optimize your health using natural medicine and wellness practices, from the comfort of your own home. AND for US residents, functional medicine, nutritional and oriental medicine, test kits, herbs and supplements can be shipped when needed.
