About Karina Gerhardt-Strachan

When it comes to health and health promotion, there is a strong focus on the body and physical health. Yet the underlying mental, emotional and spiritual factors are just as important but often taken less into consideration.

Karina was raised in a holistic manner, with an emphasis on the wellbeing of BodyMindSpirit. However, during her undergraduate degree in Health Studies at Queen’s University (Kingston, ON, Canada), she noticed the component of spiritual health missing in the discussions of health and health promotion. This awareness prompted her leading-edge Master’s thesis research, exploring the place of spirituality in Canadian health promotion.

During her degree, she was honoured to be able to present her research at an international conference on spirituality, religion and healthcare in England in 2018. After graduating, she went on to deliver a TEDx talk (2020) and publish a paper in Health Promotion International (2021), a leading peer-reviewed academic journal.

Her upbringing and academic research largely inform her other qualifications. Her certification in Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), a powerful stress-relief tool also colloquially known as tapping, has allowed her to further bridge science and spirituality. Karina enjoys combining the evidence-based tool of EFT tapping and being a spiritual guide. She gently helps people to explore their inner landscape so that they can release limitations, shine their light brighter and reveal more of their authentic self to the world.

Whether working 1-to-1 or in groups with people, you can expect Karina to bring a calm, peaceful and spiritual, yet grounded, approach to helping you accomplish your wellness goals & desires.

“You have such a radiant energy.
It’s like a balm to just be in your presence”
