A love of tattoos. Two dogs. And a job that involves asking women to lie down and ignore everybody for a while.
Hello, I’m Karen—the woman behind Inner Sanctum Healing. 💜
If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know that peaceful surroundings don’t necessarily mean the woman running the show has a halo. 😉
My journey into therapies began with reflexology training back in 2007, followed by massage. Since then, it’s grown into a whole collection of ways to help people pause—from hands-on treatments to sound baths, breathwork, meditation and functional stretching.
I’m also a Humanist Celebrant, so I have the privilege of being alongside people for some of life’s biggest moments. It’s a lovely reminder that being trusted with someone’s story is never a small thing.
Outside work, I love a tattoo, adore my two dogs, Bullet and Piper, and can usually find a reason to dream up another event for women.
Preferably one where, for once, you’re not the person organising everything for everyone else.
Because that’s what I’m passionate about: making space for the woman who’s remembered everyone’s appointments, answered everyone’s questions and somehow reached bedtime without checking in with herself.
The one who says, “I’m fine,” while mentally running seventeen departments.
You don’t have to arrive feeling calm. You don’t need to know how to meditate, touch your toes or have a clue what a singing bowl does.
You can come on your own. You can be quiet. You can have a laugh, shed a tear, or simply enjoy an hour when nobody’s asking you what’s for dinner.
Whether I’m planning a ladies’ retreat, setting out the sound bath mats or welcoming someone for a treatment, I care about the little things that help you feel comfortable, included and properly looked after.
There’s a lot of heart behind Inner Sanctum. A fair bit of laughter, too. And somewhere behind the scenes, probably dog hair on my trousers.
I’m Karen. I’ll bring the bowls. You bring yourself. That’s plenty. 💜 xx
