10 Useful Questions to Ask Yourself if You’re Feeling Stuck in Life
17 Coaches Teach You How to Hold Space For Others

Feeling out of sorts? Not quite whole? Not fulfilled? Un-motivated and perhaps even powerlessness?

 

I’ve felt all those things. And I knew I had to change my trajectory.

 

I know first hand that by changing your internal world, you change the external one too. We are a combination of our daily thoughts our daily actions and what we choose to focus on inevitably will become our reality.

 

If you are looking to reclaim your power, energy, motivation and mojo…

 

You’ve found a place to begin.

Hi, I’m Karissa.

 

In the patriarchal society we live in, its common for women to feel powerless and lacking control.

 

It often seems that if we’re not giving away our power freely, someone is trying to take it from us… at a cost too great to ourselves.

 

I’m here to tell you, from my own experience, it all begins with a choice. A choice to own your life. To believe that you are capable of creating your wildest and greatest dreams.

 

I believe the mind and the body are one, and what we do to one affects the other.

 

What we consume becomes us.

 

How we expend our energy ultimately determines how much we have.

 

We complicate what is really simplistic.

 

We are energy.

 

And we must maintain our energy in and our energy out.

 

The difference becomes who we are.

Work With Me

Powerhouse Prana is based on the concept that with every breathe, with every choice, with every thought and action we have the ability to reclaim our power.

 

It all starts with one breathe, one moment, where you decide you are worthy of investing in the greatest relationship you’ll ever have…

 

the one with you.

  • 1:1 Coaching

    There is no one size fits all methodology. The crux of coaching is; where are you at now, where do you want to be; whats getting in the way? I'll assist you in identifying the obstacles that are keeping you stuck and finding ways to remove them so you can the space you deserve to step into your most powerful prana, or life force.

  • Recipes

    After a divorce that led me to dive into healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was flabbergasted at the lack of knowledge around nutrition, the brain gut connection, and how so many of us are using food not as the powerful medicinal force it can be, but a drug to dissociate and disconnect us from ourselves. My recipes are a powerful asset towards greater holistic health.

  • Mindful Eating

    Food is energy. Prana is life force energy. And mindful eating is so much more than suggested recipes – this will help you tap into your rest and digest parasympathetic nervous system in a way that you're noticing if you're full, detoxifying your mind and gut from the addictions and cravings that don't serve your system, and naturally feeling more like the powerhouse of energy you were destined to be.

  • Group Coaching

    We are not meant to do life alone. In fact our true nature is that of a tribal community. A community that makes us feel seen, heard and known. Thats the crux of what we'll do here. We'll empathize, validate, and process what comes up in a way that demystifies toxic shame and creates a feeing of hey ``me, too!”

  • Daily Rituals

    These tools are the secret sauce to coaching. Sprinkle in the powerful positive psychology methodology I've learned through my coaching courses and yoga teacher trainings and up-level your quality of life.

  • Powerhouse Prana Performance Sessions

    My modern mobile lifestyle has inspired me to provide content online. Over a Zoom session, I'll attempt to meet your greatest needs through challenging vinyasa flows, ashtanga short form, and deep fascial releasing yin classes.

Here are what clients who have worked with me have to say about their experience:

  • "I had the MOST amazing experience at Karissa and Tia's yoga retreat. From the serene beauty of the B Bar Ranch in Tom Miner Basin to the expertly guided yoga and meditation sessions. It was truly a transformative journey for both my body and soul. Karissa and Tia's passion for yoga and their warm, nurturing approach created an environment of self-reflection and personal growth. Beyond grateful for the amazing weekend. I left feeling centered and with a heart full of gratitude. Can't wait to join them again on another journey. You two filled my cup and helped me find my voice... "

  • "I attended Tia and Karissa’s Empowerment Workshop in July, 2023 and was so thankful for the opportunity to breathe, meditate, journal and be vulnerable in a safe space. I left feeling hopeful and optimistic knowing I have the power to make meaningful choices in my journey to be the best version of myself. I am looking forward to joining them for one of their upcoming retreats."

    Julie, Montana

  • "I was fortunate enough to encounter Karissa's warm presence at a yoga festival- we were complete strangers but her energy was contagious. She approached me and gave me a hug (which was SO needed that day) and we connected. After chatting I found out she was a life coach, her timing was perfect. Karissa helped me to set firm boundaries in my life, get out of my own way with my goals and understand my 'why'. I stopped 'should-ing' on myself and it was the beginning of a more comprehensive soul evolution. When I think of Karissa, she was the person who helped me get out of my own way. Realizing that the only thing holding me back....was me and my self limiting beliefs. Karissa walks the walk and talks the talk. Even now, she continues to motivate me and remind me through lessons that we worked on together. Life coaching sounds like something that feels inaccessible, or even superfluous to the average lay person. In my opinion, it is sometimes the person that we hire in order to become the best version of ourselves, someone to hold us accountable to ourselves, when we are not capable of doing it on our own. Karissa is really great and the space and she is not afraid to peel back the layers of the onion to get to the root in order to help her clients evolve into the version of themselves that they would like to be. Bottom line, Karissa excels at helping you get out of your own way between you and whatever your goal may be."

    Caitlin, California

  • "I cannot say enough about my wonderful experience with Karissa. I met her at a time in my life when I felt very stuck. I was stuck emotionally, mentally, and physically after getting out of a terrible relationship. I knew the vision I had for my life, but I felt paralyzed on taking the steps to get there. My sense of self-worth was at an all time low. Karissa was the light I needed in my life. Every time we spoke she helped me identify what I wanted for myself, set goals for me to get there, and helped me celebrate my wins. Before Karissa I honestly never celebrated my wins and I never realized that. More than anything, Karissa showed me that everything I wanted for myself was already within me. She kept me accountable and helped me fall in love with myself again. I identified what I wanted for my life and have continued to say no to anything that doesn't align with my dreams. Forever grateful."

    Chelsi, Texas

  • "It’s a beautiful thing when you meet someone so passionate about their work and connected to their dharma that its as if the universe is speaking to you through them. That’s Karissa. She has a really beautiful energy that you can immediately sense and that puts you at ease to begin to unpack those parts of yourself that you hide or are hesitant to share. You can tell Karissa really wants to see you grow and she is fueled herself but helping you to live the best version of yourself. She is a partner, a guide, and a loving support. We all need accountability partners and a helping hand on this life journey, and I wouldn't want anyone else to be by my side cheering me on than such a committed and passionate soul as Karissa."

    Mari, Washington D.C.

  • "Working with Karissa was a pivotal point in my life turning around. Her soft presence, guidance, encouragement and practical tools gave me so much hope, which was something I had lost while going through a divorce. It was the first time I felt real excitement for my life and my future. What stood out the most was how much Karissa would tell me I'm doing the work, she's just a guide. She gave me my power back every time she spoke those words. That's a true coach and genuinely solid human!"

    Katie, Colorado

  • "I have zero constructive feedback on what could have been different or helped more. I found that everything that transpired during our call was the very thing, most needed to address the issue I brought into our session, and Karissa really met me, exactly where I was—not only with a complete lack of judgment but with personal understanding and helpful tips on how to get unstuck. This sort of validation of my experience and who I am in my struggle, offered me the opportunity to see myself from a positive place of potential action (I should trademark that phrase!). So often, I find myself stuck in paralysis, believing there’s something wrong with me, or the circumstances are impossible, impractical, or wrong. Offering encouragement and straight-forward suggestions, to simply step in a direction—take action—feels like a sort of salvation from my recent confused and muddled paradigm. Karissa saw me and heard me and was able to help me get out of my head and into my life. The experience was/is incredibly empowering. Karissa was deeply generous in spirit— which, for me, seems like the core of what a good coach embodies! Very impressive and motivating! Keep up the good work!"

    Erin, California

  • "I was looking to get back on track with making time for myself, being thankful for non-materialistic items and being healthier in my food choices and exercise. Karissa was starting a 14-day challenge and I thought to myself, this is exactly what I need! I completed the 14-day challenge and have felt so amazing since! Her constant reassurance, positive energy and support really allowed me to follow through with the whole 14 days. Having a friend be so supportive and encouraging gives you total control of accomplishing so much more!! I am forever thankful for this beginning and look forward to continuing on more challenges in the future!"
