About Karen

My name is Karen Eva Silberstein. Animals, especially horses, have been a great source of companionship, personal confirmation, and healing for me since I was very young. Their honest simplicity of reciprocation provides a mirror that invites self-reflection, encourages creative expression, and gives non-judgmental solace in times of need. Animals easily and naturally tune into our energy, and we can learn to tune into theirs.

I was three years old the first time I was put on a pony. I urged it into a gallop, to the surprise of my parents and the other adults who were present. It was familiar experience, life-affirming, freeing, and joyful. From that time on, horses and the equestrian arts became a focal point in my life.

By the age of twelve, I was working with horses that many adults were hesitant to approach. Famous equestrians of the time, William Steinkraus, Frank and Mary Chapot, and the wild Rodney Jenkins, were inspirational to me as I matured. I learned, evolved, and eventually trained hunter, jumper and dressage.

Between the ages of 29 and 33, I survived a series of traumatic assaults. These experiences destroyed my health and changed the course of my life. The difficult recovery process led me to explore many different healing modalities. I studied various forms of energy work, emotional release and integration techniques, iridology, sclerology, herbalism, and various other facets of naturopathy. These skills, combined with a life-long pursuit of spirituality, and a natural psychic sensitivity that even allowed me to know from footprints on a beach what someone had eaten for lunch, invited my ability to connect with animals, the earth, and humans to transform to a whole new level.

I had stepped out of the world of horses for thirty years. At the age of 60, I stepped back in, but with a unique, new set of skills and awarenesses that would not have been possible if I had simply remained in the training and show circuit.

I have been facilitating energy healing work with humans since 1991. I can also support you in developing a powerful, unique, and mutually transformational relationship with your animal. The results are deeply rewarding and satisfying. I can also teach you to hear your animal on a level you may not currently think is possible.
