About Remmawii (Karuna) Kristjanson

🌿 About Me

I am a seasoned holistic psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience supporting individuals on their healing journeys. My life has been shaped by rich cross-cultural experiences—growing up in the indigenous community of Mizoram, India, later living in Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Saskatoon), and now rooted in the United States. This multicultural background allows me to meet each person with cultural sensitivity, openness, and deep respect for their unique life story.

My work is informed by both extensive western psychological training and eastern spiritual practices. While traditional talk therapy can be valuable, I believe lasting healing often involves engaging the body as well as the mind. As a certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher and Reiki Master, I integrate somatic and mindfulness-based practices such as breathwork, yoga, guided meditation, journaling, movement, and mindfulness into my work. These approaches can help regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and support emotional balance, resilience, and self-awareness.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, addiction, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach encourages clients to reconnect with themselves, explore their spiritual path, and cultivate more meaningful connections with others.

I strive to create a compassionate, grounded, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. Together, we will tailor a path that honors your unique needs, values, and goals.
Taking the first step toward healing and a more fulfilling life requires courage. I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.
