About Karen Hasselo, A Certified Spiritual Life Coach
My passion for creating empowerment tools for mothers of special needs children was fueled by my own personal odyssey. In 1994, my beloved and longed for adopted, 21-month toddler, Mark, was diagnosed with autism. Thus began my descent into the “dark night of the soul.” By the time Mark was seven years old, he went on to be diagnosed with childhood bipolar disorder and multiple other health impairments. I have experienced the loss of lifelong friends, my sixteen-year career and my 21-year marriage. I have also lived through the stress of managing a six-year, full-time home therapy program, “fighting the systems”, the crushing weight of outsider’s judgments, financial insecurity, placing my son in a facility when he was 13 years old and severe debilitating chronic illness.
I “lost my way” for at least a decade, while stuck in longstanding grief and bitterness.
As an INFJ with a role as a life path 11, I have been a lifelong seeker. I spent 16 years in the field of clinical social work, specializing with children and teens with complex trauma. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialized with children and adolescents who had labels such as conduct disorders, executive function challenges, learning disabilities, as well as mood disorders. I worked very closely with families, educators, and other concerned professionals in a myriad of settings. During that time, never for a moment did I envision that I would find myself on “the other side of the table” as a mother to a child with autism and mental illness.
In 2007, I began to actively study Spiritual methods for healing. In 2011, I was guided to become a Certified Spiritual Life Coach. I am a graduate of the Holistic Learning Centers, Inc. (HLC) of New Jersey. In addition to my two years of study there, I also completed an additional 19 months of training, as I dove deeper into the teachings of prominent thought leaders, such as Louse Hay, Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra and Gary Zukav. I immersed myself in advanced coaching practices in order to offer my clients the best version of myself.
As a Certified Spiritual Master Teacher and Life Coach, I have experienced the undeniable value of these healing exercises myself. I have been guided to offer core tools that are highly impactful, in order to bring about permanent results in the shortest time possible. These tools take you way beyond intellectual understanding and into palpable results for yourself and your family.
I feel blessed and privileged to serve as a conduit of Universal Love, on behalf of our Sisterhood. All of my life experiences, including a lengthy career devoted to working with special needs children; ushering my own special needs son through all the developmental phases into adulthood; and working as a Certified Spiritual Life Coach, have dovetailed together to allow me to be in a unique position to benefit our Sisterhood.
