About Kara

Kara Tremain, MBA, ACC, believes in the body's natural ability to heal and grow the nervous system and psyche under the right conditions and support. Somatic Experiencing, which is the foundation of her work, helps people find safety and trust in their bodies. She works to create connections to a person's life force while building their capacity to be with less desirable feelings and allow the natural release of energies that the body has harbored for a long time. With those energies and patterns released, there is more access to the true self without conditioned, protective responses. She combines this bottom-up approach with energy work for trauma and stress relief, growth and development, and psychedelic integration. 

Kara spent the first 25 years of her career in health care leadership and consulting before transitioning to coaching. She's an ICF-certified coach with training in Somatic Experiencing, psychedelic-assisted therapy, craniosacral therapy and other energy resolution modalities.

Testimonials

  • Kara is an insightful and curious coach. She cares deeply about her clients and asks the questions that help you discover things about yourself, promoting healing and growth. She has been instrumental in learning to trust my body and myself. I now have the tools to manage and understand the impacts of PTSD. Kara is love and light and she brings that spirit to her work and her clients.

  • Kara is an AMAZING practitioner. The breadth of her knowledge is vast and she continuously comes to sessions with new creative/innovative ideas, new knowledge and safety always comes first. She makes you feel as though you are her only client. The time she spends creating safety in the body before moving along, or even taking a step back if necessary, has helped me get in tune with the landscape of my body and nervous system, as well as noticing the messages they are sending. I have had nothing but insightful, well thought out and soothing sessions. I highly recommend Kara as she has been instrumental in my healing journey. 

  • Since working with Kara, my understanding of the way in which my body and mind react  from trauma has exponentially thrust me towards peace. As a practitioner, Kara has a way of subtly nudging my nervous system in just the right direction, to where I solve the puzzle  with her in unison, and even on my own:  A most gratifying accomplishment after years of personal torment. Kara inspires the glee that comes from the thought of an emotional pain-less life, of which I never thought possible. Our sessions are a pleasure in the way that I am now encouraged to appreciate the complications of my brain and heart and marry them to a dance of mutual respect. My system has calmed, my sleep is sound and best of all, my understanding of the behavior of others now starts with empathy and cummunion, without sacrificing my boundaries. Kara is my true blessing. 

  • I know from personal experience, how much freeing emotions and old ways of being in our body can bring about profound change. Kara is someone who can go deep. Her experience and ability to navigate difficult situations head on is clearly present and part of why she is a tremendous SE coach/guide/space holder. She has helped me release stuck energy in my body and increase my awareness to gain more control over what stays in my body and what I need to move out. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s tremendously powerful work that impacts all aspects of my life.

  • Working with Kara has been a godsend. She has helped me work through childhood traumas that impacted so many aspects of my life. I was full of stress, anxiety, worry and was having all kinds of physical symptoms as well when I started working with Kara. I had hit an emotional and physical wall. My mind and body needed to find a better way to deal with life. Kara helped me see my reactions to stressors, understand events in my life that led to these reactions, and showed me healthier ways to process information and respond with less anxiety. Thanks to my work with Kara, I feel like I am now so much better able to deal with life in an emotionally healthier way.

    Kara is knowledgeable, relatable, intuitive, holistic, realistic, compassionate and her techniques are effective. I can’t say enough good things. I am so thankful a friend suggested I make an appointment.
