Welcome to Numinous Healing LA, an oasis of holistic therapy intended to inspire deep personal growth and healing. At the helm of this healing sanctuary is Karen Baker, a seasoned holistic psychotherapist, and Rosen Method bodywork practitioner. Karen caters to healing needs both on a virtual platform for residents of California as well as providing in-person therapy sessions in the peaceful environs of O’ahu, Hawaii. Delving beyond the confines of 'traditional talk therapy', Karen’s approach encompasses a myriad of therapeutic techniques. These include talk therapy, expressive arts, movement, meditation, and bodywork, each skillfully curated to match the individual's preferences, goals, and comfort levels. She is dedicated to aiding adults and couples to overcome past traumas, foster stronger connections, and reconnect with lost parts of themselves.
Numinous Healing LA reflects the essence of the term 'numinous', drawing inspiration from its Latin origin 'numinosum', meaning a significant force or impact autonomous from the conscious mind. Karen embodies that powerful force, expertly guiding individuals to draw strength from their deepest emotions and experiences, illuminating the wisdom hidden within. Over the last two decades, Karen has helped individuals reveal and harness their potential, witnessing first-hand the resilience, determination, and creativity that humans possess. Her extensive experience stems from her work with vulnerable groups such as foster children, adolescents facing substance abuse, and women victims of domestic violence. As a professional dedicated to continuous learning and personal evolution, Karen incorporates her experiences from practicing yoga, meditation, bodywork, psychotherapy, and engaging in non-ordinary states of consciousness into her therapeutic approach. To create an open, empathetic space, Karen actively encourages dialogues on race, gender, sexuality, and social factors that impact mental health, fostering a deeper understanding of the individual's unique identity that extends beyond the therapy session.
