Join Sacred Return

What is the one thing that you’ve given up on having? That thing that lights you up and fills you with joy and excitement? The thing that you no longer believe is yours to have. Let me help you find the joy, the peace, the fulfillment today.

Karen Whybrow is a Reiki master teacher, guide and author specialising in nervous system support for women living with grief and emotional overwhelm. After the death of her husband at 39, Karen rebuilt her life using Reiki, cyclical living and grounded emotional regulation practices. What began as personal survival became professional calling.

She now offers 1:1 Reiki sessions, practitioner training and her Sacred Return membership, creating safe spaces where women can soften, regulate and reconnect with themselves.

Karen is the author of One Sacred Life, a memoir exploring grief, resilience and returning to self through nature and the Moon’s rhythms. Based on the Cumbrian coast, her work blends grounded practicality with quiet spiritual depth, offering support for when words aren’t enough.

    To help those who need to see that survival can become something softer and advance my own healing, I have written One Sacred Life. My book is part memoir, part mirror, part map. It is a story of grief, rebuilding and returning to yourself through nature and the Moon’s cycles.

  • Dare I say I have feelings of self-worth and achievement. I now realise I can focus on the job in hand and have discovered it is something I can do and to appreciate doing so.

  • I recently had a session with Karen that proved to be really effective and I took a lot more away from it than I thought possible. Karen made me feel relaxed and comfortable, she has a genuine passion for your wellbeing which is clear when you speak with her. I would highly recommend Karen if you are looking for a Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner with a compassionate attitude who truly cares about her clients.

  • For a couple of years I had reached a point in my life where I no longer knew what my purpose was, where I belonged and where should I direct my energy.  I was in a  low position in my thoughts, feeling lost and confused in many regards. I couldn’t make sense of myself or my professional path.Karen guided me through a deeply revealing process, with the confidence of a gifted RTT therapist! She is the expression of balance between logic and emotions. When you have a session with Karen you just know you are in good hands.  I had amazing results instantly, finding a sense of purpose and inner peace, which I didn't experience for a very long time.

  • Karen helped me loads x the RTT she did for me has meant that I am no longer taking beta blockers and feel less anxious than I have in years. I haven’t had a panic attack either. I watched my husband slowly die over 6 months and the anxiety stayed with me till Karen helped me. She did it via Zoom xx truly amazing and I’m so very grateful xx

  • Before speaking to Karen I felt totally dejected & like a complete failure. I blamed myself for everything & I actually I didn’t want to be here anymore. I’d lost all my confidence and felt the lowest I had ever felt. Karen can only be described as my saviour. Never in my life have I experienced such a transformation like this. If a negative thought now pops up I quickly show it the door. I’ve realised I am good enough, I can do it, I am doing it! Thank you Karen for doing what you do and for changing my life. xx

  • You have lifted this cloud that has hung above my head for decades and I can already see the positive impact this is now having on my mindset and on my business. s here

  • I was struggling to be patient, especially with my daughter. I really enjoyed the session and found it relaxing but also remembered surprising snippets from my childhood that had been locked away. I realised that I do not have to bring my children up in the same way as my parents did with me. It will not be easy to break those habits that have been ingrained since childhood but it is possible. I am working on it! I would definitely recommended RTT for anyone worried about ingrained behaviours or limiting beliefs. Karen makes the sessions very relaxing, not daunting at all and she has a very calming voice! 😃

  • You are worth every penny! I highly recommend working with Karen, her sessions are so powerful! Her energy, her voice carries so much depth during sessions. I’ve had sessions from others, and it isn’t the same. Thank you Karen, what an amazing gift you have. ♥️

  • A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to take part in a Moon Bathing session, run by my super talented and lovely friend Karen from @the_anchor_coaching Karen led a lakeside guided meditation and shared the nicest tea I've ever had (rose and cardamom, in case you're wondering) Karen is launching her Lunar Manifesting Journal this week, and I am absolutely blown away by how much time and effort she has put into the journal and how beautiful it is!

  • I would recommend Karen 1000%! If you’re facing any kind of obstacle in life that just feels insurmountable, or you’re stuck in procrastination or spinning in your business, making no real progress, chances are there’s a subconscious story playing out that’s holding you back — and trust me, working with Karen can set you free! By helping you release and rewrite that story, Karen can help you open to the true power that’s already inside you — and set you on the road to creating everything you dream of! It was like a spa day for my subconscious! My soul felt seen, heard, and thoroughly pampered!
