an ordinary psychic

less thinking, more doing

Meet Karen Louise van Kriedt, Spiritual Facilitator

It took some decades for me to understand that the unusual experience I had as a toddler was a near death experience. Perhaps it explains why I've had visions and visitations all of my life. However, connection to spirit did not protect me from human frailty. After spending many years working to fix what was "wrong with me," I realized I already am who I was trying so hard to be. Once I stopped trying, I found I could actually be present in the moment. At this point in life, my goal for each of us is to be empowered to find our own answers and heal ourselves, and that is why I am offering these sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please email me at ordinarypsychic@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Why do you call yourself an ordinary psychic?

I have known many capable and powerful psychics. Most of them had an arrogance I felt was unwarranted. I know that any connection I have to spirit is granted to me by spirit, making me the recipient of a wonderful gift. I am also quite ordinary, fully vulnerable to the challenges and contradictions of the human condition. I am not so arrogant as to believe I can heal someone else, but I am an excellent spiritual facilitator.

What experience do you have as a psychic reader/healer/therapist?

I was born a healer. For instance, in 1958 at nine years old, I healed my father's septic ulcer, one of the more meaningful experiences of the hundreds I have had. As part of my training at the Berkeley Psychic Institute and as the co-founder of a psychic sanctuary, I did hundreds of readings (aura, rose, past life) as well as energy healings for the public. I have also done a number of shamanic journeys for myself and others. During COVID, I offered past life regression therapy over Zoom working with many individuals, each with their own constellation of strengths and weaknesses, needs and desires.

Do you offer remote sessions?

Yes. In fact, I prefer to offer sessions online. When the session has ended, rather than getting in your car and driving away, you can rest in your safe environment and continue to assimilate your experience.

What trainings/certifications do you have?

In 1980, I was taught to read Tarot by a master. In 1986, I graduated from the Berkeley Psychic Institute where I studied with Lewis Bostwick and others. After reading Sandra Ingerman's book on soul retrieval, I became interested in shamanic journeying and, many years later, I trained with various teachers, including from Michael Harner's Foundation for Shamanic Studies. During COVID, I studied with Mark Beale of the Past Life Awakening Institute and became certified as a Hypnotist, Hypnotherapist, Past Life Regression Therapist, and Between Lives Regression Therapist.

What is a past life regression and why would I want one?

I have no idea what a past life is or isn't, but I do know the narrative that surfaces in our session will be meaningful to you. Some people experience great joy at the end of a session, others experience deep relief. Some reclaim their inner child, others find strength during challenging times. I recently realized that I was dramatically overreacting to a situation. When I sat down to explore, I discovered three life times where the horrific outcomes that I feared had actually occurred. I was able to drain the emotional charge from them so that I no longer felt so vulnerable. I love the adventure of a journey. You never know where we'll go or who we'll meet. We enter a journey with no specific plan or goal, other than to receive such gifts as spirit is inclined to offer. I hope you will join me for one.

How do I prepare for a session?

The most important preparation you will need to make is to carve out some private, uninterrupted time. Ideally, an hour and a half. Other than that, you will need a place where you can recline in comfort, for instance on your bed or sofa, propped up with pilllows.

How long is a session?

Sessions take about an hour. I recommend that you give yourself at least another fifteen minutes to a half hour to soak in your new vibe.

What do you charge?

I charge $100 per session. A sliding scale is available upon request.
