Hello...I am so pleased that you found your way here.

Thanks for stopping for a moment to let me introduce myself.

My name is Karen Halseth.

My early life experiences did not set me up for an easy or traditional path. The many challenges that I experienced did set me up to be a seeker and to be highly intuitive. For over 35 years I have been following my dream of awakening to my true self, which seemed an illusive and impossible task at times. I found myself traveling all over the world to learn from teachers and visionaries covering a myriad of practical and spiritual topics. All of this while working in management positions in the Medical and Holistic fields, Resort Hotel Operations and finally, my favorite Day Spas. It is only by looking back that I see how beautifully my life was orchestrated to take me to this perfect place...right here...right now. That journey involved a total leap of faith when I left structured employment to begin my own business.

One of the greatest gifts I have received is the ability to conduct channeled readings. In 1996 I was contacted by spirit guides and shown the path I was to follow and how I was to offer this gift to others. Although I did not seek this out I was open to having the highest good show up in my own life, and this was good! I have watched hundreds of people connect to their highest essence, release themselves from old hurts and conditioning, find their true direction, and let go of limiting relationships while enhancing others. I have continued to train and refine the skills that allow me to be a clear and concise channel. I am honored to share Sacred Space with each individual that I work with.

A few years ago I was searching for an avenue to better serve the clients I did readings for. Through a series of synchronicities I was lead to Life Coaching, and it was a perfect fit. Through life coaching, channeled readings and inspirational processes I connect with each individual to help them define life success in their own way. I love to inspire, motivate and assist others in laying a foundation to support their life direction.

My commitment to my own growth and learning infuses my practice with new and cutting edge information and continued enthusiasm. I do not expect more from you than I give of myself. I can attest that I walk my talk.

The Name "Inspired Life Story"

The name represents what we all want: a life filled with inspiration, a story that if written is one we would want to read, and even better could not put down. My passion is to assist you in discovering the pathway to your Inspired Life. I believe that when you are living your life fully, you naturally inspire others to do the same. Change yourself, bring change to others and effect the positive change in the world.

Other Passions: my little dog Bijou, dancing, reading, being in nature, walking on the beach, traveling the world, being inspired, movies, quiet time, surprises, learning, great connections with friends, my family, laughter and experiencing the miracles available in every day.

Now learn more about me through a less traditional introduction:

I was recently pondering  essence  (mine to be exact), when this poem came through me:

The Essence of Me

The hummingbird hovering over a plant receiving the sacred nectar in perfect balance with nature.
     I AM THAT
The stars coming out on a perfectly clear night, each one shining more brightly than the one before.
     I AM THAT
The ocean waves crashing on the beach with power and grace, receding to begin once again.
     I AM THAT
The mother holding her newborn child filled with wonder at the miracle of it all.
     I AM THAT
The friend sitting with an ailing loved one knowing when silence or laughter is the best medicine.
     I AM THAT
The pure joy that arises from deep within then ripples out as laughter.
     I AM THAT
The essence of all that is good...without limitation.
     I AM THAT

Remember this is also the essence of YOU!
