Womben who know that while going deep can bring its share of intensity, it can also be full of delightful surprise, humor, and pleasure.

Karina fulfilled a wisdom that I never knew existed... Her 4-month cycle in the sacred sister womb of Obsidian wisdom accompanied with her portal of information and tools was next level. Her course was brilliant and taught me ancient secrets, codes and tools I will forever hold in my bones. Everything was so well delivered and thoughtful. I especially love her YouTube video : Molten Roots: Unlocking the Ancient Volcano Code. This video is so incredible...I cannot put words to it- it is a must-see. Karina's volcanic knowledge and how she connects it to ancient Earth wisdom is what I find the most incredible. There are so many codes and deep divine messages that lie within our Mother Earth and it is people like Karina and Ayah who have listened carefully to their own callings to bring these tools forward to humanity. I am so grateful for you.. so much love and respect to you, Karina!

Karina holds deep wisdom and divine reverence for the Obsidian egg yoni embodiment work. She has traversed the depths that it holds for each and every vulva owner herself and brings that forward in her teaching.  She exudes sweet and loving energy and offers the medicine she has curated and gathered with much integrity and respect. If Obsidan egg work calls to your heart, then do not hesitate to study with Karina.

Dr. Willow Brown, Jade egg facilitator

Karina is truly one-of-a-kind!  She created a safe, warm, light filled space for me to share and embrace all that is throughout my journey.  I was part of an intimate container where I felt heard, understood, and supported.  With her guidance things definitely shifted throughout our time working together and I’m grateful to have met such a radiant and divine human who is doing the deep work herself and helping others to do the same.

I would absolutely recommend this course. It's literally changed my life. I liked the call structure, it was the perfect amount of time, and the course was full of practices and meditations that I loved. I have so much respect for that little egg! It's so powerful - how it changed my cycle and the things that have come up for me... It really feels like it's absorbing or cleansing from the inside out. Within the first week, I started having intense dreams and visions.. and then within two months, memories I'd been seeking my whole life came back in. Karina is so supportive, a good listener and space holder - not everyone can really hold the space like that for women going through these things. For me, it's the most healing work I've done - it's like you do 10 years of therapy and meditations, and then you do the obsidian work. And in a couple of months, in my experience, I just got all these answers. It's been both intense and so healing."

Azul Abelenda

The investment is more than worth it, the way it will change your life and is mysterious, profound and more than you can anticipate. I was interested in the work for a long time and it finally felt right. I mostly was interested in connecting with my womb space more deeply and clearing any old trauma I was holding there. I experienced a profound shift that I'm still integrating. I had a huge breakthrough/healing with my father that shifted a baseline story that I didn't know I was carrying. This shift has literally changed my life, because it changed my relationship to myself and everyone else in my life. Karina is great, she's fierce and gentle at the same time and really embodies the information she is teaching. I absolutely love how much she knows about volcanoes and the center of the earth, its like she was made to carry and work with obsidian. I'm so grateful to have received these teachings. ~

This was the feminine component of shadow work I’d been needing for quite some time. I feel like I had access to more masculine aspects of undergoing shadow work all my life and this was the piece I was needing to fully go as deeply as my soul was requiring of me. I loved everything about this work. I love being so in tune with my yoni and my uterus. I love the revelations she gave me in dreams and waking life. I love the sensuality of it. It really requires you to become so intuitive and honoring of your body and I’ve been so caring to my body since this work. I wanted to regain my sovereignty and having someone there to not only lead me, but be a beautiful example for me was key. I also was searching desperately for a partner before this work- with a sense of urgency that I didn’t realize was linked to unworthiness. Four months later I am resting beautifully in the understanding that I am the magnet, that I am my own romance, and that those who are worthy of me will find me. I absolutely loved working with the egg, I loved having a small group of women to relate to, and I loved the one - on - one offerings! Karina is such a beautiful maestra. I could not have manifested a more aligned guide to walk with me!

Sky Taylor-LaHood

Who am I....

It's a question you probably have...

 

Firstly, I offer my deepest bows of respect to my many maestras and teachers to whom I stay accountable. It's an honor to carry forth practices rooted in lineages, a responsibility I do not take lightly. To be accountable to the spirit of Obsidian itself, is to be accountable to the life force of the planet, the volcanic heart who whispers her secrets in sacred ways. Again and again I am humbled, I learn, I am always a student in these ways.

 

I believe that when we incarnate we carry a soul blueprint that is overlain with the DNA imprint of our parents. My people by blood are of German-Italian, Scandinavian, Irish, and Native American (T'Slagi) heritages. My soul imprint goes to the heart of the planet, who long ago sparked my lifelong love of volcanoes and quest to heal. For so many decades I've been talking to the spirit of volcanoes, and always, surprisingly at first, getting an answer! The rumbling whispers of my soul remembering something is what brought me to the doorsteps of Obsidian, who immediately began speaking.

 

The Obsidian Yoni Egg first found me in 2015, in a powerful and synchronistic way. However, after some initial potent experiences, all I knew was that it was a powerful activator of sexual energy and insight into traumas. I was intimidated by it and didn't do much with it for years, because I didn't know how to work with it.

Another 4 years passed before I discovered there is a sacred practice and many deeper teachings encoded into the specific geology and geometry of the Obsidian Egg. The protocol we follow can be found in the book entitled Osiris by Ana Silvia Serrano (in Spanish), and is a technology and methodology for healing the womb and coming back into balance, sovereignty and empowerment as women. When the protocol is met with the embodied work of unwinding generational traumas and actually creating a life that looks and feels different ~ those are the somatic and spiritual tools that help anchor the process.

 

The first night I worked with my egg under the guidance of my mentor, Ayah Buonaugurio, the ancestors came to me and said it was my dharma to carry and teach this work, that it was important, that it was the missing key I needed to synthesize all these other pieces I was putting together. I said Yes and never looked back. To work with Obsidian requires the deepest integrity, I quickly learned, it truly is a teacher in so many ways. I told Ayah I would do whatever it was to learn, carry and teach this work in a good way, and with her distinctly fierce yet loving style, she guided me through the gates for the next 3 years. I've now been 5 years as a Moondancer in the Danza de la Luna in the Mexica Ollintlahuimetzli tradition, the Obsidian Mystery School, which has sincerely changed my life in so many ways. Every year, I shed a skin like a snake and see so many prayers answered in the most unexpected ways. This is deeply sacred work, and I strive to always tend and facilitate it with reverence and respect.

 

I received the blessing and began facilitating a small group at the end of 2021, which led to much of the content of the course portal. The structure of this particular program channeled through me at the end of 2022 as a result of a powerful prayer to serve Obsidian and the work of empowering the re-membering of the Divine Feminine on the planet. Like a waterfall after the Danza that fall, this course poured forth, and a few short weeks later with the new year of 2023, the first Pod arrived.

 

The Molten Roots Mastermind is a sacred chalice and meeting place for the methodologies I've been trained and blessed in, my own hard-earned wisdom, and the science I've studied for so long. We dive into sacred sexuality teachings, dream work, parts work, shadow alchemy, Obsidian wisdom, Womb and Moon wisdom, Earth and Volcano wisdom, Tantric practices, ritual, meditations, epigenetics and more. It's important to me to always acknowledge the source of what we are working with. It's also important to me to be in sacred reciprocity and service within the lineages I carry, so a portion of your course fee goes back to support the communities at the heart of these teachings.

Consciously working with this stone has changed my life, unlocking profound insights and healing on many levels that I had been struggling with for decades. So much continues to get freed up and moved out by tapping into the wisdom of my womb.

 

I've also witnessed many other womben experience their own transformations and breakthroughs.

 

Mysteries of the universe and of your soul are reflected through this 'vibration therapy' and soul attunement.

 

It's a deep honor to share this powerful work and empower womben in healing.

Seeing and honoring you in the work, Dear Soul, and the path that brought you to the doorsteps of Obsidian.

 

 

May all beings be free, happy, and whole

 

Ōmeteōtl!

"Working with the obsidian yoni egg has changed my life. It calls to the surface our deepest wounds, and in a supportive context allows us to look at and transform the energies stored and storied there. This is powerful and necessary work for any wombxn wanting to expand, breaking the bondages of personal and generational trauma. Obsidian meets you where you're at and shows you a more authentic life and way of self expression. It asks you to show up and surrender to your own magic.

 

I’ve spent the last 1.5 years working and learning with Karina. She is sensitive, insightful, and intimately tuned to the rhythms of the Earth. This is reflected in her practice, through her deep listening and intuitive guidance. I appreciate the way she combines her background in the scientific realm with her many years of study and experienced esoteric practices. This helped ground in the reality and integrity of my experiences with obsidian. I love her enthusiasm for this sacred ancient technology and would recommend her to anyone who hears the call."

Karina’s warm heart, her authenticity, ability to listen, and her deep wisdom, will guide you on this journey to recover parts of yourself and assist in reshaping the way you move in the world from the inside out.

This 4-month journey is guided by a Moonwise spiral in the Medicine Wheel 

~the sacred Hoop of Life, beginning and ending in the East - a place of beginnings~

 

The counter-clockwise direction supports us in going within to retrieve the codes, insights, and healing needed to expand joyfully out into the grounded reality of our visions and dreams. Working with energy in this way attunes us with Feminine wisdom needed to unravel the layers of conditioning "The Patriarchy" has imparted upon each and every one of us.

THIS CONTAINER IS NOT:

 

Always going to be comfortable. Although I strive to hold a safe space - non-judgemental and rooted in unconditional Love - the nature of this work is uncomfortable. But that is where the growth happens :) especially when you meet it with pleasure!
 

For those who want to stay on the surface. You may discover new edges and feel intense emotions at times. Cultivating a greater capacity to BE with these feelings is how you transform them. That is what we’re doing here.
 

Group therapy. It’s not a place to vent your troubles without being willing to do the inner work. I am not a therapist, though this is a space with tools and community to find safety in doing the deep emotional work. There’s also a sacred balance to what a space can hold and what you are learning to hold within yourself. If you find yourself needing more support, I offer 1:1 sessions at a discounted rate (one session is included).
 

A place to find healing after acute trauma. This is a place to integrate old wounds that your system is able to feel some distance from and regulate within. If you can’t do that yet, I can help you connect with support that can help.
 

Going to give you “answers” or enlightenment. If you are seeking a guru or a neatly packaged outcome of total healing in 3 months - this is not your place. However, this is a place to help you ask new questions, unpack, and explore your subconscious world and driving forces. Foundational to this Mastermind is a system that assists you in finding your own connection to your own Truth.
 

A place focused on "fixing" you. The innately whole being you already are is seen and loved here!
 

Somewhere to dip your toes into. This is a deeply-held container that asks you to show up for it – because in doing so you are showing up for yourself! It is a place that will hold you with the fierce love of fire and water in accountability to your desires and intentions. It is not for everyone. But if you have made it this far, perhaps it is for you! 

THIS CONTAINER IS:

 

High-level support for your healing journey within a group field. Each small POD creates a “living grid” - holding and amplifying individual and shared intentions.
 

A place where woman-centric language is used. If this does not fit your identity, I invite you to substitute words that do. You are welcome here.
 

A place to practice your attunement within spaces and cultivate greater awareness of how you interact with places and individuals. We see ourselves more clearly through our energetic dances with others!
 

A place of radical self-acknowledgement, self-love, and self-responsibility. This is a place to own (and get curious about!) your projections, fears, judgements, and triggers. It’s a place grounded in mutual respect and sovereignty that values inner attunement and outward compassion.
 

Intended to be a resource and support, a place to learn and grow, share dreams and insights, celebrate breakthroughs and find witnessing through challenges. This is a place to connect with and be seen in your desires, your pleasure, and your power.
 

Somewhere all of you is invited. "Mistakes" are welcome, growth is prized!

Both a journey and an initiation. Obsidian is a powerful mirror of subconscious shadows and patterns. It invites profound self-reflection and subsequent aligned action, which anchors new neural pathways into empowered ways of being. And then it supports bringing those new choices into the body and into reality. This is a journey of somatic transformation guided by profound Earth wisdom for the courageous who hear the call!

FAQs

How is Obsidian different from other yoni egg stones?

The three most traditional crystals used for yoni eggs are obsidian, jade, and rose quartz. Any non-porous, non-chipped yoni stone is safe to use and will help strengthen pelvic floor muscles, awaken sexual energy, and bring healing to the womb space. 

 

Obsidian is unique in that it is coded for shadow work. It is the yoni egg to work with when you want to go deep, when you're really ready to make space and time for ancestral-level healing of old traumas, outdated programming, and bygone relationships. It carries the energy of the "Dark Goddess" - the Fierce Mother archetype of the Divine Feminine who sometimes brings tough love because she wants to see you succeed and thrive. Ancient (and modern) cultures that discovered the power of Obsidian revered it for these reasons.

Shadow work with pleasure practices? I'm intrigued...

Revolutionary, right!? I'm a firm believer that the way through is through! We can't bypass our dark places of shame, fear, guilt, anger, and sorrow. The heavy emotions and residual traumas of our past live in our bodies - and if we don't acknowledge and heal them, they run the show from our subconscious, keeping our systems triggered and reactionary. This is the realm of the Dark Goddess, who helps us cut away energies that no longer serve in order to fully thrive.

 

I've learned that the way to transform these shadowy places is through conscious intent and compassionate communication. Only then can they be released from our physical bodies, relieving us of pain, heaviness, and patterns that contribute to poor health. When we bring love and pleasure into the process of meeting our shadows, it becomes a journey that unlocks our deepest ecstatic states, self-love, and inner wisdom - helping us literally change our DNA to support a life of greater thriving and connection.

 

Obsidian is a unique tool to help in this journey, working with the Earth communication systems and the collective unconscious (the Dreamtime) to bring subconscious shadows to light - to be witnessed and integrated. To be whole is to be Sovereign! And to be Sovereign is to be at peace, to be in choice, and to live in a state of daily bliss, no matter the external circumstances. I'm personally all in for that, and love empowering others all in as well.

.... But isn't Obsidian really just a stone? 

I very much understand and honor this question. Skepticism is so important! I'm a scientist, first and foremost, and value experiencing things myself to find my own truth. I've also been awakened to the incredible healing powers and conscious intelligence of Nature, which has changed my life in so many beautiful ways. 

 

Obsidian is actually not really a "stone" and it's also not really a crystal. It's completely unique in the world of geology as the only naturally occurring glass from the planet's own processes. A glass with magnetic properties, basically frozen magma with the vibrational signature of Inner Earth - Obsidian has a long-lived reputation for being able to absorb and transmute dense energies in a powerful way. I have personally found this to be true and have witnessed it work this way with others as well.

 

I've come to understand Obsidian as being a tool for accessing and communicating with the greater-than-human intelligence embodied by Planet Earth, Mama Gaia. Learning to attune with Obsidian is learning to open our listening receptors in a deeper way. Similar to how plant medicines can alter our consciousness and communicate with us through their unique intelligence. I would even say that to journey intentionally with the Obsidian Egg is akin to a low-grade, prolonged medicine journey like Ayahuasca or Psilocybin. Although it has not been proven, I believe it activates similar neural channels to expand our consciousness and helps accelerate our healing from addictions, depression, and sabotage patterns, while bringing pleasure, joy, and trust in the process. 

 

This is the reason I capitalize Obsidian, because it truly has a divine essence, intelligence, and coding of its own.

 

... I also feel it's important to say that as with anything - don't give your power to the Obsidian. Or to any tool or intelligence you work with. These are tools and allies, not gods and saviors. Their function is to help us remember our own Power, to reclaim lost pieces of our Soul so we can live and thrive in the way we are meant to, open to new possibilities and new dimensions of love and joy. YOU are the Power. How you unlock it - that is your unique path and your unique work!

 

Obsidian can be an amazing ally in this journey, but it's not the only one, and it's not for everyone. Which leads us to the next question....

How do I know if it's the right time for me to work with the Obsidian Yoni Egg?

I believe this work finds us when we are ready for it. Perhaps suddenly you're seeing Obsidian Eggs everywhere or keep hearing about them and now have a curiosity in your heart. Perhaps you've had an Obsidian Egg for awhile but were a little intimidated to use it, or didn't know where to start. Some women have dreams of the Obsidian Egg before working with it. Others just know intuitively that they will benefit from this practice.

 

It tends to find us when our inner volcanoes are rumbling, perhaps ready for eruption (in the best way!). Or when there are things in our life that have reached a head, when change is knocking on our door.... Although these may not be the easiest times to commit to a new practice, it is exactly that commitment that can carry us through victoriously to the other side, rising like the Phoenix!

 

Alternatively, some women are very clear they are NOT called to work with Obsidian. As it is magnetic, it either repels you or attracts you.

 

If you feel a pull, an inner Yes, maybe even a little trepidation or a flutter in your stomach - that is a good sign that your Underworlds are calling you to journey with them in a sacred way. Know that you are protected, you are guided, you are loved, and you are safe to explore these realms as you follow the cookie crumbs of inspiration and intuition. The fears will melt away as your courage rises and over time the shadowed places won't feel so scary.

Will Obsidian be too much for me to handle?

This is a very understandable question I get asked a lot. I believe that if you are being called to the Obsidian Yoni Egg, you will feel it.... and if it is calling you, you are ready. Getting out of our comfort zone is such an important part of growth. And being held in a sacred and supportive way as we navigate our edges makes the growth process so juicy and nourishing and heart-opening. Integration, dream work, ritual, and ceremony are a big part of this work for these reasons - to consistently ground in new insights and continue teaching our system to expand into greater capacities of safety as we write and live new stories.

 

This practice can be too much if you are navigating an acute recent trauma or your mental health is unstable (see contraindications, below), which is why I start with an intake application and a call with you to determine together if this is the right time and the right practice for you.

 

As a disclaimer - I am not a doctor or a therapist - and while there are not scientific studies that prove the efficacy of the Obsidian Egg, there are countless anecdotal tales as well as science-based harmonizing practices that support the transformations it provides. I hold my containers in a sacred way informed by years of training to encourage deep explorations while simultaneously supporting the nervous system. We can only expand to the capacity we have cultivated.

Is this culturally appropriate for me to do?

I am so happy you asked this question. It's so important and I'm glad more people are having these conversations.

 

This container is a meeting place of so many things. It's everything I've been initiated into and my work as a volcanologist that I feel able to distill and share with you. It's informed and inspired and shaped by various lineages and studies and my own personal healing and awakening journey. And, this container wouldn't be what it is without the wise and generous hearts of my mentors and teachers, so I am grateful to be able to honor them.

The protocol we follow is grounded in Mexica (Aztec) matriarchal lineages, and can be found in the book Osiris written by Ana Silvia Serrano (in Spanish only), an amazing teacher of all things Obsidian. It is a lunar practice that connects us to the supportive Feminine aspects of the moon. There are many, many layers to this practice - we only move through the first few. Simply, the protocol itself is a cyclic use of the egg that is designed to activate the technology of Obsidian in order to support your intention for the journey, nestled within the greater collective of women doing the work of re-membering and healing from the global intrusion of what we call "the patriarchy" - toxic aspects of both Masculine and Feminine that spin endless spirals of fear, violence, disconnection, chaos and confusion.


There are much, much deeper teachings about Obsidian that are not covered in this course, and many I am NOT yet initiated into through lineages around the world from Mexica to Kemet. Everything I share with you about aspects of the Original Geology (O.G) ~ the science and technology of Obsidian and how it plugs us into a greater holistic, intelligent Earth system, that is itself plugged into a greater cosmic system ~ the Dark Goddess, quantum communications, Earth's memory fields, holographic ancestral healing, psychic activations, Volcano cycles, and more ~ all of these are understandings that have come through my own channel and life path. The majority of this course, and what you will hear about Obsidian comes to and through me directly, as the result of 25 years walking the path of understanding Inner Earth from multidimensional perspectives as a volcano scientist and lightning initiate, on the healing path for decades. I will always be clear when I am sharing something that comes to me via other channels / lineages / teachers.


The lineage of this particular Obsidian Egg practice came to me via Ayah Buonaugurio and her Obsidian Womb programs. The protocol itself was formally blessed to me to share as a powerful and sacred tool held within a larger understanding of the work, and passed to me within the lineage of Ollintlahuimetzli, of Mexica (Aztec) origin. I worked with Ayah from 2020 until her tragic, sudden passing in 2023 - all of it a truly initiatory experience that opened vaults of codes within my being. The Obsidian Egg was also part of the codes Ayah carried, receiving her blessing to transmit this work from Abuela Malinalli, who crossed over in 2020, grandmother of the Ollintlahuimetzli Danza de la Luna (Moondance). I have made my own commitment to this lineage; this will be my 6th year as a Moondancer.

 

Honoring Ayah and Abuela Malinalli and all of their amazing wellsprings of medicine, as the ancestors to this container who continue to guide this work! We are truly blessed in this container to be held in a bigger container of support and guidance - a profound lineage with teachers in both physical and spiritual realms.


The bigger toolbox we are tapping into within this course includes somatic shadow work practices, ritual suggestions, journal prompts, and pleasure practices that are inspired by both my own healing journey, as well as by other trainings, including Layla Martin's VITA-methodology for coaching (love, sex, and relationship), which integrates tantra theory with embodied parts work to create a holistic healing framework for trauma, disconnection, and struggle.

 

To read more about my reflections on lineage and cultural appropriateness, please read my blog on Medium:

 

 

Can I follow the protocol on my own without being part of a group?

Absolutely! The beauty of working with Obsidian is that it will meet you exactly where you're at and you don't need anything but your own desire and commitment and willingness to listen deeply and look at what comes forth. 

 

I offer "DIY" packages starting at $222 to get you started with the Protocol, including an Egg, 1:1 Activation Call and a Moonwise tracking calendar. This is everything you need to begin both amplifying your pleasure circuits and journeying to the roots of your individual traumas and suffering to heal them at the source - and from there, building the foundation for the life you truly desire to live!

 

Because working with the Obsidian Egg can bring things up, I recommend having support people on hand if needed - therapists, counselors, etc. I've personally paired intentional Obsidian Egg work with EMDR, Family Constellations, and Internal Family Systems with great success. Deep self-compassion, regular movement, cleansing the digestive system and regular body work are all supportive to this process, to help move old, stuck energy out of the system: massage, acupuncture, fascia release, lymph system tune-ups, whatever your intuition is letting you know you need. 

 

AND - I've also found that Obsidian likes to work within the shared resonance field of a group, as it is a calibrator to a shared collective consciousness. I feel having the support and guidance of an experienced, trauma-informed container allows for an accelerated process that is also much easier on the nervous system than going about it on our own (I have done both!). I've found it is possible to co-regulate within a shared field united in a common focus and intention, which strengthens the healing process and tangibility of quantum leaps.

What kind of time commitment will this be? 

There is some time commitment involved with the Obsidian Egg practice, I won't lie! Transformation requires "non-busy" time and new sensory input - which allows for new neural pathways to form. The egg practice itself involves 15-30 minutes each evening. I also highly encourage to adopt a morning dream journal practice. 

 

Other meditations, teachings, and journal exercises will be available to you over the course of each month to assist you in deepening into your personal intention, as you have the space. As with anything, you get out of it what you put into it! The more time you make available to your healing, the faster it will meet you :) Especially when Obsidian is involved! However, this is not intended to be a linear, check-all-the-boxes course. Work with what speaks to you and leave the rest.

 

You will have access to the entire course portal for another 3 months after the container closes if you want to go back through the journey on your own and work with things you skipped. There are also options for longer initiations with the Obsidian Egg if the work deeply speaks to you!

What can I expect after filling out an application?

Great question! And firstly, congratulations on taking the first step toward a relationship with the Obsidian Yoni Egg! I'm so passionate about this work and look forward to connecting with you about it.

 

After you fill out an application, my team will send you an email within 48 hours. You'll also receive a link to my calendar so you can book a complimentary 30-minute call with me, as well as a payment link to secure your spot if you know this is right for you! 

 

Once your spot has been secured, you can expect to see a welcome email with information about our first call on or around the Full Moon, and access to the Course Portal where you will find a mini-course on the Power of Obsidian, the full Protocol, and a downloadable Tracking Calendar, among other resources, so you can dive right in. This is also where all our monthly meditations, practices, and resources are uploaded. You will also receive an invitation to a private Facebook Group for current and past Obsidian Egg practitioners. And lastly, you'll receive an invitation to a private Voxxer channel for your small Journey Pod. 

 

Your hand-selected egg will arrive in time for the New Moon, which is when the protocol officially begins. We'll meet live as a small Journey Pod each New Moon for a chance to learn, connect, and journey. The monthly call recording links will be sent to you via Dropbox.

How long will I have access to the course portal and materials?

Because the nature of this container (and also to encourage you to actually work through the material!), the course portal and materials will only be available for 3 months beyond the time that you are in the course. 

 

This course is not meant to be something you purchase with the intention of "getting to one day" - this is a deeply held and activated container to support you in breaking through NOW into the life you desire! This is why I offer a small group journey beginning each month - so that when the Obsidian calls you and you are ready to do the work and launch into a new level of thriving - this support is here for you. I encourage you to sign up only when you have the spaciousness, commitment, and desire to follow through, holding your intention with a daily sacred practice. 

 

At the end of the 4-months, there will also be special options if you'd like to continue on a month-to-month basis. 

When are the calls?

Part of our first communications together will be about finding times for our calls that work for our small Journey Pod. Everyone has different schedules and a 2+-hour chunk of time can be a challenge to agree on - evenings, weekends, afternoons are all possibilities. I encourage you to prioritize the live calls together because that's where the magic really comes together and any absence is felt by the group. However, I also understand that life happens and sometimes it just doesn't work out! if you're not able to make a call, it's all good - you will be missed and a recording will be available :)

​​​​​​What are the contraindications?

It is not recommended to work with the Obsidian Yoni Egg if:

 

- you have an IUD or use hormonal birth control

- you're recovering from a recent surgery 

- you are pregnant or breastfeeding

- you've had a recent, acute trauma

- your mental health feels unstable

 

If you feel called to this work and have a contraindication, I invite you to still reach out to me - I'd love to help you find the support you are seeking.

Is this recommended if I have pelvic pain / endometriosis / fibroids?

The Obsidian Egg can help with all disturbances of the womb - on physical, emotional, and spiritual planes. If pain is present, the Obsidian Egg can definitely help - but it also may temporarily make the pain worse. Always listen to your body and intuition when using any kind of yoni egg. There are other options to continue the protocol and still receive the benefits of the Obsidian Egg if it is too much to use the egg internally. 

 

I have personally healed myself of endometriosis, fibroids, uterine cysts, and low progesterone in the 3 years I have been consistently working with the Obsidian Egg! It does help.Although healing is a journey, you will very likely experience improvements even in the 3 months of this journey.

I already have a yoni egg, is it ok to use for this journey?

As long as your egg is made from genuine Obsidian and is not chipped or cracked, it is fine to use. This protocol does not apply to any other kind of stone - jade, rose quartz, or other glass. It is only for Obsidian. If you already have your egg, I do offer a small discount off the course price.

What are the payment options?

When you reserve your spot, you can choose to pay in full or you can choose a 4-month payment plan. I also have scholarships available for those who feel deeply called but have financial challenges. If this is you, please fill out an application and book a call with me to discuss the options! It is important to me that this work is available to those who feel strongly called to it, regardless of financial situation.

Do you offer refunds?

I do not offer refunds for this course. However, if you discover this is NOT the right time for you to do this work after you have made an initial payment, your deposit will be transferred to a 3-month window when you have more availability. 

 

Also, I deeply desire for you to feel that this course and this work has served you and that it works for you. If you start and find it just isn't for you and you feel that with your heart, I want to support you in that truth. In this rare case, let's talk about it / scheduled payments may be cancelled.

"The Obsidian Yoni Egg has helped me with so many things; helping me clear residual bloodline karma as well as past life karma, detoxify my body, and purge outmoded beliefs and emotions that do not serve me. Setting intentions with Karina, and having her support ... made a world of difference for me. Chronic lack of libido... is what brought me to Karina. I was intuitively aware that this work was key to my liberation. I was also feeling a real lack of vitality overall, as well as terrible hormonal problems... As long as one has all the support in place that one requires,  there is no better time than the present. After 6 months working with the egg, I feel like I've reclaimed a lot of my life force. And, the relationship is a lot stronger between my husband and me now, on multiple levels, as a result of going through this process. My libido has increased and sex isn’t painful anymore. My hormones feel more balanced, my sleep is improved, and my emotions feel more stable. I cleared a lot of really old stuff. As a coach, Karina has a kind of impeccability. She has an excellent way of creating safe, neutral space."

Rachel Samuels

“Be brave and give it a try! You can work with it at the level that you're comfortable. But be brave because when you step outside of your comfort zone, that's where life begins… It is and isn't about the egg itself. My experience was very enjoyable and very mysterious on some levels because I felt like I was dealing with some of the unknowns and some of the darker things. Not dark as in dark, but the hidden things.

 

This course has been a real lifeline for me. And has really encouraged me to do my own personal work. Regular accountability and knowing that there is an opportunity to share with other women who have like-mindedness and want to go above and beyond where we are in life was just a really great thing for me. I think this course is helping us with self-reliance; we can get the information from this class, but then we need to internalize it and truly make it our own and personalize it so that it is truly, genuinely integrated from within.

 

Karina was a wonderful guide.. What she has is genuinely an offering, not a preaching. And that is huge."
