My Story
A Calling That Wouldn’t
Be Ignored
Over twenty years ago, something shifted in me that I couldn’t explain and couldn’t undo. I had my first experience of deep hypnotherapy — not the stage kind, not the surface kind — and it opened a door to a part of myself I didn’t know existed. In that single session, I understood with absolute clarity that this was my life’s work. Not a career choice. A calling.
I dedicated myself fully to mastering this craft. I trained extensively in transpersonal hypnotherapy, past life regression, life between lives therapy, energy healing, and intuitive counselling. I earned my credentials from the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT) and the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA) in the United States, and the Past Life Therapists Association (PLTA) in the United Kingdom. These certifications represent thousands of hours of training, supervised practice, and continued professional development — not a weekend course, but a lifetime commitment.
My approach has always been deeply holistic. I believe that true transformation happens when you work with the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — not just the symptoms that show on the surface. That’s why I weave together clinical hypnotherapy with transpersonal and spiritual methods, creating a space where clients feel safe enough to go deep and supported enough to come back changed.
In 2018, I moved from South Africa to the ancient island of Gozo, Malta, where I established L’Gḩarix Temple Retreat — a sanctuary purpose-built for deep inner work. Today I see clients at the retreat in Malta, in Dubai, and online, working with people from all over the world who are ready for real, lasting change.
The Aligned Academy
Born from a Calling to Teach
After years of clinical practice, I kept noticing the same problem: practitioners were graduating from training programmes that taught techniques without depth. They had certificates but lacked the transpersonal understanding, the personal inner work, and the real clinical confidence needed to genuinely help their clients. I wanted to create the training I wished had existed when I was starting out — comprehensive, practical, and deeply transformative.
That vision became The Aligned Academy. Today, it trains the next generation of practitioners who want to do this work at the highest level. The programme is internationally accredited through IACT and IMDHA, and students graduate as fully certified practitioners — equipped not just with techniques, but with the depth, ethics, and confidence to build a meaningful practice. Cohorts are limited to twelve, because real mentorship requires real attention.

Testimonials
Words from Those Who’ve Walked This Path
“
My kids and I have learnt a lot about ourselves and each other after scheduling different sessions with Karin. She successfully and easily got my 14-year-old into a past life regression and myself motivated for my life ahead. I can highly recommend her and will be back.

Karin has an extraordinary ability to create a space that feels completely safe. From the very first session I felt held, heard, and gently guided through experiences that changed the way I see myself. The retreat in Gozo was unlike anything I have ever done — deeply healing and profoundly beautiful.
Michelle — United Kingdom
“
I travelled to Malta not knowing what to expect and left feeling like a completely different person. Karin’s combination of clinical expertise and spiritual depth is rare. She doesn’t just help you feel better — she helps you understand why you were struggling in the first place. That is a gift.
