Today we’d like to introduce you to Karianne Hardmeyer.
Hi Karianne, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Growing up on a farm in northern Minnesota, I spent much of my childhood in solitude, speaking to trees, befriending animals, and finding peace in the rhythm of nature. Though I was the youngest of five, I often felt more at home in the wild than I did in the human world. What I didn’t realize then was that these early years would shape the foundation of my life’s work, a deep connection with the earth, the unseen, and the ever-unfolding process of transformation.
Like many, my spiritual journey began young but was buried beneath the weight of seeking, chasing external validation, fleeting highs, careers, motherhood, and even self-destruction. It wasn’t until my father’s sudden passing in 2017 that everything cracked open. Grief became the portal to my awakening. It brought me to my knees, stripped me bare, and forced me to face what I had been running from, myself.
In the depths of my unraveling, I followed a whisper, a knowing. Without question, I booked a flight to Guatemala and enrolled in a yoga teacher training. It was there, in the stillness of my breath and the movement of my body, that I truly met myself again. I remembered who I was.
From that moment forward, my life became a journey of conscious embodiment, deep healing, and guiding others through their own awakenings.
As I have delved deeper into my own healing journey, I recognized the transformative power of vulnerability and authenticity. I encourage my clients and retreat attendees to embrace their own stories, to honor their past experiences, and to recognize the strength that lies within their struggles.
My work is ever-evolving, just as I am. Over the years, I have deepened my craft through a variety of healing arts, including:
200hr Yoga Teacher Training (Founder of Twisted Yoga by Kari)
Reiki Master & Sound Healer
Soul Touch Therapist & Flower Essence Practitioner
Breathe and Believe Breathwork Facilitator & Nervous System Regulation Guide
Trauma-Informed Youth Instructor & Womb Healing Practitioner
Tantric Coach, Intuitive Mentor & Retreat Host
Floral Designer, Artist, & Photographer
I bring all of these skills together in a unique, intuitive way, blending movement, energy work, nervous system support, and deep soul exploration.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I think any entrepreneur would tell you that it’s never a smooth road. It’s the bumps and bruises that make us pivot onto paths we don’t always know where they will lead! The Covid shutdowns were particularly challenging while running a small yoga studio but also pushed me to find new ways to connect with my students.
Personal struggles, balancing work and family life and trying anything to make ends meet sometimes can take a toll on any business owner, but if we can take time to remember why we are passionate about what we do than the bumpy road seems worth it.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
My work is deeply intuitive, immersive, and transformational. I am not just a practitioner—I am an alchemist, transmuting stuck energy and helping others break free from the cycles that hold them back.
My specialization in the areas of Soul Touch Healing, crystal sound bowl healing, energy work, shadow work, trauma integration, sacred feminine healing, sisterhood, breathwork, nervous system regulation, yoga and retreat hostess allow me to guide individuals toward a more profound understanding of themselves, fostering healing, empowerment and connection to their most authentic selves.
I have just recently launched a new service called Soul Touch Therapy.
Soul Touch Therapy emphasizes in the deep connection between body, mind and spirit. This therapeutic practice focuses on nurturing the soul, fostering emotional mental and spiritual wellbeing by utilizing a variety of techniques, including gentle touch, facial release, energy work, and intuitive guidance. Clients often experience a profound emotional release, allowing them to process and heal from past traumas or unresolved feelings as bringing awareness around where they are storing unhealed emotions within their body.

Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
My Soul Touch Therapy sessions are held at beautiful premier metaphysical shop in the heart of Detroit Lakes called Essence Edge. This space is far more than just a retail shop but a hub for spiritual seekers and a sanctuary for those who are in need of healing, help, support and community.
And when weather permits you can find me out in my “greenhouse” seeing clients, teaching yoga classes and holding sacred ceremonies.
Retreats are held multiple times a year and all over the United States currently (plans for abroad retreats are brewing)
