GET TO KNOW ME
Hi, I'm Karina—
and I'm a heartist.
What’s a heartist, you ask?
Simply put, I believe every he(art) holds profound beauty and wisdom.
My work is an invitation to return to yours — using the tools I’ve gathered along the way.

A Story of In-Between
For a long time, I moved through life feeling like I didn’t quite belong — unsure how to make sense of the world around me.
Born in South Carolina, raised in the Philippines, and of Indian descent, I was constantly asked where I was from — and I never really knew how to answer.
In the Philippines, people asked why I looked “foreign.”
In the U.S., my accent was called “cute” — not offensive, but a reminder that I was different.

In India, the land resonated, but the language was a barrier I couldn’t always cross.
When I encountered the term third culture kid while studying in Boston, something clicked.
It named the liminal space I had always occupied — of belonging everywhere and nowhere at once.

The Awakening
After experimenting with paths in marketing and the café life in San Francisco, I found myself back in the Philippines — working five emotionally draining years in accounting.
And that’s when I began to ask bigger questions.
I knew I was meant for more.
Maybe you know that feeling too — that quiet nudge toward something deeper.
Everything shifted during a season I later discovered aligned with Uranus conjunct my Moon in Taurus.
I became captivated by the stars, cycles, and patterns — and began asking questions like:

If the Moon moves the tides, how could it not move us?
If we call aliens from Mars “Martians,” why don’t we call ourselves “Earthlings”?

This curiosity brought me back to Mama Earth — to plants, seasons, astrology, and energetic healing.
I began to understand myself deeply, truly — and finally felt a sense of belonging.And when I discovered that my sixth house is ruled by Pisces, it all made sense:
I wasn’t meant for desk jobs. I was meant to create Heartistry.

My approach
Work that lives at the intersection of the cosmic and the deeply embodied.
I hold space for women to come home to themselves — to meet their inner child, inner teen, and highest self with honesty, tenderness, and creative play.Every session is different, because every person is different.
We might begin with a birth chart. Or a breath.
We might use the Healy — a bioenergetic frequency device to read and balance your aura.
We might draw cards. Move our bodies. Or let stillness do the work.
What’s constant is this:
We make art from the heart — not to perform, but to integrate.
Through conversations, creative acts, and our very presence.

I don’t believe in formulas. I believe in resonance.
The Vision
A world where women express themselves unapologetically — and feel held in the process.
Through offerings like the He(art) Studio, my podcast Cosmic Heartist, and more, I’m nurturing a community of women living in alignment with their truth.
My mission is to help women reconnect with their hearts and express freely, using the same tools that transformed me:
Astrology. Embodiment. Energy work.
Whether in group spaces or one-on-one sessions, my work is rooted in presence, creativity, and radical self-remembrance.
I’m working toward a world where women feel nourished, alive in their magic, and bursting to share it — not because they have to, but because they get to.
I believe we each carry an inherent truth — a gift meant to be shared simply by being who we are.

we help create a more beautiful, honest world.
