Hey there!

You’re at a crossroads in your life & your soul is calling

But you feel at odds with yourself, your place in the world and society's conventions. You’re craving respect and want to be valued but you’re stuck from decades of conditioning.

Trust me, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. And we’re not the only ones.

For centuries women were being burned for being themselves. Now, we’re burning out for not being ourselves.

So how do you work through the barriers that have kept you small for far too long?

That’s where I come in. Helping high achieving women like you join the dots and reach a new realm of success with a potent alchemy of strategy, spirit and soul.

MY STORY

From the boardroom to the healing room

After working in the corporate world for over 20 years, I understand strategy, leadership and the patriarchal politics at play keeping women small.

I’ve lived it and witnessed it on repeat. And while I didn’t like it, acceptance and workplace toxicity muted my intuition. Eventually, enough was enough. And now, I’m here to help you live it - or leave it - to be your best self yet.

I’m Karina Rook, strategic leader turned coach and consultant. Lover of myth, magik and mystery, I loathe being put in a box.

I needed to find my wings.

I first experienced teams and organisational culture aged 13, when I joined The RAF Cadets. By the time I was 21, I was the youngest female commanding officer responsible for a squadron of 50 cadets and a team of 11 staff.

While I ran a cadet squadron by night (and most weekends) I fell into a career in HR which spanned 23 years, including 10 years holding board level responsibility for people, culture and communications. It’s safe to say I’ve seen (and heard) it all!

It was all good... until it wasn't...

Working for organisations that ‘did good’ was a theme which ran throughout my corporate roles, and at the start, I loved it.

I thrived on creating better workplace environments. Blending science, psychology and leadership, I was able to make the impossible possible by thinking differently and always putting people front and centre. Helping people realise how to be their best selves.

But something wasn’t right.

And I didn’t like it. Not one bit!

The corporate world gave me my first taste of toxicity.

Witnessing bad leadership in action showed me the damage it had on people, myself included, when powers were at play to divide and conquer.

"You’re too aspirational” I was told.

I could feel myself constricting. “Oh my god, is it me?” But I knew deep down it wasn’t, it was a power play to keep me small.

In all the noise my intuition had been muted.

The moment I realised that everything I wanted was on the other side of the fear, everything changed. The transformational impact of uprooting deep, subconscious self-sabotaging patterns that lay in stealth mode, was better than I’d ever imagined.

With the guidance of coaching, the light switched on, outing the limiting beliefs that were keeping me firmly stuck. And since then, I’ve helped women make the changes they need to get back into the driving seat of their lives. No matter how daunting.

When you push beyond the fear, you can lead an extraordinary life. I know, because I’ve experienced and witnessed it, many times over.

Now it's your turn

Infusing my leadership and strategic knowledge with the potency of energetics, astrology and shadow work, is an alchemy of pure magik.

Now I’m here to guide you from feeling disempowered to rediscovering your voice and pursuing your creative dreams, so you can clearly see your future and what you need to do to make it reality.

Connection to spirit and soul is the pathway to true success.

It’s hard to find your way when you’re used to following a masculine version of business, which can leave you feeling cold, excluded and inadequate.

"Karina brought together the often talked about themes of balancing personal wellbeing against pressures of work in a very engaging but practical manner.

Karina is someone who just gets the connection between people and business and this is her unique strength. This is further bolstered by her deep expertise, her professionalism and that contagious can-do attitude.."

~Soumya

"Karina encouraged me through a difficult situation at work and I'd say was also instrumental in achieving the next level of my career. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karina for executive coaching or training on how to create a thriving and successful business."
