About Me

About Karen

Welcome! I’m Karen McAllister, and I’m here to guide you in finding a new way to relate to both the material and the spiritual aspects of life. My journey has led me to blend practical financial strategies with a deep, holistic understanding of the human spirit. My clients say my approach is unique because it bridges two worlds that seem like they don’t belong together—spiritual, psychological insights with grounded financial wisdom. Through this integration, I aim to help people discover a healthier, more conscious relationship with money and wealth.

My approach is compassionate and intuitive yet grounded in practical application. I bring to each session a blend of warmth, humor, and deep empathy, coupled with the clear, actionable strategies needed to move forward. I hold an international perspective from years of living and working across Japan, Brazil, Europe, and North America, which enriches my understanding of diverse cultures and mindsets. This diversity is essential because financial experiences and challenges are as varied as the people I work with. I’m attuned to the social impacts of economic systems and understand how personal and cultural factors—like race, gender, and heritage—intersect with financial well-being.


My work has a heavy dose of psychology and spiritual insight, merged with practical tactics. This combination allows me to help clients not just look at their budgets but deeply explore how money affects their relationships, career choices, and sense of self-worth. When working together, we might talk about anything from your childhood experiences with money to your most practical financial goals. We dive into the patterns that hold you back and the strengths that can empower you.


For over 24 years, I've apprenticed in spiritual practice, studying under profound teachers, Qapel and Catherine Sensei and am a founding member and leader at the Clear Sky Meditation Center, where I live year-round in a conscious community. This lifestyle has taught me how to integrate spirituality into every aspect of life, including finances. I’m certified by the Money Coaching Institute, the Co-Active Training Institute, and Naropa University, among others, and I bring a depth of experience and proven methodologies from working with over 150 clients.


If you’re ready to connect inwardly, embrace clarity, and build a financial life aligned with your deepest values, I’m here to help. I know what it’s like to face internal challenges with money and the peace that comes from overcoming them. Let's transform your relationship with money from a source of stress to a source of strength, purpose, and even joy.
