For 20 years, Karyne worked closely with John Pierrakos, MD, the founder of Core Energetics, until he passed away in 2001. At that time, she took over his responsibilities in both Brazil and Australia, moving into her role as Director and Associate Director.
Karyne served as Director of Education for Core Energetics internationally from 1990 to 2000, and then served as Assistant Director of the Institute of Core Energetics in New York where she hired teachers and created curriculum through 2011.
While Karyne has taught Core Energetics at many venues around the world, she is now continuing her service by bringing the strongest teachers and cutting edge curricula to her trainings in the New England area. Her new curricula merge recent empirical findings with clinical findings from the past.
In addition to her training programs, she is presently teaching Master’s level Holistic Counseling courses at Salve Regina University in Newport RI, and providing private sessions for individuals and couples from her headquarters office in Middletown, RI.
Karyne holds degrees in Clinical Psychology, Nonverbal Communication and Humanistic Education.
