Karen Paisley (she/her)
BA, Mindfulness Educator, Wellness Group Provider
Karen is the owner and founder of Crystalline Wellness, a business focused on helping others discover the self-love and self-acceptance they deserve.
Born and raised in the Lehigh Valley, she attended Penn State University and also lived in the Washington D.C. metro area. Finding her way back to her hometown, she started a family and soon realized that her career aspirations had begun to shift. In 2020, she became a 200-hour certified yoga instructor and a year later, she took a leap of faith and started her own company. Karen is an Usui Reiki Master and offers energy healing services, yoga instruction, as well as specialized classes and workshops. She is also a certified mindfulness educator who is passionate about teaching children different ways in handling all the emotions that they can sometimes feel—she believes that even a little awareness can shift their lives in a big and wonderful way.
Message from Karen: Take the time to get to know who you are—your likes, your dislikes, your strengths and the areas in need of work. Don’t shy away from any of it, because it’s all important and the earlier one can learn about themselves and the world around them, the more enjoyable life will be.
Fun Fact: Karen is a yoga instructor that at one point in her life hated yoga! She didn’t “get it” and spent years avoiding it. Now she can’t imagine her life without it.
