I'm Karli. I spent fifteen years as an engineer inside corporate energy systems before I understood that the system I actually needed to learn was my own nervous system, and now I teach the humans still in the room how to lead it without disappearing into it. Breathwork, energy work, and the kind of calibration that doesn't wait for burnout to show up.
Everyone else gets the version of you that has it handled. Your team, your board, your family at the dinner table.
Nobody sees what it costs to build that version before you even open the door.
You got here by being the one who holds it, and that same instinct is running your body into the ground.
That's the layer I work in.
The neurodivergent parent still figuring out what actually helps their kid, when none of the books or the blogs or the other parents' advice ever quite worked. The woman who feels pulled toward the spiritual practice of her lineage and worried that following it means abandoning her belief in science, or her culture, or both. The leader who would say "I'm a square peg in a round hole" but never really felt like just a peg at all. If any of that is you, keep reading.
You're the C-suite woman who won't lead the way the men before her did, or the only one in the room who leads, thinks, or looks the way you do. Every leadership book you've read was written by someone who never had to invent the version of themselves you're inventing right now. That's not a gap in your training. That's the work.
You get hot, you get frazzled, then you go numb, because staying connected to what you feel would make it impossible to keep going. You've learned to survive the room instead of being in it. You can't remember the last time that wasn't true.
You said what you were supposed to say and climbed the way you were supposed to climb, and you got the role. Now your friendships have shifted, your team feels different, and you're delivering the same meetings you were trained to deliver, wondering when you stopped feeling any of it.
You've got the plan, the next steps, the metrics that are supposed to prove it's working, and none of it feels connected to anything real. You can't tell anymore if your decisions come from your own knowing or from numbers that change every month. That's exactly where we start.
A pre-meeting session for the high-stakes decision, the board update, the presentation you’re ready to nail. I get you regulated and connected before you walk in, not scrambling to recover after.
Book a session →For the founder who sets the tone for the whole company and feels it land right back in her own body. Space to keep leading the intuitive, soul-led way that got you here, while building the regulation that lets you sustain it.
Book a session →Individual energy work rooted in the curanderismo of my lineage, for the deeper reset a twenty-minute calibration isn't built to hold. This is where the real repair happens.
Learn more →A room full of people breathing their way back to themselves, together. If a private session feels like too big a first step, start here.
Learn more →80%
of people in high-demand roles say the strategies they're using to cope aren't fully working. Only 20% call them "very effective."
I spent fifteen years as an engineer inside a large public utility, in the meetings, on the calls, watching people treat non-emergencies like fires while the real crises required the opposite. I was one of them.
I left to build what I couldn't find from the inside. This number comes from 61 people who live the pattern you're living, including the actual emergency responders and caregivers whose language gets borrowed every time someone says "burnout."
I'm Karli, founder of Starshine Lightwork. I spent fifteen years as an engineer inside corporate energy systems before I found my way back to curanderismo, the ancestral healing practice of my lineage, and started using it to help people do what I couldn't find help doing myself.
This isn't a program you complete. It's the calibration work that makes everything else in your life hold.
