I dedicate My Life Across the Table to my mother.
If I had not been blessed enough
to have her as my mother,
I surely would have chosen her as my friend

Introduction

I have been a professional psychic for more than forty years. Over the years I have been very blessed to live and work with people from almost every walk of life, and to read for people from just about every country, culture, and faith. When asked what I do, I tell people that I have the most interesting job in the world, because no two peoples lives are ever alike.

Every time a client says, Wow! Karen, Ive been coming to you for readings now for over thirty years or more, I still find it profound and amazing, and have always believed that my extraordinary psychic gifts are truly a gift from God.

My work is about the lives of everyonefrom deeply personal issues such as marriages, divorces, and substance abuse in families and with loved ones, to helping CEOs make corporate decisions. I have predicted many marriages and then danced at them, and I have predicted many babies and then been blessed to become a part of their lives, too. I wouldnt change a moment of it, because what I have shared and learned from my work is priceless.

I advise many large corporations that started with the seed of an idea when the CEOs and I met, and I continue to guide them through their growth with large and small decisions in the ever-changing environment of global business. I have worked with just about everyone: from homicide detectives in Europe, the United States, and Latin America to members of the British parliament in London. For many years I have given readings to leaders of Japanese media, bankers in Brazil, record-company presidents, world-famous entertainers, high-ranking politicians in the United States and abroad, housewives, rocket scientists, lawyers, contractors, movie stars, and artists.

Every single individual who has come to me holds a very special place in my heart, and I am humbled and honored to share in their lives so intimately. I feel blessed every day by my work, helping my clients by touching their lives, healing their pain, and opening spiritual doors they didnt know existed.

I have had the privilege to influence tens of thousands of people, dramatically impacting their lives for the better by guiding them through the obstacles of life, and opening their hearts and their minds to a life so fresh with possibilities each day.

I didnt know that my extraordinary gifts of seeing, knowing, and feeling things about everyone and everything were not shared, understood, or welcomed by everyone. The reality of that message was very painful, and clearly delivered to me by a group of girls I tried to fit in with, not long after entering junior high. Their cruelty was surprising to me even then. It didnt take me very long to realize that they couldnt possibly understand that the information I knew about people and their lives has always been like breathing for me, or knowing what color my eyes are.

Whether I have met someone face to face or have just heard their name, I have always known what was currently going on and what was going to happen, and I was born with insight into peoples lives and circumstances. In many readings there will be long-term predictions of five or ten years before an event occurs. Such readings have provided very specific signposts, helping clients become aware of upcoming issues or events along the way.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I grew up around my Aunt Dorothy, a spiritual reader for over fifty years, and my mothers friend Rachel, a card reader. My childhood gift of sight was very clear to everyone except me. In my early teens I was introduced to the legendary psychic Peter Hurkos, who in 1964 had worked on the Boston Strangler case, and psychic and astrologer Jeane Dixon, who had famously predicted the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On sight they recognized and nurtured my psychic gifts, helping me to grow as a person and teaching me to trust what I saw in my readings. Over the years Peter and Jeane exhibited a deep and abiding trust in my gift, repeatedly referring many of their longtime clients to me for readings. We remained good friends for the remainder of their lives.

It started out with simple things in everyday conversations, no big revelations. Then, quite literally, no matter who I was talking to, I would unconsciously start giving them a reading, as my gift took over every word that came out of my mouth. I couldnt help but notice the startled looks on peoples faces after a ten- or fifteen-minute conversation. They would stare at me and say, How did you know that? I was already very shy, so freaking people out just by talking was driving me crazy. I had no idea how weird this was for people, to meet some young girl who knew intimate details about them and spoke to them like she was living their life.
