I’m Karla Trippe – the chic spiritualist. I spent 30 years in marketing and communications, primarily working in the high-tech industry. Then, I trained as a professional stylist. When I started having a variety of health problems, I began studying spirituality, which was a lifesaver. I am a trained shaman and reader of the Akashic Record. My first book, "Scenes from the Valley,” focuses on real-life experiences of women working to move up the corporate ladder. Each chapter shares advice on overcoming challenges people may encounter in the workplace. My latest book, “When the Birds Stopping Singing,” is a magical fantasy story about a young girl who experiences a traumatic childhood. In the forests of Colorado, she meets a wood nymph who instructs the girl in different spiritual modalities to help as she struggles with abuse, deathly sicknesses, and bullying.
