Karen Bortvedt Estrada is the founder and lead facilitator at Wish You Knew - a consulting organization that creates spaces for individual and group reflection and transformation.  She is a Restorative Justice Circle Keeper, Mindfulness Practitioner, Certified in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace, credentialed in Mindfulness and Neurodiversity, and trained in Nonviolent Communication.  Her newest passion is her role as a Somatic Stress Release™ Practitioner (certification pending).  After years of telling folks “Fibromyalgia feels like stress stuck in my body” this modality offered clear techniques to engage with the stress response cycle.  It combines Karen’s deep intuitive ability to hold space, with movement, restoration techniques and other support which is truly magical.  Karen’s greatest passion in this work so far is working with clients who have felt they reached limits with other modalities or the medical field, those who are feeling stuck.  The ability to collaborate with a wholistic healing team is the dream – as Karen’s own experience with incorporating restorative yoga, myofascial release, different forms of therapy and Somatic Stress Release™ has been transformational.

Karen is always looking for new resources. She recently completed trainings in the following areas: Level 1, 2, & 3 Somatic Stress Release, Power-Conscious Nonviolent Communication, and Neurodiversity-Informed Mindfulness.
