About Karen

“It has been a blessing to work publicly as trained Spiritual Medium for over 20 years. I have clients who started out with me then and whom I am still blessed to serve today. Their off spring, spouses, friends and colleagues from around the world, have become clients and some have become close friends.”

Through Spirit’s guidance I strive to help clients through their grief, loss of loved ones, connecting them spiritually, guiding business and career moves, relationship challenges, life changing events and as an agent of change in their ongoing personal development.

My passion for making the invisible world tangible, with practical supportive tools for people has never waivered. It drove my co-founding of MetaVarsity in 2002 in Cape Town, South Africa (now sold) where people can study and develop the profound workings of Spirit within

The world of metaphysics, the unseen world, has always been a part of my life. As a young girl I read books on and experimented in astral travel, spiritual healing, psychic phenomena and past lives. I was the weird kid at school being asked questions about reincarnation and communicating with Spirit. In the ’70’s this subject was taboo, yet my yearning to learn and grasp the understand of this Divine Intelligence that embodies all has been a lifelong journey.

Karen has been an unwavering source of support through some of the most challenging moments of my life: navigating the end of a toxic relationship, facing the uncertainties of single motherhood, and making crucial decisions regarding both employment and self-employment. She’s even provided invaluable insight into my love life. No matter the situation, Karen's guidance has been remarkably accurate, offering predictions and recommendations that not only resonated deeply but also helped me move forward with clarity and confidence.

What sets Karen apart is not just her extraordinary gift, but the warmth and love she brings into every session. Her presence is nurturing—almost motherly—making me feel seen, heard, and supported on a soul-deep level. She doesn’t just read energies or offer advice; she truly cares. Every interaction with her feels like a gentle reminder that I am divinely protected and that my spirit guides are always close, watching over me.

Since Karen has entered my life, I have felt a profound sense of peace and connection to the universe. She has shown me that there is so much more beyond what the human eye can perceive. Through her, I've discovered a bridge between my conscious mind and the boundless wisdom of the universe. She has a rare ability to illuminate paths that once seemed hidden, helping me see both the beauty in life’s blessings and the lessons in its challenges.

If you ever find yourself feeling stuck—whether in relationships, career, or any aspect of life—or if you simply need confirmation on a decision that weighs on your heart, I cannot recommend Karen highly enough. Her insights are not only accurate but deeply empowering. She offers more than just guidance; she offers a sense of divine protection and reassurance that you are never alone.

I will undoubtedly continue working with Karen for years to come. With her by my side, I no longer feel the burden of always having to be the strong one. She has shown me that it’s okay to lean on my spirit guides and trust in the universe’s plan, even during the most challenging times.

Karen Barensché is more than a spiritual medium—she is a true lightworker, and I am eternally grateful for the light she has brought into my life.

I highly recommend Karen... such an insightful reading with extreme accuracy relating to events in my life. I received clarity, hope and inspiration with what I have planned for myself in the coming year. Great way to start 2022! I have regained my drive and energy after a tough 18 months of illness. Thank you Karen!

The spiritual mentorship programme with Karen has enabled me to use spiritual guidance in order to make better quality life decisions in the fields of career, finances, relationships, parenting and personal development. If you want to take your game to the next level. This is how.

• El Wasserman, 2022

‘Spiritual readings with Karen Barensche have acted like light houses on my path of life. She provides true insight in the most empathetic of ways so I can make life decisions that serve me better. I cannot recommend investing in this enough. She has repeatedly told me what to look out for, what to avoid, how to enhance and how to protect with near 100% accuracy.

For those more rationally minded, she told me about covid before it happened, to invest in Bitcoin before it grew, that I was pregnant before I told her, and that we were having a son before any test or doctor could tell. But that is not the valuable part. The valuable part is to gain insight into what is happening for the people we love and the forces that will impact our lives so that we can live more fulfilled, rewarding and useful lives.’

Karen has the unique ability to blend her life and her vast work experience with her Psychic Mediumship. I have had the benefit of addressing business, life, family and relationship events and challenges via Karen’s insight and psychic gifts over many years.

She accurately predicted my son leaving home to go across to the US and that he would be living in digs six months prior to this even being on his radar screen. Six months later he was in Florida, living in digs and has grown and matured immeasurably as she had foretold.

Today (16 May 2017) I reflected back on my notes from a reading that Karen had done for me on 13 May 2013. The accuracy of the cycle that I was in then is as relevant today as it was then, as the Spiritual lesson then is even more profound now as I have been experiencing the similar experiences at a more intense level – all a part the breakthroughs that have been required. My ability to negotiate my way through both sets of circumstances profoundly and positively impacted upon by Karen’s psychic abilities – saving me time, energy and resources and impacting profoundly on the progress I did and am now able to make. Karen via Master Koot Humi accurately identified that the one fundamental thing that I do well is to help people and my specialty in developing people is with those in organisations that connect with those above and below. She had no prior knowledge that my area of leadership development expertise is in the area of middle management.

I Caroline von Broembsen hereby with to attest to the spiritual mediumship skills of Karen Barensche. I met Karen almost 14 years ago for my first reading, at that time i had no knowledge or understanding of anything to do with the Spiritual World and Life after Death.

The most apparent thing for me, was the level of warmth and integrity exuded by Karen. As Esoteric readings are not a run of the mill event for many people, Karen immediately made me feel at peace and comfortable with something which was a very new concept for me at the time.

Karen has a masterful skill, in that she combines the ability to put into words the numerous thoughts,emotions and current life circumstances particular to her clients .These she alone could not know unless she was able to interpret with incredible accuracy the channeled information from her clients guides and teachers.

The most appealing quality Karen has, is her ability to drop her ego about her mediumship skills , and even though she is super talented, she is able to be humble and integrous in a beautiful and meaningful way , which allows for a clear flow of information .

She is also able to use words and her own spiritual understanding, to show extreme care and concern for her clients, in the sense that she tries to convey her messages in a way so that they will be clearly understood in the recipients language.

It is one thing to be able to channel a message, but quite another to be able to channel it in such a way that the recipient can not only receive the words but also the emotions, thoughts and relevant energy that pertains to only to them. It is no coincidence that billets are often referred to as “love letters” from spirit, as Karen has this ability to put together her messages in this fashion, making for a very personal and touching experience full of universal love.

Her information is not only accurate and predictive, but also very healing on a deep level, as she serves as the most beautiful intellectual but also physically energetic bridge between the transient world of spirit and the earthly world of matter.

From every reading that i have been for, I have always walked away with the feeling, that no matter what challenges i face in this world, no matter what path lies ahead, I am never alone. Spirit is with me watching and guiding every step of the way. That in itself is a healing energy that the world is blessed to have in the format of this beautiful , talented and kind medium.

Warmest wishes for your reading experience.

“Hallo Karen. I am just going over the last session I had with you 2 weeks ago. I am always bowled over by your gift and by the wisdom and the insights you bring into my life. You have been part of my spiritual journey for the last 4 years and there is no doubt in my mind that I am much, much further along the way because of you and your very strong connection with Spirit. I am eternally (yes!) grateful to Spirit for you. My heart wants to burst and I get very emotional when I think of all my sessions with you and how incredibly helpful they have been - on so many levels - some that I cannot even comprehend. It is huge. Thanks for the love and for the work that you do! You are such a blessing. Beyond words.”  M v N  29 Nov 2024

“Thank you SO much for the last 3 months. It was exactly what I needed to get going into this new phase of my life. What I most loved about coaching with you, is your extremely gentle and loving way of helping me to see issues and blocks, with absolutely no judgement! And then holding me in that space where YOU knew I could do the deep work required, so somehow, I knew I could. 

The feeling of someone ‘having my back’, believing in me and KNOWING that I would do it, has helped me to achieve my dream. 

The way you always saw beyond, went deeper to the core of what was ACTUALLY going on in my life - wow. How you helped me to deal with the result of the mental abuse I suffered from my sister as a child, was just incredible. I honestly can say, I feel like I’ve finally got past that, and it’s changed something deep inside. I know it, because when I think of her now it is with a feeling of neutrality - no trigger at all!
