Feel calm & energised through the chaos of midlife

Are you navigating change in your career or home life?

Perhaps dealing with physical health issues.

Struggling to balance work, family and elder care.

And you’re tired of the weight you feel on your shoulders and the mental load you carry every day.

I can show you how to follow a gentler, kinder path even when you are in the midst of the bat-shit crazy midlife years.

Whether you’re here to find support through health issues, feel less overwhelmed or ways to calm your nervous system, I’m here for you.

Working with me isn’t about doing more.

Or fixing what’s broken.

You won’t find ‘quick fix’ promises, health optimisation or bio-hacks here.

Through Reiki, sound and somatic practices, I help you reconnect with your body, your breath, and your natural energy rhythms, where you can:

  • Reset & realign with what matters to you

  • Feel and connect with what your body already knows

  • Rebuild your relationship with yourself with trust and rest

There is no one right way to calm your body.

But there are gentle ways in.

And I’d love to be your guide.

Hi, I’m Karen Skidmore

Now, in my mid-50s, I’ve reclaimed my pace, my strength, and my power, not through pushing, but through learning how to get out of my head and access my body's wisdom.

After years of over-functioning, I had to choose to create a different rhythm; to discover how to live and work at a pace that not only sustained me but also fueled me; to learn how to lean into my post-menopausal self and embrace my embodied wisdom.

Serotina has become the embodiment of that choice - a creation of a space for those who feel called to live and work from a deeper, wiser place within.

The word Serotina comes from the Latin for “late blooming”, a plant's tendency to flower or ripen later than usual.

This name captures beautifully how I feel about our potential to contribute and flourish whilst we age; we’re not designed to fade away!

And it’s for you, too, if you are ready to find your true self - again.

  • "I utterly loved my time with Karen. I came out supremely relaxed and it felt like I'd been fitted back together properly once more."

    Felicity W.

  • “Karen’s sound session brought a profound stillness to the group. She expertly created a soundscape to soothe, heal and revitalise. She’s amazing - try it!”

    Annie Stoker

  • "Karen not only passed on a feeling of calm and peacefulness, but the sounds she created from her bowls were amazing. I went in feeling a little unsure and came out feeling relaxed, calm and a total convert."
