Coach, Joshin
Karina is a Health & Wellness Coach on the Joshin platform who focuses on supporting members with emotional regulation, stress response management, and improving executive function skills. She is a mother to two boys, ages 5 and 3 — one who is autistic and the other who has a highly sensitive temperament. Once she became a mother, she entered the world of practicing co-regulation with her children’s ups and downs, while simultaneously strengthening her foundation in managing her own stress responses to stay balanced. Karina loves to dance (all kinds, especially improvisational!) and appreciates ’sun snacking’ on a sunny day. She knows more about dinosaurs and animals than she ever thought she would and loves to help her son set up intricate scenes as he shares his newly acquired knowledge about his new favorite animal. Karina considers herself to be a Highly Sensitive Person and extrovert who loves connecting with other caregivers, while strongly advocating for periods of downtime to reset and recharge.
