About Karin
Karin
I'm Karin T. Brath — a nature catalyst, and a believer in self-sustain: how much we already have within us to take care of ourselves.
That belief is what became Lys by Heart.
​
My training spans NLP, life coaching, energy medicine, eco-grief work, Forest Therapy and breathwork — the fuller list lives on LinkedIn.
​
The name began during my pregnancy, when I called my unborn daughter "my little Lys" — Danish for light, French for lily.
​
This work didn't arrive through one method. I've travelled and worked across continents — though for years I played that down, wanting to fit inside the corporate world's box instead. Then COVID came. I finally listened, stepped into the unknown, and bought HJEM — over Zoom.
Some of what I carry runs further back than my own life — through lineage, through what came before me.
Evolution can't be forced; it comes only from sitting with what's hard and choosing to own it, until dark chapters become their own kind of clear light.
​
We have organised much of modern life away from rhythms that once surrounded us: the seasons, light and dark, the land and animals. Our bodies haven't stopped needing them just because our lives have moved on.
When there is little room for rest, daylight, quiet or contact with the natural world, many of us feel it as tension, fatigue or difficulty settling. Nature is not a cure. But time in it can help create the conditions to come back into balance.
​
The wild outside can also remind us of something inside ourselves that cannot and should not be controlled.
