Meet Karina Mosqueda

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Karina Mosqueda a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Karina, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

I think we all have a natural sense of our purpose, even when we’re young. As kids, we’re not limited by rules, and our imaginations can freely explore what we really want. For me, that purpose has always been centered around helping others. As a child I dreamed of becoming a doctor, but as I grew older, I realized that medical school might not be the right path for me. However, my deep empathy and intuitive nature, where I could sense and understand the emotions of those around me, guided me towards a different kind of healing. This is what led me to pursue Reiki-a type of energy work. I’ve always been drawn to trauma healing, and as I worked through my own traumas, I found it increasingly natural to support and guide others on their healing journeys. As I continue to journey through life, I’m discovering new layers of my truth and purpose every day.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Today, as an Intuitive healer and Spiritual coach, I guide others in discovering their purpose by helping them tap into their energy, release internal blockages, and shift their mindset through Reiki-a holistic practice, that focuses on mind, body, and soul. Our bodies are powered by a constant flow of energy, with seven main energy centers that connect to various parts of our body. When these centers become blocked due to traumas or memories that our body holds onto, we can’t function as we’re meant to. This leads to issues like stress, brain fog, physical pain, and chronic illness.

During a Reiki session, I work with these energy centers to restore and maintain the proper flow of energy throughout the body. Just like working out, where we need to focus on different areas of the body and adjust our diet and lifestyle to achieve results, Reiki requires consistent effort for lasting benefits. Much of my work is virtual, where I teach and certify students in Reiki, offer 1:1 Reiki sessions, and provide spiritual coaching to help guide you through your spiritual journey. Recently, I’ve also begun offering past life regressions, where through guided hypnosis, we explore your subconscious to uncover past lives and better understand the origins of certain fears, behaviors, and patterns that may be influencing your present life. Additionally, I recently launched my podcast and YouTube channel, ‘You Are Magic with Karina Mosqueda.’ It’s a platform dedicated to discussing healing and the spiritual journey, exploring both the wonders and challenges that come with it.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back on my journey, three key qualities have been most impactful: patience, integrity, and vision. Patience has taught me to trust the process, understanding that growth takes time and that every step forward, no matter how small, is meaningful. Integrity has been essential in staying true to my values and ensuring that everything I do and offer aligns with my spiritual principles, fostering trust and authenticity in my life and business. Vision has guided me through challenges, keeping me focused on my purpose and inspiring others to connect with my mission. For those starting out, be patient with your self and progress, stay true to your values, and keep your vision clear. Trust your path, and remember that every small step brings you closer to your mission. You can accomplish anything you set your mind too.

All the wisdom you’ve shared today is sincerely appreciated. Before we go, can you tell us about the main challenge you are currently facing?

One of the challenges I’ve been working through is allowing myself to be seen and to speak up. I’ve always been on the quieter side, largely because growing up as an empath- I tend to feel others emotions deeply and that has made it difficult for me to organize my own feelings and thoughts when I am/was around others. Over the past year, I’ve made a conscious effort to push past these barriers by learning techniques that help me absorb less and I have also started posting more on social media, starting a podcast, and openly discussing the things that truly matter to me.
I’ve also been working through the challenge of explaining energy work—a modality that can be hard for the logical mind to grasp. It’s not always easy to convey the deep and transformative power of energy work, but I’m committed to helping others understand and experience its benefits. This journey has been one of self-discovery and growth as I learn to express myself more fully and share my voice with the world.
