Karrie Loomis

My path has been shaped by a deep passion for storytelling, travel, photography, and the inner journey of awakening. After growing up in Michigan, I served six years in the U.S. Navy as an Electronics Technician before settling in Virginia Beach, where I’ve lived for over two decades.I write personal essays and women’s fiction, and my work has appeared on WHRO, in Braided Way Magazine, The Sun Magazine, and other outlets. My debut book, The Rocking Horse, is a short, middle-grade fiction that addresses stranger danger. I teach creative writing at The Muse Writers Center and previously served as Assistant Conference Director and Treasurer for Hampton Roads Writers, whose annual conference was twice named Virginia’s best by The Writer magazine.I hold a Master of Arts in Transpersonal Psychology from Atlantic University, founded by holistic pioneer Edgar Cayce. My holistic practice integrates Reiki (Master level), sound bath meditations, meditation instruction, and dreamwork, and I offer one-on-one mentoring in meditation/inner life and creative expansion for writers. I also facilitate Ego Break Retreats.A lifelong seeker, I’ve had transformative experiences that fuel my interest in spirituality, metaphysics, and the mysteries of consciousness. A synchronistic journey through Thailand and visits to Sadhguru’s ashram in Tennessee deepened my understanding of our interconnectedness and potential.Through writing, teaching, and healing work, my mission is to support others in awakening to their true creative power and inner wisdom.
