Accessible
We believe that wellness is not a luxury; it is a birthright. Scholarships and sliding scale offerings will help remove cost as a barrier to healing.

We envision a world where healing is a supported part of daily life, accessible to all backgrounds and means.
Who we are
Citrine Sanctuary is a healing nonprofit in formation dedicated to expanding access to emotional, spiritual, and community-based wellness.
Our origin is Citrine, an award-winning Marin wellness boutique growing into a living laboratory, learning center, and sanctuary where rigorous science and spiritual practice strengthen one another.

Karyn’s story
Navigating autoimmune conditions since childhood, Karyn sought healing through alternative modalities, long before holistic wellness was mainstream. Each helped, but they lived under different roofs. Citrine brings them together in one place, open to all: the belonging Karyn spent a lifetime searching for.
There’s a place you can go, deep within yourself, where fear and judgment don’t exist—it’s only love and light. It’s a place of peace, power and purpose. This state of being is available to all of us.
Built for lasting wellbeing
Supporters make transformative practices possible for others. In return, the community becomes the medicine—connecting, uplifting, and sustaining everyone within it.
Visit CitrineIn their words
Being at Citrine is always one of the best parts of my week! I’m my higher self during and after each class.
Citrine is a beautiful sanctuary that instantly calms my being whenever I step inside whether I’m there for class, the salt room, a reading, or simply to enjoy the stylish shopping. Being part of this remarkable, caring community has been such a bright light in my life.
I am so deeply grateful to be part of Citrine’s magic that’s walking me home to myself, strengthening the trust that I’m supported with each step I take.
I have had the most impactful healings when working with Karyn in the Akashic Records. Her approach and her availability to work with whatever arises in the moment allowed me to heal deep ancestral karmic loops that had been weighing heavy on me and affecting my world. I had been experiencing micro shifts through my healing journey but she allowed me to connect with powerful shifts to unhook from my mom’s neediness and energetic pulls. I am so grateful for her approach, openness to the divine that allows deep healing to take place and also the miracle to release my mom’s painful hooks as well as her pain.
I found Citrine during a sabbatical, my sacred pause as I like to call it. I found myself at Citrine multiple times a week for different healings and classes that not only nourished my soul but they actually changed me! I healed the burn out I was feeling from a long career, I made new friends, my body grew stronger and healthier, and my soul was loved and cared for in a new and beautiful way!
I started my Citrine membership at a time that I needed it the most in my life, and the classes helped me through so much.
I’ve been privileged to be a student of Karyn’s for nearly 20 years. I consider my weekly class with her church. In addition to the regular benefits of a gentle yoga class, it’s my weekly spiritual regrounding. I am not the same if I miss a week, and I owe so much of my spiritual growth to Karyn and Citrine. She has truly improved my life in ways too numerous to list.
I truly appreciate the beautiful classes and warm welcome from the Citrine community. My time at the studio provided a much-needed reset for my mind, body and soul, and helped me prioritize my health and wellbeing. I’m grateful to have discovered such a special place, and appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness shown to me.
I attended a week long Mexico retreat with Karyn and Maya and it truly changed my life. I noticed a huge shift in my life, and so did others around me.
Our commitment
World-class wellness should be
We believe that wellness is not a luxury; it is a birthright. Scholarships and sliding scale offerings will help remove cost as a barrier to healing.
Inclusion is the foundation that shapes our spaces, practitioners and programs. Our offerings honor different backgrounds, traditions and ways of healing.
We believe that healing happens in relationship, not in isolation. Donor-funded scholarships, communal rituals and shared sacred space invite people to learn and heal alongside one another rather than alone.
Support the missionThe best prescription I’ve ever written? A good laugh, shared with good people.
Our approach
Five guiding pillars
At Citrine, everyone belongs and deserves equal access to both ancient and modern healing modalities.
The Citrine Sanctuary is committed to studying what heals from a root-cause level, aligning scientific inquiry with spiritual and energetic practices. We redefine what wellness can look like.
We partner with leading practitioners, clinicians and researchers to measure what works and build evidence for long-practiced modalities. Citrine Sanctuary brings together trailblazers and respected health leaders who believe belonging is essential to healing and well-being.
Our heart-centered classes, workshops, and community events bring our mission to life. We explore movement, energy, and spiritual practices not as one-time activities, but as daily rituals.
Scholarship-supported programs that give people, especially teens and families, tools they can carry long after they leave.
A thriving hub for community-based healing, Citrine expands access through free events, scholarships, subsidized trainings, and youth and recovery programs—making transformative healing accessible to all.
Reflecting on a long career, I realize that some of the most profound healings I have witnessed cannot be explained by modern medicine alone.
The vision
A sanctuary under one roof

Leadership
Our leadership team

Founder · Visionary · Teacher
Karyn has spent over 35 years training under some of the world’s most revered yoga and spiritual teachers. After building a successful career as a wardrobe stylist and set designer in fashion, television, and film, she felt called to something deeper—bringing her to California to explore alternative medicine, acupuncture, naturopathy, and homeopathy. She holds a Master’s Certification in Intuition Medicine® and the Akashic Records, and through decades of study and practice, discovered her true purpose as an educator, leader, and Founder. Along the way, she came to embody what she now knows to be true: beauty, healing, and spirit are not separate—they live within us all.

Global Ambassador · Teacher · Strategist
Maya grew up in an entrepreneurial family and began studying Energy Medicine® as a teenager. During the pandemic, she developed and taught a self-healing curriculum for teenagers before moving to London to pursue her studies in business and Hypnotherapy. With a decade of experience in Energy Medicine® and Hypnotherapy, Maya helped launch Citrine Wellness and now serves as its Global Ambassador and Strategist, leading its practitioner network and business strategy while helping shape transformational experiences for Citrine’s clientele.

Physician · Researcher · Founder
Mary has spent the last three decades operating at the highest levels of biotechnology. She has served as a clinical strategist and dynamic board member, and has raised over $3B for research into solutions to today’s top health issues including oncology, immunology and women’s health drug development. In addition to her global clinical background and tireless work as an experienced physician and researcher, Mary credits energy work and the power of prayer as equal partners in healing.
