About Dr. Karen Kan

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Ottawa School of Medicine, Canada, and became board certified in Family Medicine in both Canada and USA. At the University of Ottawa, I experienced month-long intensives in acupuncture and clinical hypnosis during her residency training.

I have worked for several medically under-served communities in New York and California and has also been an Assistant Professor at the Santa Monica-UCLA Family Residency Program teaching medical students and residents. While at UCLA, I was co-chair of the Evidence-based Medicine curriculum.

My formal acupuncture training was completed with the UCLA Medical Acupuncture for Physicians in 2000. I became Emotion Code and Body Code certified in 2014 and 2016 respectively. In 2016 I founded the TOLPAKAN™ Healing Method, and later, the Academy of Light Medicine™.

Mentoring and teaching have always been my greatest joy. I mentor and train Sensitive Souls from around the world on how to harness their Superpowers.

When I had my acupuncture practice, I was introduced to the Emotion Code by my friend Gretchen Uhe, one of my LifeWave brand partners. I dove into the book, loved Dr. Bradley Nelson’s work, and immediately started using it in my office with great results. I became certified and later discovered Dr. Nelson’s Body Code, which I also pursued. Through that, I learned about entities—something I found fascinating rather than frightening. Instead of shying away, I leaned in with curiosity: How could negative spirits affect someone’s health?

That curiosity led me to a healer named Tamara, who reached out unexpectedly and told me she had an intuitive nudge to call. She asked, “How can I serve you?” It was such an unusual and generous question. I jokingly asked, “Do you know anything about entities?” expecting to scare her off. Instead, she enthusiastically replied, “I love healing entities!” That was the beginning of our mentorship, and from there, I found other mentors, books, and teachings that helped expand my understanding.

As I continued working with the Emotion Code and Body Code, I noticed that some issues my patients experienced didn’t seem to fit within those frameworks. I started documenting the patterns I observed—some of them quite unusual. Yet, despite how unconventional they seemed, my patients improved.

One day, while driving to Toronto with my husband, I was experimenting with energy healing. At the time, I had been systematically asking:
“Is what this person needs in the Body Code? The Emotion Code? Or something else?”

The “something else” kept growing into a long list of patterns and techniques I was discovering. I had papers filled with notes, scrawled all over the place. That day, as my husband drove, I was deep in conversation with Source, muscle testing and receiving rapid insights. It felt as though the angels were with me, engaging in real-time communication. It was exhilarating.

Then came the message that changed everything:
“You are meant to create a new healing modality.”

I laughed out loud at the idea. There were already so many healing modalities—why add another? It seemed like too much work. But the angels persisted, offering two key reasons:

1. Some people will resonate with your energy and the way you teach in a way they might not with others.
2. It is part of your soul expression.

The second reason struck me. If creating this healing system was an authentic expression of my soul, I couldn’t ignore it.

So, I agreed.

Naming the Modality

Even after accepting my role in bringing this forward, I was adamant:
“I am not putting my name in it.”

The angels, ever patient and humorous, responded, “Yes, you are.”

We went back and forth until they revealed the real reason:
“You have resistance to it.”

That realization hit me. I had judged others who named healing systems after themselves, assuming it was an ego-driven choice. But in resisting, I was holding onto judgment—and if I was to vibrate at a higher frequency, I had to let that go.

Still, “The Kan Method” didn’t feel right. I went into Stillness, using what would later become a core part of this modality, and asked:
“Has this healing method been named before?”

The answer was yes.

“Is it in English?”

No.

“Is it in any earthly language?”

No.

That explained why I wasn’t receiving words. Instead, I was shown crop circles—symbolic representations of something beyond human language.

I asked for something I could translate into words. That’s when the term “Tulpa” surfaced.

At first, I resisted, recalling how in some stories, a Tulpa was a monster created through thought and intention. But the angels explained:
“It’s not about creating a monster. It’s about creation through imagination and intention.”

I finally understood. The healing method was about consciously creating a new reality through focused intention, aligning with Source, and using high-vibrational healing frequencies.

To ensure clarity, I modified the spelling to TOLPAKAN™, an intentional deviation to distinguish it from other uses of the word.

The Ancient Connection

Later, I received even deeper insights. The origins of TOLPAKAN™ Healing traced back to Archangel Raphael, who had personally attuned eight embodied beings with healing frequencies so they could attune others. One of these beings was Jesus—which resonated deeply with me, as I had always wanted to facilitate healing the way he did.

Another of those eight beings? Me.

In a past lifetime, I had been a Lemurian, a tall, strong healer who was tasked with spreading this energetic attunement across the planet. But I hadn’t finished my mission in that timeline. Lemuria had been destroyed before it could be completed.

So here I was, in this lifetime, picking up where I had left off.

At first, the TOLPAKAN™ Attunements had to be passed from person to person, much like Reiki. Then something shifted. As collective consciousness expanded, the attunements could be done remotely. Today, over 96% of humans on the planet are attuned to these healing frequencies—though most don’t realize it. My role has been to teach others how to use the gift they’ve already received.

Co-Creating the Method

Once I fully embraced my mission, I began refining and organizing the methodology. What started as a set of intuitive discoveries turned into a structured system—one that empowers others to ask high-quality questions, align with Stillness, and direct healing frequencies with clarity and purpose.

Rather than positioning myself as the healer, my goal has always been to help others become the most powerful healers they can be.

TOLPAKAN™ Healing has since expanded into multiple programs, with specialized applications for different needs—like the Anxiety SOS Program, which helps Highly Sensitive Souls discern whether their distress is coming from within or external influences.

Ultimately, this journey has been about rediscovering what was always meant to be. Healing is not about fixing something broken—it’s about aligning with the truth of who we are.

That’s the story of how TOLPAKAN™ Healing came to be.

People who know me, especially on Facebook, are often incredulous that I can do so much. I have to admit, I’m quite the Do’er. But in recent years, I’ve realized the importance of BE-ing – a much quicker and faster way to manifest more of what I want and less of what I don’t want. Busy people need ways of accessing stillness while still accomplishing all they wish to accomplish. This need birthed a technique I call STOIM™ – Stillness Through Observing Internal Movement and its associated Stillness-on-the-Fly™.

When I’m not “saving the world” (he he), working with clients, or training my students, I’m doing competitive adult figure skating in singles, pairs, and ice dance with my husband whom I “recruited” through harnessing the Law of Attraction. My husband and I are also West African drummers, and we perform with a dance troupe, Soma Beats, for celebrations, weddings, and community gatherings. I am also a Wing Chun martial arts student (my husband is the instructor), and a big fan of supernatural and superhero movies. Not that long ago we adopted a rescue Smooth Fox Terrier/Jack Russell dog that I named Apache, and he is my little “baby”. I wasn’t able to bear children in this lifetime, but I fully understand why given my big responsibilities. Nevertheless, I have Gen X and Millennial “kids” that I enjoy mentoring, hoping to build worldwide Harness Your Superpowers Training Camps for younger generations to come. They are my inspiration!
