Karla Hope Miller spent 25 years as a landscaper, deeply connected to the earth and creating sacred outdoor spaces. Yet a pivotal moment while living in Costa Rica left her feeling lost and searching for purpose. A chance introduction to astrology brought clarity and self-understanding, transforming how she viewed herself and the world.
From there, Karla discovered the healing power of sound. Through sessions with gongs, bowls, and other instruments, she released old patterns and stepped into a more aligned version of herself. This journey fuels her passion for spiritual psychology and sound, which she now shares through Sound Journey sessions at the Hope Barn, one-on-one Sonic Alchemy sessions, and intensives. Having been where others feel lost or directionless, Karla is dedicated to helping people reconnect with their inner home and evolve into their happiest, most authentic selves.
Karla believes that the Universe places people on our path for a reason, and if you’ve found this page, it may be a sign your paths are meant to connect.

Testimonials:
”The Care For Caregivers mini series has become a go to for me. As a care giver for very young children I often feel overlooked, overused and completely depleted in my job. The time that I have spent amongst other care givers has proven to offer me the perfect opportunity to set some time aside to practice self-care, self-reflection, self-affirmation and self-love. As a care giver, I struggle to find the time and avenues to take care of myself in the world where I am always meeting the needs of others, first. I have learned so many valuable mindfulness techniques and tips that I will carry with me forever and am especially grateful to the incredible educators, professionals and leaders that have been brought in to nurture, guide, teach and take care of ME! Thank you.”
“Having a moment to stop, to breathe and to feel the silence within felt like I could breathe again. I didn't realize how much I needed these sessions until afterwards!”
