Born in New York City, Kareem began his career in the hospitality industry, enjoying two and a half successful decades working in New York & Miami. Spending nearly 15 of those years as a Sommelier and in that time receiving his Bachelor’s in Hospitality Management as well as multiple, highly coveted, wine-professional certifications and designations. He has carried forth his passion for hospitality in his current entrepreneurial business ventures including as a partner in KAN, one of Tulum’s finest luxury eco-sustainable wellness resorts.

Following the tragic death of his fiancée & life partner of 9 years, killed in a senseless act of violence, Kareem’s life shifted & so began his self-directed journey of healing & transformation. Through Yoga, meditation, and personal study, as well as implementing a practice of spiritually focused psychedelic treatments and experiences Kareem found profound peace after living in deep rooted anger, pain, and depression. This, paired with his lifelong passion for personal development has led him on a path guiding others on their own transformational journeys. Living in the world means that you are constantly invited to adjust to change, sometimes gently, and sometimes abruptly, altering the landscape of your being. Guiding others to directly elevate their experience has given Kareem the ability to be a mirror in which one’s own potential can be reflected and reached for.
