Karlee J HallKarlee J Hall is a registered physical therapist, neuroscience researcher (PhD candidate), author, and mom. Her academic work explores how emotional state influences the autonomic and somatic nervous systems and how these processes shape postural conrol. Her research-including a review published in Frontiers in Neurology-examines the connections between emotional state, autonomic nervous system activity, and sensorimotor control.

Beyond her research, Karlee is passionate about sharing knowledge about the mind-body connection with healthcare professionals, students, parents, and the broader community. Through workshops, courses, writing, and speaking, she helps others understand how nervous system regulation and heart coherence support healthy movement, well-being, and authentic self-expression.

Your Light Within brings Karlee's science-informed work into a gentle, child-friendly form. She wrote this book to help children-and the adults who care for them-notice their inner experiences, support nervous system regulation, and nurture a strong connection to themselves. Karlee believes that when children learn to stay connected to themselves and trust their inner voice, they develop a powerful foundation for lifelong health and well-being.
