About Karlo Berger
I am a bridge builder.
Throughout my career I have innovatively brought together people and ideas
in ways
that promote healing and a more just and sustainable world.
I am founder and board member emeritus of the Integrative Medicine Alliance, a nonprofit network that builds bridges between conventional and holistic healthcare in New England. I was also a founding board member and am on the advisory board of the Rhode Island Birth Network.
Over the years, I have worked in the fields of integrative healthcare, community development, education, international security, and the environment. My employers have included the Watson Institute for International Studies, Saferworld, Choices for Bristol, and the UN Earth Summit. I am a 1986 cum laude graduate of Brown University.
I also practice shiatsu therapy at Harvard University Health Services and at my private practice in Providence, Rhode Island, which is where I live with my wife Annie Gjelsvik, my daughter Astrid and my son Leif.
