Karma began in 2006 with a single consulting contract providing Marketing and Communications services with a Métis focus for the Belcourt Brosseau Métis Awards program, administered by the Edmonton Community Foundation. With the mentorship and guidance of three entrepreneurial Métis men, Dr. Herb Belcourt, Georges Brosseau QC and Orval Belcourt, who are great role models for success in their communities, I became a consultant. These three men, through Canative Housing, made the largest, most effective investment in the growth and development of the Métis people in Alberta.
Karma began to grow with a good reputation of service delivery within the Aboriginal business community. Karma is now incorporated and working with many sub-contractors fulfilling contracts and helping to advance the missions of Aboriginal organizations in Alberta. Karma is a Métis owned and operated business operating in Alberta by Theresa Majeran.
Karma provides a wide range of marketing and branding, communications and project management consulting specializing in education and health initiatives. Focusing on youth in both areas.
We also worked closely with Aboriginal organizations assisting in workshop facilitation, proposal writing, work plan design, project delivery, report writing, project evaluation and fundraising. and event planning services.

Cause and effect. For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. There are a lot of ways to describe karma, but it is essentially the belief that your present circumstances are the product of previous actions, and what you do today will affect what happens tomorrow.
