Member of the International Council of Holistic Therapists (ICHT)

My name is Karen, I am an Holistic Therapist.

I have been interested in holistic/complementary therapy for a number of years.

I began by studying as a Reiki Pactitioner then qualified in Indian Head Massage, achieving a VTCT Diploma.

I recently obtained my VTCT Certificate in Swedish Massage.

During research into curing phobias I have become increasingly interested in mind therapies such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as used by Paul Mackenna.

Meeting and helping a wide range of people each day is extremely satisfying and rewarding; having a client thank me for helping to ease their discomfort and improve their quality of life is extremely rewarding.

Through enjoyment of my work I can achieve positive results with all my clients. With professionalism, competence and an excellent reputation I have had some wonderful feedback and obtained outstanding client reviews. 

I have studied the structure of holistic therapy and the benefits it has on our health. Through my passion to enhance well-being in all aspects of life I feel the following are most beneficial for maintaining all round health and well-being: Body & Aromatherapy Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reiki Healing, Corporate On-Site Massage, Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Reflexology, Nutritional Therapy, Yoga and Pilates.

I am a strong believer that holstic therapy and medicine work well alongside each other and, in most cases, holistic therapy can eventually become the better option to cure all ills.

I am a member of the International Institute of Health & Holistic Therapies - one of the UK's largest Professional Therapist Associations. I am qualified to Diploma level and carry full public liability insurance.

Aside from being a Therapist my time is divided between my family and working as a Special Needs Teaching Assistant. I enjoy reading and have a large book collection which includes many holistic health books covering a variety of practices. I am passionate about music; from classical and new age meditative sounds to modern genres. I enjoy walking through the beautiful scenic countryside here in the Chilterns as well as enjoying foreign travel to experience different cultures and lifestyles. I am very interested in green issues and our environment and lead as healthy a lifestyle as possible; having young children I am very conscious about health and nutrition. I enjoy meditation which I practice as often as I am able. Recently, I have been exploring writing short stories for children.
