Testimonials

In Control

"Six weeks ago I walked tentatively in to Karen's clinic, not knowing what to expect, or what could be achieved. All I knew is that I had been trying to get passed alot of tough things in my life, and seemed to be just going around in circles. Over the 6 weeks, through various techniques, Karen has been able to guide me onto the path I wanted and needed to be on. I feel soooooo good, deep deep inside. I have never felt this way before..in control. I mean really in control. A deep seeded internal peace. I feel incredible. Its hard to articulate the changes I feel... and the tough things on repeat, gone, really truely gone. Thankyou Karen for this amazing feeling and change." S.D. Blue Mountains

Distraught

"When I came to Karen, I was distraught about who I was. I had obsessive compulsive disorder, misophonia, social anxiety and depression. I had a history of eating disorders, and had unwillingly accepted the fact that this was who I was, and would often joke that I was "broken". I would cull friends relentlessly because of my excessively high standards, and would risk my life on the road by being obsessed with my left and right tyres hitting an even amount of light reflectors. After 6 sessions, [now] I can truly appreciate and love myself for who I am. I am constantly challenging my thinking styles and recognising and congratulating myself for successes, instead of thinking "I could have done better if…". I am confident in saying that I am thriving in my social life and relationships, my university degree, my physical health and my mental health. ... Karen is a brilliant woman, who tells it like it is. I cannot thank her enough for taking me through this program, and I truly have to thank myself for making this change". A.T. Ivanhoe

Fear of Gastro

"I am high on life! I now have all the tools to create a happier and healthier life for myself. As long as I can remember I have had a fear of gastro. I have tried a number of counselling options, self-help tools, exposure therapies and research into trying to change this. I was one call away from asking my doctor for medication when I found Karen’s website... [now] My outlook on daily life is positive, my relationship with my husband has improved, I am creating strong foundations for my children and helping them to develop their own positive belief systems. Most importantly my relationship with myself is stronger than ever and I am achieving things I once saw as impossible..." K.H. Adelaide

Healthy Eating & Self Esteem

"After many years of battling my weight and trying different programs, I finally reached out to Karen. I did six sessions and after the first week I was armed with a better understanding of what foods my body needed, the importance of an exercise plan and some homework exercises. As I progressed through the weeks, I was making significant progress in terms of weight loss and changing my self-image from negative to positive. I lost 8 kgs, but importantly, I have a huge bounce in my step, positive attitude towards life, an increase in self-esteem and general self-worth (I can now look at myself in the mirror without cringing) and very committed to healthy eating and daily exercise (actually the whole family has followed in my footsteps). So if you are in doubt of needing the incentive to take that dreaded first step, feel reassured this does work... I just keep going from strength to strength. Thanks". M.H. Jindera

Limiting Beliefs

"Since working with Karen my life is bigger, brighter and more exciting than it has ever been. Before hiring Karen as my coach, I was lost. Life was a daily challenge and I had sooo... many limiting beliefs that I was holding myself back at every turn. Now I feel I can do anything and I am just about to launch into a new and exciting career. Karen is warm, straight forward ( which I needed as Karen didn't let me get away with being indecisive or should I say wishy washy) and she has an unbelievable talent for helping people overcome life's challenges. Karen has inspired me to grab life with both hands, be kinder to myself and chase my dreams. I would recommend Karen to anyone needing a helping hand to reclaim their lives and live well. Thank you Karen . You are awesome!" AG - North East Victoria

Anxiety Pretty Much Ruled My Life

"...I wouldn’t sleep, I wouldn’t socialize, and I wouldn’t accept help, I was depressed. I was too afraid... Karen guided me through it ... When I went under [talking about hypnosis], I was completely aware. I was asleep and not asleep, I was myself but not myself. I heard everything she told me, and to this fine day I still remember everything. When it was over, I literally smiled. I smiled for the whole day. I could feel the change. I wasn’t afraid anymore. Everything is different now. I laugh, I socialize, I SLEEP!!! When I look back on those hard moments, I honestly laugh at how selfish I was. Everyone was afraid for me, but I wouldn’t listen. I just stayed in my room and listened to music, and sometimes I stayed there for days. Thank you Karen for turning me into a human and not a walking corpse. It was worth it. I was 16 when I decided to change; please don’t you wait any longer". Z.C.  Lavington

Social Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

"Dear Karen, Thank you so much for helping my daughter. To see her grow in her confidence in all ways where she was struggling is incredible. I cannot express enough, how amazing this feeling is! After seeing psychologists on and off for a few years with no real improvements you have helped her in 6 weeks. You have taught her how to change her thought processes confidently and to be in control when she feels overwhelmed. I would encourage any parent to do this along with their child, as the gains that I got from this course, not only helped me to work along-side my daughter and have a better understanding, but helped me in my own beliefs and has improved my life also. Thank you again I am truly grateful". A. V. Melbourne

Wedding Nerves

"Hi Karen, I have been meaning to get onto my emails to thank you since my last session with you. I arrived as you know in such an emotional state, after my 6th and last session with you, I left feeling stronger, confident and stress free. The aim for my sessions was to give me some sort of control and be able to get through my upcoming Wedding Ceremony without losing it.... To speak our vows for everyone to hear, not to be crying from start to finish. You gave me so much more than this... You have truly helped me ... For those people needing help, you should definately give hypnotherapy a go. I didn't want my sessions with you to end!! It's great to just meet a person and feel as though you can read exactly who I am. So, here I am, truly grateful for your help. Thankyou Karen". T.S. Wodonga

Weightloss 

"...I have lost 6 kg to date and I am half way to where I would like to be, which is just fantastic. I no longer crave any foods and although I still have all the foods that I used to snack on still in the house I have no desire to eat any of them. My family has also greatly benefited as their meals are much more healthier now too. Not only have you helped me lose the weight that I just couldn't shift you have also given me a better outlook on life...  I am a much happier person and seem to take great joy in the simple things in life!... I now go to the gym three times a week and have also taken up yoga! I am enjoying exercising so much more. Thanks so much for all your help Karen... M.N. Baranduda
