Karen is a mem­ber of the Cana­dian Pro­fes­sional  Coun­selling  Asso­ci­a­tion, The Cana­dian Col­lege of Pro­fes­sional  Coun­sel­lors  &amp; Psy­chother­a­pists, and the Inter­na­tional Med­ical &amp;  Den­tal Hyp­nother­apy Association.<img title="More..." src="http://174.122.3.67/%7Elaskey/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>In this episode of LeapTalk™, Karen shares some of her biggest pivotal  shifts towards brand  clarity and how she has been able to exponentially grow her business as a result of working with  LeapZone on a  strategic, branding and  coaching level. Find out how CLARITY has been the key to building her thriving practice.</p>
<p><strong>More about Karen</strong></p>
<p>Karen has been in the health and well­ness indus­try for 20 years.  Rec­og­niz­ing the impor­tance of proper diet and exer­cise, she became a  fit­ness instruc­tor and trainer in 1986. Help­ing peo­ple to become  phys­i­cally healthy was reward­ing, but her under­stand­ing of the  effects that the mind and emo­tions have on the body, and her desire to  take peo­ple to a deeper level, led her to train as a psy­chother­a­pist  through the Cura Insti­tute in 1997. After work­ing with clients for 2  years, Karen began to see the power and the magic of the sub­con­scious,  which led her to fur­ther her train­ing to include hyp­nother­apy in  1999.</p>
<p>Since then Karen has trained in Emo­tion­ally Focused Ther­apy for Cou­ples and con­tin­ues her train­ing through var­i­ous related workshops. In order to pro­vide effec­tive ther­apy to indi­vid­u­als with dif­fer­ent needs and ways of being, Karen’s train­ing embod­ies an inte­grated approach. The basis of her work is hyp­nother­apy, cog­ni­tive ther­apy and emo­tion­ally focused ther­apy, but she also uti­lizes tech­niques such as reflec­tive lis­ten­ing, focus­ing, body-centered ther­apy, regres­sion and dream work.</p>
<p>The knowl­edge Karen has gained work­ing with indi­vid­u­als with many diverse issues, cou­pled with her per­sonal heal­ing expe­ri­ence, pro­vides her with the skill, com­pas­sion and com­mit­ment to facil­i­tate your unique process of self-discovery.</p>
