Kia ora. I've been so grateful for the opportunity to work with Karen.

I highly recommend Karen to anyone seeking effective and supportive transformation.

Bernie, Otago
Karen was really helpful. She went the extra mile to understand the unique sleeping issues I was experiencing. With kindness, compassion and patience she set about providing solutions unique to me.
I now have a ritual and toolbox that I can use every night, and I do. I enjoy the ritual, it is not work, it is fun and has made such a difference. I now go to sleep within minutes and if I wake I gently drift back to sleep.
I highly recommend Karen. If you want to make positive changes for you and ultimately your whānau too, then Karen can help you. You won't look back...because you will be too busy sleeping and honouring your beautiful self. Arohanui Karen, thanks for your amazing work to help us women get the sleep we need and deserve.
Lou, Wellington
I found Karen's voice to be incredibly soothing, and the guided hypnotherapy session was instrumental in helping me sleep during a period of chronic pain.
The session played a significant role in my recovery process, aiding my ability to rest and heal. Thanks so much, Karen!'
Liz, Christchurch
I must admit to being very anxious about trying hypnotherapy, but from the moment I contacted Karen, I felt reassured and at ease. She has a wonderful calming presence and the whole experience was both relaxing and empowering.
I came out of my first session feeling refreshed and energised and with a renewed sense of confidence in dealing with life’s challenges. I am excited to see where my next sessions will take me.
I strongly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled professional to guide them on a transformative journey.'
Lou, Christchurch
I had such a wonderful experience working with Karen as my coach. She helped me with goal setting and planning in a way that felt supportive and empowering.
Karen holds a beautiful, gentle space, she is soft, kind, and truly listens, which made me feel comfortable and understood throughout the process. I came away with more clarity, direction, and confidence to take the next steps in my journey.
I highly recommend working with her if you’re looking for a compassionate and skilled coach.
Milinda, Marlborough
I can't thank Karen enough for the incredible support I received in the lead-up to my wedding! I was really struggling with anxiety around public speaking, especially since I wanted to give a speech at my reception and of course speaking during the ceremony. I didn’t want to let that worry overshadow what should have been the happiest day of my life.
Karen worked with me beforehand to ensure that the hypnotherapy audio was tailored specifically to my needs and anxieties. She took the time to really understand my concerns and created a session that felt personal and spot-on for me. After receiving the coaching and listening to the 30-minute hypnotherapy audio in the weeks leading up to the wedding, I immediately felt calmer and more confident.
It wasn’t just about calming my nerves for the big day, though. A bonus was I slept like a baby after each session—something I had really struggled with during this busy time. I’m happy to say I had some of the most restful nights of sleep I’ve had in ages (I was used to the usual 3am menopause wake-up!).
On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly. I gave my speech with ease, and my nerves were virtually nonexistent. It was a wonderful, stress-free day, and I can confidently say that the hypnotherapy played a huge role in that. If you're dealing with any form of anxiety—whether wedding-related or otherwise. I highly recommend this service. Karen truly took the time to understand my needs, and it worked wonders for me!
