Professional accreditation and experience

My work is underpinned by Co-Active Coaching, the CTI leadership model, and holistic practices. My professional discoveries as Head of Brand Communications for leading brands like GHD & St. Tropez also provide multiple insights into ways to thrive and stay sane at the top.

“I feel very fortunate to know Karen. She has an amazing personality and can bring the very best out of each individual. Karen has developed a mindfulness programme called 'Breathe Time,' which incorporates live and recorded sessions for our company. The themes are very varied from controlling your stress levels to enhancing your creativity. Each experience is unique, and you come out of those sessions fully reset and ready for your next challenge.”

BEATRICE BOURDEL-GRANT - Strategic Marketing Communications Director, Bayer Consumer Health
“Karen aligns with our diversity and inclusion ethos and intentions to create greater balance, and innovation. After working with Karen on a wider training brief, it was clear that her positive approach, insightfulness, business acumen, international experience and natural chemistry with the team would prove useful in supporting us to thrive in many key areas.”

DOLF VAN DEN DRINK - Heineken CEO
"Working with Karen is a personal and professional pleasure. She supported Mums and Mums-to-be to find self-soothing mechanisms and moments of stillness through her live meditation sessions for Mother & Baby. As parents, we know that even a few minutes of calm and self-care can do a world of good. Karen also supported women who read Yours magazine with live meditation sessions offering healing, love and inspiration. Karen is beautiful inside and out, and I would work with her a million times over.”

MARIA MARTIN - Group Digital Editor, Bauer Media
“Karen helps women feel more confident and empowered to lead work, purposefully, in whatever areas they are passionate about. I feel that I got to know myself better and learned how to recognize and manage some of my emotions in ways that I didn’t know how to before. As a result, I feel more comfortable in my own skin, and also more at ease when things don’t work out exactly as planned or when there is a lot of pressure or challenges, I need to face at work. Throughout our sessions, she really took the time to hear and understand me, and work with me in a very personalized way, which made all the difference.”

LETICIA BOCCOMINO MARSELHA - Global Marketing Sustainability and I&D Director, Bayer Consumer Health
"Karen and I have a long-standing relationship that goes back 15 years. She has connected me to my own wisdom, helping me to move forward with greater confidence and self-assurance. In her sessions, I feel encouraged, supported and nurtured. Karen uses a variety of visualisation techniques that help me to see more clearly, allowing me to tune into my higher purpose.”

NICHOLA JOSS - Beauty guru & founder of Nichola Joss Beauty
"Karen is a brilliant facilitator, not just because of her vast experience but because of her natural empathy and intuition. I have found Karen's visualisation work and self-enquiry particularly helpful on a personal level - this stuff really works. She is a very versatile practitioner, whether it's holding an intimate space for individuals to group meditation sessions in a corporate environment. She is a warm, perceptive and instinctive teacher who creates an environment and relationship in which you can flourish.”
