I’ve always been a ‘People Person’ and started off on a career path in life as a Hairstylist, then Childminding and onto Complementary Therapist, Reiki Master/ Teacher, Sekhem Advanced Practitioner ( although I no longer work with this healing modality), Hypnotherapist and Motivational Coaching, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, Hypnobirthing and Happyweight Consultancy. I am still on the road of progression with Fertile Body Method now added to my skill-set. This is a therapy to help couples with Fertility and Infertility issues. It utilises a mind/body approach using Hypnosis and Visualisations. I did some Doula training a few years ago but had to abandon it due to personal reasons, however I am keen now to return to Doula work and possibly also to Fertility-based training for Reflexology and Hypnotherapy. I’ve been lucky in that I’ve been able to be a hands-on mother while still studying and working, and now that they have flown the nest, I am able to be flexible with my working hours.
I must
have one of the most satisfying and relaxing occupations as it is hard not
to ‘chill out’ along with my clients and it is wonderful to have to wake the
client up when the session is over, or to be told that you have made a
difference to their lives. I also find the power of the mind fascinating and have another website www.karen-summers-awareness.co.uk which is based solely on Hypnotherapy and talking / Energy based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, Neurolinguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Technique, Hypnobirthing, Happyweight Consultancy, Smoking Cessation and Motivational Coaching. Hypnobirthing uses Imagery, Self-hypnosis, Visualisations and special breathing techniques to help you to achieve the most relaxing, rewarding, stress-free, comfortable, and often pain-free birth as possible. More information at www.karen-summers-awareness.co.uk/ Happyweight is a no diet programme which utilises CBT, NLP and Hypnotherapy to discover the issues that you may have surrounding food and self-esteem. It teaches you how to recognise your body’s natural hunger along with personal self-development. It helps to get out of the lifelong habit of dieting and deprivation. I believe that we are ‘spiritual being’s living a human existence’ but unfortunately we get so caught up in everyday that we tend to forget this and often feel out of balance. I have found that combining therapies such as Reflexology and massage with energy work such as Reiki can have a very relaxing and harmonising effect on the body, just as the combination of EFT with Hypnotherapy can help to remove the emotional blockage that prevents the client from changing their way of thinking and responding to certain issues in life.
