Hello I’m Karen and welcome to my holistic world of therapies, preventative and complementary.  With over 30 years of experience in the beauty and holistic industry, you can be assured of a wealth of experience delivering therapies that are tailored to you. My passion to help you live with a little bit more positivity, and be more at home with yourself in this modern world is my driving force and true reward as a complementary & holistic therapist.

I’m a mum of two and I would describe myself as a person who lives life in moderation for long term health and happiness goals. This advice from my Granda Cecil always connected with me, and I can see the values of the old ways growing up with whole foods, less chemicals and plenty of outside exercise.

My Mum Yvonne started the first holistic Clinic in Newtownards, and this is where I helped out at after school, but thinking I wanted to become a Management Consultant I started working in the banking sector whilst studying business. After 5yrs I realised that it was holistic help that I wanted to give you and not business help! Same principle of helping sort out problems but just with you personally and the switch of careers was easy for me. Specialising in problem skin care and back & body issues in my early career led the way to where I am today with my remedial workshops, stress therapies, and facialist services.

Now working from my own private salon (own entrance) allows me to provide a quiet, relaxing and restorative environment for you to help switch of your mind and body. I also take my workshops on the road to various locations.

Remember to contact me for advice if you are unsure what to book in for on 07704550422.

Designing new self-care workshops and signature treatments in holistic and healing modalities to support our mental health is what I am passionate about. Being lead to design these workshops comes from my heart and experiences as a Holistic therapist.

My mission statement is:

To provide holistic healing therapies & workshops, inclusive to all, empowering everyone to discover what self-care tools work for their own concerns so that they live a little more relaxed, more positive and a more happier life. I want you to be at home with yourself living your best life!

So if you are living with tense, tight, sore muscles, headaches, back or body aches, sleep problems, anxiety, stress, to name a few please put yourself first and help yourself.

“Your bodies are amazing and you are amazing so let’s get them back to their happy state.”

“As important as it is to have a plan for doing work, it is perhaps more important to plan for rest, relaxation, self-care, and sleep” Akiroq Brost.

Incorporating relaxation habits into our lives is important to cope with everyday stress and anxiety.

Relaxation should be our natural state, since it helps us balance our body’s metabolism, respiration, heart rate and frees us from psychological and muscular tensions that accumulate over time.

The recommendations of the experts is to start by including some day-to-day practices that cause peace within the body, since these will help us feel better, and over time they will become a habit that will help us to return our thoughts from the chaotic places to which they suddenly go.

Mind Body practices such as Mindfulness, Chi Gung (Energy Skill), Meditation etc work like exercise, doing it consistently helps us to generate a skill to stay in the present, try to get our head and thoughts to be where we want, in the here and now.

Thank you for taking the time to consider your self- care with me.

Let’s work together and make this year your best Self-care year!
