Karen grew up in a family in the Australian Military meaning she lived in different homes in different places most of her childhood... from home town Melbourne to the country town of Sale in Victoria to Canberra and Butterworth - Malaysia.
Being "away from home" was an inner experience as well as a physical one that played out as a pattern of constant moving and tragic life coping strategies well into adulthood.
Becoming a mother, Karen says, is what bought to consciousness her buried cravings to belong and create connection and collaboration in a way that served her relationships and her life. Discovering NVC and the power of self-empathy allowed Karen to transform her own life from disconnection and anxiety to connection and wellbeing in such a profound way to have inspired her to share her story and pass along the gift.
Values:
Experiencing Wellbeing through connection & life-serving progress, and empowering others to enjoy the same.
Relating in families, workplaces and in the street where human wellbeing is central.
Karen presented at the 1990 International Public Relations World Congress in Canada on the subject ‘Communications in the New Millennium’. She has a degree in Management Communication from Deakin, has appeared on radio and as a presenter at the Seven Sisters Festival 2013, and is a social advocate for wellbeing.
