It is the end of a very long day. I’ve been rushing around getting ready to host Thanksgiving in between seeing clients and conducting follow up to support members of  a “Big Push” coaching program I’ve been co-leading with my mentor and friend, Michael Charest.

I blame all those technical proposals I’ve written during the last 15 years for robbing me of my creativity.

I watch my mind as it goes through its priming process.   

Back to how do I start this blog?  I struggle some more. And then I realized it’s just like going into a room full of people you’ve never met – you introduce yourself.

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m a recovering school administrator. In the course of my recovery work I was serendipitously brought back to an intrigue of mine – hypnosis. Now I’m a clinical hypnotist.

That’s it. Enough ‘me babble’. If you want to know more, you can visit one of my hypnosis websites:
