Meet Karen

Hi lovely!
  • Facebook

I’m Karen, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Midlife Mindset Coach, and founder of Transforming Midlife.

This work is deeply personal. It grew from my own messy, magical experience navigating the emotional, physical, and identity shifts of midlife and perimenopause, the kind that left me lying awake at 3am wondering who I was now, and what came next.

And then came the symptoms (oh, the joy): hot flushes that could rival a heatwave, tinnitus, joint pain, plantar fasciitis, weight gain that made no sense, brain fog thick enough to get lost in… I could go on. Sound familiar?

I’d spent years in leadership roles, building trusted business relationships, coaching teams, communications, running my own retail business, and bringing meaningful community events to life.  I was often the one people came to for guidance and a listening ear. But when midlife hit, it felt like the ground shifted beneath me.

So, I got curious, and then I got qualified. I retrained in Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and evidence-based coaching techniques to understand how transformation really works, from the inside out.

Now I work with incredible women (just like you) who are ready to take back control of their wellbeing and mindset. I help reduce the impact of midlife, perimenopause and menopause symptoms, things like poor sleep, mood swings, anxiety, overwhelm, low energy, stress-eating, low confidence, brain fog, imposter-syndrome. self-doubt or that lingering feeling of being stuck or invisible.

​​

Whether you’re struggling with perimenopause sleep issues, need support for menopause-related anxiety, or simply want to feel more you again, my approach combines powerful subconscious tools with down-to-earth coaching that fits into real life.

​​

This is about embracing midlife and learning to love the new you 

​​

It’s about giving you the tools, support and headspace to reconnect with your energy, clarity, confidence, and purpose, and to move into this next chapter feeling like you’ve got this.

​​

Midlife isn’t the end of the story. It’s the rewrite and there is so much to look forward to!

​​

And if you’re ready to feel calmer, clearer, and more like yourself again, I’m here to walk alongside you.

  • Navigating a career crossroads

  • Stepping into a leadership role

  • Building or scaling a business

  • Or simply craving more clarity, purpose, and momentum in

  • your work

 

I’m here to help you move forward with confidence and alignment, turning uncertainty into exciting new possibilities.

What it's like to work together

Each session is approachable yet professional, with plenty of space for:

  • Easing anxious thoughts

  • Releasing limiting beliefs

  • Or sparking new motivation and direction

My goal is simple…

To help you feel seen, supported, and empowered, so you can embrace life at its fullest.
