Biography

My name is Karen & I was born in NZ and immigrated to Australia in 1994.  I am a Grandmother of 8 (4 boys, 4 girls), & Mother to 3 amazing daughters.  I have worked within the Administration industry for over 40 years & realized I wanted a “sea-change”.  I completed a Cert IV in Small Business Administration in 2012 after starting my own business, KR Custom Services, producing & selling customized “wheat” heat packs & linseed eye bags, all with removable covers.  In 2014 I achieved a dual Diploma of Business & Management, 2017 Diploma of Community Services and in 2018 I completed both my Diploma of Business Administration & my Diploma of Remedial Therapy, adding the RMT to my skillset for KR Custom Services enhanced my business. My Diploma of Community Services, & the business Diploma’s are very useful for my second business, IDP Care Services, which supplies Aged Care Coordination to people with Home Care Packages, and Support Coordination to those on the NDIS.  Keeping both business’s going has been fulfilling, as I see people getting the help and healing that they need and seeing the physical & emotional benefits.  I still want to enhance my skills & knowledge so that I can continue to help others in more beneficial ways.

Throughout my journey I have watched and witnessed the amazing healing people have gained from natural therapies.  I am hungry for more knowledge on ways that we can  help our bodies heal, through vagus nerve stimulation, to naturopathy, to holistic nutrition, different types of massage therapy can help with different conditions, natural remedies.  In our fast-paced intense lifestyle’s of the 21st Century, it is time we got back to basics to help our bodies heal and not hurtle to destruction as quickly as we are going.
