KAREN YOUNG M.T.I.,I.T.E.C.,E.HA

    • Practitioner Information #02
  • Ten years ago, I decided to break away from a corporate career to devote my time and energies to a more holistic way of life. I have now taught meditation and stress management for nine years, through practical meditation techniques, visualisation exercises and breath awareness. I work from beginner to advanced level and from individuals to large groups. I teach meditation from home and have taught at a local schools, at workshops at the Earthlife Holistic Centre in Kew. I am happy to create tailor-made workshops for corporate groups. I have also worked as an adviser for a number of national magazines, to help them produce articles on meditation. On a personal level, I have practised meditation for many years on a daily basis and understand the benefits at first hand.
