# Karen Humphries — Blooming From Within > Karen Humphries is a Clinical Counsellor, Advanced Kinesiologist, Hypnotherapist and Trauma-Informed Coach with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate nervous system dysregulation, trauma recovery, neurodiversity, perimenopause, menopause, cancer support and behaviour change. Operating under the business name Blooming From Within, Karen is based in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, on Braiakaulung country of the Gunaikurnai nation. Karen's guiding philosophy: rather than asking "What is wrong with you?" she asks "What has happened to you, and how has your nervous system learned to respond?" Her multi-modality approach integrates clinical counselling, kinesiology, hypnotherapy, resource therapy, somatic breathwork and trauma-informed coaching to support lasting, root-cause change. ## About - About Karen: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/about/ - Book a Consultation: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/bookings/ - Contact: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/contact/ - Privacy Policy: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/privacy-policy/ ## Clinic Services Karen offers a range of one-on-one and telehealth therapeutic services. - Services Overview: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/services-2/ - All Clinic Services: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/services-3/ - Counselling: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/counselling/ - Kinesiology: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/what-is-kinesiology/ - Brain Integration: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/brain-integration-2/ - Telehealth Kinesiology: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/what-is-kinesiology/telehealth/ - Resource Therapy: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/resource-therapy/ - Hypnotherapy: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/hypnotherapy/ - Shape-Size Program (weight and body): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/shape-size/ - Intuitive Meditation: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/intuitive-meditation/ - Wellbeing Coaching: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/wellbeing-coaching/ - Mentoring (for practitioners): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/mentoring/ - Energy4Life Program: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/energy4life/ ## Retreats Karen facilitates day retreats and immersive group experiences. - Retreats Overview: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/retreats/ - Alchemy Day Retreat: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/alchemy/ - Imposter Day Retreat: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/imposter/ - Heart Connection Retreat: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/heart-connection/ - Calm Retreat: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/calm/ ## Books Karen is a published author whose work translates clinical knowledge into accessible, warm and practical guidance. - This Is My Roar (published book): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/roar/ ## Podcast - Podcast: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/podcast/ - Private Podcast – Change Container: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/private-podcast/ ## Shop - Shop (products and digital resources): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/shop/ ## Blog Karen's blog covers nervous system health, self-development, law of attraction, neurodiversity, breast cancer, menopause, business and personal reflections. - Blog Home: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/ - Category – Self Development: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/category/self-development/ - Category – Law of Attraction: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/category/law-of-attraction/ - Category – Breast Cancer: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/category/breast-cancer/ - Category – Personal: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/category/personal/ - Category – Business: https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/category/business/ ### Recent Blog Posts - Menopause and Executive Function (June 2026): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/menopause-and-executive-function/ - Why Code Words Are Helpful For Neurodivergent Families (June 2026): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/why-code-words-are-helpful-for-neurodivergent-families/ - The Power Of A Family Code Word (June 2026): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/the-power-of-a-family-code-word/ - Therapy Starts Before The Appointment (April 2026): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/therapy-starts-before-the-appointment/ - From Overlooked to Essential – Email Footer in Business (August 2025): https://www.karenhumphries.net.au/overlooked-to-essential/ ## Areas of Expertise - Nervous system regulation and stress response - Trauma recovery and PTSD - Neurodiversity support (children, adolescents, adults and families) - Perimenopause and menopause (mood, anxiety, executive function, sleep) - Cancer support (patients, caregivers and families) - Behaviour change - Emotional regulation - Working mothers and family wellbeing ## Qualifications - Bachelor of Applied Science (Environmental Management – Hazardous Materials) - Diploma of Mental Health Counselling - Advanced Diploma of Kinesiology - Diploma of Neuro Training - Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy (incl.
