Karen learned Transcendental meditation more than 35 years ago and has enjoyed the benefits ever since. Besides raising a family in Leicester, Karen has had careers in both Education and Public Health, which have been both rewarding and at times, very stressful. Karen has found TM to be an essential tool to build resilience and to not just ‘manage’ stress, but to actually get rid of it on a daily basis, allowing her to enjoy a busy career but also have time and energy to give the best of herself to her family and friends. Transcendental Meditation has had a remarkable effect on Karen’s life and this inspired her to become a TM teacher, to guide others to get the best out of their lives and to become the best version of themselves, through this simple and enjoyable daily practice.
