KAREN CURRY, B.S.N.      Known for her ability to deliver important information with a sense of humor and compassion, Karen has been coaching individuals and families for over 10 years.    She has been an activist in alternative healing since she graduated from The University of Texas with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in 1988.      As a B.S.N. Nurse, Karen coached new mothers in natural childbirth and breastfeeding, assisted a Certified Nurse Midwife at home births, and worked as a labor and delivery nurse in a large public hospital in Houston.       In 1993, after having children of her own (at home with a midwife), Karen became a Certified Parent Educator and a child development specialist, as well as a full time mom and homeschooling parent.

In the last decade Karen has studied and taught a variety of healing and self-improvement methods including Healing Touch, Redirecting Children's Behavior, Brain Gym, Kinesiology, NLP, and The Reconnection.  She has also mastered several Meridian Energy Therapies such as EFT, BSFF, and Relationship Energy Repatterning with Paul and Layne Cutright.      In addition to possessing healing skills, Karen is a powerful psychic and a clairvoyant medium.  She is a Certified AngelTherapy Practitioner who has personally trained and worked with Dr. Doreen Virtue.    Most recently, Karen has become a Certified Human Design Analyst, Living Design Teacher, and a Family Design Analyst, personally trained by Ra Uru Hu, the founder of the Human Design System.  She has also trained with Dr. Eleanor Haspel-Portner, the founder of Unified Life Sciences, an organization dedicated to the scientific validation of the Human Design System and its components.    Karen is a nationally known speaker and seminar leader.  She has been interviewed on radio talk shows as an Indigo Child specialist and as an advocate for children who have been inappropriately placed on psychotropic medications, such as Ritalin.  She also worked as a writer and consultant for Human Design America, and she currently offers her own international Family Coach Certification Program.  Although Human Design Analysis makes up a part of Karen's coaching, she finds that meridian based techniques, such as EFT, allow her to facilitate fast and permanent changes for her clients.  Adding intuitive coaching and mediumship gives her yet another tool to help clients discover their true heart's desires. Her passions include teaching EFT and Human Design, giving intuitive readings, coaching clients through challenging life issues, and helping parents of the "new children" integrate Human Design and Meridian Energy Therapies into family life.     Karen is the author of two training manuals: Waging Peace in the Face of Rage, and EFT FOR PARENTS, and a weekly E-mail newsletter, Joyful Mission News.    In addition to teaching and coaching, Karen’s passion is spending time with her four energetic children, enjoying the magnificence of spring in her home in Minneapolis, Minnesota.    Karen is available for private coaching in person or by telephone and for seminars worldwide.  She can be contacted for seminars and speaking engagements at karen@joyfulmission.com.    *Karen is a 4/6 Manifesting Generator (fixed mind and ajna!)
