From Burdened to Balanced
Hi, I’m Dr. Karen.
I founded Balanced Doctor because I know what it is like to navigate the unique challenges and pressures of being a busy professional. I know how it feels to love your work and your family and strive to excel in both.
When I was a dentist in England, I had two young children, a husband, and a flourishing career. I carried the huge mental load of juggling both work and family. At the time, I had no idea how to escape from the daily patterns I had created.
When I left the UK to move to the United States in 2016 I was able to experience what life feels like when you regain control of your time, feel more productive and are able to spend more quality time with the people you love. After becoming an internationally certified life coach I knew I wanted to serve others who are juggling family and career.
My mission is to help physicians, dentists and professionals regain control of their time, feel more productive and spend more time with the people they love, doing the things they enjoy.
“Knowing Karen’s journey starting as a dental professional, becoming a working mother, moving her family across the Atlantic made me confident her coaching was coming from a wealth of authentic experience. Whilst I never once felt that Karen gave me the solutions, I had confidence in her line of questioning as these were all emotions she had experienced and worked through herself. I now view her as an important part of my support network when I need to talk things through.”
