Karen Allen completed her Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in 1978, and worked in software development for 15 years. During the serious illness of a family member, Ms. Allen’s professional attention turned toward optimizing human health through holistic medicine. After completing training programs in integrative healthcare disciplines including acupressure, mind-body medicine, counseling, hypnotherapy, homeopathy, nutrition, Qi gong, and Tai chi, she began clinical practice in 1994. Over two decades, Ms. Allen has worked with thousands of clients who have reported relief from a wide variety of complaints including anxiety, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, depression, emotional trauma, fatigue, insomnia, menstrual disorders, migraines, panic disorders, social anxiety, trauma and cumulative effects of stress. As a leader in integrative health, Ms. Allen served on the board of directors for the Integrative Health Policy Consortium, an advisory body that engages policy dialogue with representatives of the US Congress and Senate, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. In 2013, Ms. Allen’s interest in health, consciousness, transformation and personal development led her to the remarkable energy healing work of Guruji Mahendra Trivedi known as the Trivedi Effect. After receiving a biofield energy healing treatment from Mr. Trivedi, she experienced a profound improvement in her health and quality of life. As she continues to work with Mr. Trivedi, she has become one of the 110 healers who have now scientifically proven the ability to harness and direct this energy for the benefit of others.
