A healthy connection to others supports the development of a balanced sense of self, leading to enhanced well-being. These key attachments become the driving force behind living a happy and fulfilling life.
My mission at Cycles of Life is to provide a safe and trusting environment that promotes growth, empowerment and balance. Located in Batavia, Illinois, my services include counseling, life coaching and healing arts.
“Being curious, having the courage to step into the unknown and then opening my heart up to the transformative moments — is what truly feeds my soul and allows me to live more fully in each and every ‘Present Moment’.”
– Karen T. Watkins
After receiving my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Benedictine University, I worked for a number of Behavioral Health Agencies in the Chicago Metropolitan area, in both direct service and administrative capacities. This afforded me the opportunity to expand my therapeutic experience in a variety of areas.
Around 2003, my personal exploration led me to other modalities of healing — hypnotherapy, yogic philosophy and practice, meditation, subtle energy and various other experiential techniques. Gradually this work developed into a full time private practice in the Western Suburbs of Chicago where I began to integrate all of these modalities into the work I do with my clients today.
I view myself as a facilitator of change who assists each client in finding resolution to the issues that block them from living a more authentic and fulfilling life.
