Your Facilitator: Karen Dickson

Karen Dickson was introduced to meditation in 1999 to help support the demands of an international corporate career. She trained formally as a Meditation Teacher with Dr’s Ian and Ruth Gawler in 2009, continues to study with local and international teachers, and is dedicated to her own practice through Retreat both in Australia and abroad.

With her calm and down-to-earth teaching approach, Karen delivers practical techniques to help you easily introduce mindfulness in to every day life. She has helped primary school children (and their families) cultivate strength and resilience through the MindGym program she developed in 2012, assisted her local Yarra Valley community recover and rebuild after the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires, and now dedicates her professional career to a life time passion for Complementary Health and Natural Medicine.

Karen practices from The Nourish Space every Thursday where she merges a unique blend of clinical hypnotherapy & resource therapy, energetic kinesiology, mindfulness-based stillness meditation and positive counselling with her corporate management consulting and coaching experience.

Your Host: Heather Smith, Creator of The Nourish Space and founder of Nourish Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching

Heather grew up in the Deep South, where bluegrass reigned, tea was sweet and food was love—and "if it wasn't fried, it wasn't cooked". There were many summers spent shucking corn and shelling peas, but along the way when life got busy, she (like many people), found convenience in convenience foods rather than the garden. Fast forward many years to life in Australia and despite an active lifestyle, that "convenience" caught up to her in for the form of life-changing health challenges. When the traditional medical model shook their heads, Heather turned to food as medicine to manage her conditions and get her health back on track.

Inspired by her own success, Heather went on to earn a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine and now combines her know-how, with her passion for health and good food to support others in their journey to wellness. With a strength for connecting the dots and getting to the root of complex issues, Heather has been coined the private investigator of health and believes that we all have the power to reclaim our health through day to day choices.

Understanding how intrinsically linked the body and mind are and how important the balance between them is in the quest for better health, Heather created The Nourish Space, which provides integrated, complementary modalities that support clients in achieving that balance.

You can find Heather at The Nourish Space most days and on community stages around Melbourne inspiring others to eat well, be balanced, be healthy.
