About Me
Karen Lewis spent her early years as a Certified Public Accountant and bank Senior Vice-president. She was declared 100% disabled almost two decades ago by two physicians with diagnoses of thirty-four diseases, primarily autoimmune.
She found a specific trauma treatment, Holographic Memory Resolution®, HMR, which helped her heal and get back into the workforce as an advanced clinical hypnotherapist and certified HMR practitioner. She has been working with clients in that capacity for more than fifteen years. Some of her client referrals are from four different doctors who send their patients with chronic pain, depression, or anxiety for which they find no medical basis or remedy.
