My name is Karen, and I’m a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with children on the autism spectrum and their families. I have always dedicated myself to seeking out and highlighting the most innovative therapeutic approaches that drive meaningful change in the field. In the early 2000s, my business partner Joanne Chu and I established Hong Kong’s first privately run special childcare center. This bridging service provided essential training for children before they accessed public services. We also brought world-renowned practitioners and scholars to Hong Kong to educate local therapists and frontline workers, enhancing the quality of care for children. I had the privilege of meeting remarkable teachers who are giants in their respective fields. I have been profoundly influenced by Kim Barthel and Ditte Marcher. They instilled in me the belief that the body is the gateway to wellness, and that true well-being transcends mere fixing. It requires a deep connection between our physical selves to fully understand and enrich the human experience.<\/p>

To expand and deepen my understanding of the physical body in movement, I studied various approaches including the Anat Baniel Method, The Feldenkrais Method, The Jeremy Krauss Approach, and Gyrotonic\u00ae\ufe0f. Each discipline provided valuable insights into the body’s innate ability to heal and adapt. I’ve gained a deep, embodied understanding that the regulation of the nervous system, balancing between the sympathetic and parasympathetic states, forms the fundamental basis of all therapeutic work. This insight isn’t just an intellectual concept, but a deeply felt, experiential knowing that transformed my approach to therapy. To address symptoms like anxiety, depression, burnout, and sleep disturbances, body- and brain-based interventions are essential for deep nervous system recovery and recalibration. I was inspired to explore health technologies such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Intermittent Hypoxia Hyperoxia Training (IHHT), Photo biomodulaiton, Neuroptimal Brain Training, PEMF, Neurosomatics, Bioresonance, and Time Waver \/ McMakin Frequency Specific Microcurrent\u2014all brain and nervous system approaches that support nervous system regulation. These transformative technologies broadened my perspective on therapeutic possibilities.<\/p>

Boost represents the culmination of my journey\u2014a place where each technology and method is understood and appreciated for its role in fostering wellness. We are committed to enhancing quality of life through a deep, physiological understanding of health optimization. This journey has taught me the value of being guided by curiosity and forging deep connections with oneself and others. I’ve come to appreciate the limitless possibilities that arise when we approach life with positivity, graciousness, and generosity. As I continue to learn and grow from each interaction, I remain committed to this ongoing process of enrichment and discovery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
