For almost 10 years, Karen Mills has dedicated herself to helping people overcome stress, anxiety, loss and a wide range of personal and professional challenges. Today, she is recognised as a leading NLP Practitioner and Occupational Health Consultant, with a reputation for transforming the wellbeing and performance of individuals and entire organisations.
Karen, from Cheshire, has just launched a new 6 week NLP programme designed to transform lives and workplaces, but Karen’s journey into Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) began long before she founded her thriving business, Zen Occupational Health. It started with a deeply personal chapter of loss — and a life-changing discovery that reshaped both her future and the futures of thousands of others.

A Life-Changing Discovery in the Midst of Loss
Karen discovered NLP 20 years ago following the death of her mother. Like many people navigating grief, she sought out counselling and therapy, hoping to find something that would help her move forward. While valuable, they didn’t create the profound shift she was searching for. That transformation came when she encountered Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Within just six sessions, Karen experienced a powerful breakthrough. NLP not only helped her process her grief — it removed long-standing fears, emotional blockages, and unhelpful patterns she had carried for years. The impact was so profound that she knew she had found something extraordinary. Karen went on to earn a Diploma, followed by full NLP Practitioner certification, committing to mastering the tools that had made such a difference to her own life.

From Nursing to Leading Workplace Wellbeing
Before launching her business, Karen spent years in healthcare as a nurse and hospital ward manager, where she saw firsthand the pressures, burnout and emotional strains faced by individuals in demanding roles. Driven by a passion for prevention rather than crisis response, she founded Zen Occupational Health.
Through her consultancy, she assists with staff wellbeing while helping businesses effectively manage sickness and absence. Working with SMEs and larger organisations, Karen supports employers in creating healthier, happier workplaces. But it is her groundbreaking integration of NLP into occupational health that has set her apart as a true innovator.
