With a professional background in Human Resources, Karen Ciandella brings more than 20 years of both corporate and entrepreneurial success to her work as a coach. Karen, who was already a successful life coach prior to beginning her extensive training with the Ford Institute for Integrative Coaching in 2004, has led numerous Transformational Workshops and classes  and now serves as a mentor for other coaches-in-training for the Ford Institute.  In addition to being a certified Master Integrative Coach, Karen is the owner of Inspire One Coaching and has developed The Coach is Within™ model of coaching. Committed to the advancement of the life coaching profession, Karen was a founding member of The Coaches Studio™, an organization focused on the continuing education and enrichment of coaches, clients, and business leaders.  She is presently completing her Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology through the University of Santa Monica.

 

Karen discovered the work of Debbie Ford and Integrative Coaching at a profound turning point in her life: Simultaneously in 2004, her marriage of 15 years came to an end, she became seriously ill, and she made a significant career change. Not only was her sense of identity and place in the world radically altered when her marriage ended, but she was faced with the possibility of dying—all of which sent her on the search to discover the true meaning of her life. Attending her first Shadow Process at this time proved to be a life-changing decision. It was in facing and embracing her anguish, fear, and hurt that Karen was able to find the deep, internal source of power to reinvent her life and embrace her real purpose. It was time to use what she had lived and learned to support other people in creating lives of joy and triumph. 

 

From corporate executives and entrepreneurs to single parents and grandparents, Karen expertly guides people to move through internal blockages—such as anxiety, fear, overwhelm, discontent, or a lack of vision—in order to access the confidence, clarity, self-acceptance, and enthusiasm that will fuel them in creating a life of success and fulfillment. Having nurtured positive and loving relationships with her ex-husband, three grown children, and grandchild, one of Karen’s specialties is navigating relationship changes and cultivating intimacy. Deeply understanding the “empty nest syndrome” and the catalyst for change that it is, Karen also specializes in coaching people through mid-life transitions and rediscovering life as a great adventure. Her clients have achieved remarkable breakthroughs in the areas of health, career, spiritual development and life purpose.
