Karen Simpson has a gift.

She makes dreams come true.

And just like a fairy godmother, the people who confide in her soon = find=20 their lives turned upside down for the better.

Oh, and she is also a psychic.

Karen has known of her talent from a young age, but it wasn't until = 14 years=20 ago that she did anything about it.

Now, after much soul-searching and years spent gathering experience, = Karen is=20 at peace with who she is and is ready to embark on the next phase of her = life:=20 combining her passion for beauty therapy with clairvoyant readings.

Based at Aloha Body and Beauty at Mooloolaba, Karen offers a = =E2=80=9Cmenu=E2=80=9D of=20 treatments, including a Spa Ritual Reading, which involves a rose quartz = foot=20 bath with a mind, body and spirit balance using therapeutic oils, = Heavenly Halo=20 head massage with aromatic oils and massage, and a Body Bliss = exfoliation that=20 uses warm oil and Himalayan crystal salt body polish with an exotic body = moisturise.

All of the treatments come with the option of a reading.

Combing the two elements is a relatively new concept for the Sunshine = Coast=20 but it has been a natural progression for Karen, who grew up in New = South=20 Wales.

Her infatuation with the beauty industry began early, when she was in = primary=20 school and would sit about plucking flower petals and dropping them into = water=20 to make =E2=80=9Cperfume=E2=80=9D- a process she now realises is the = basis for creating=20 therapeutic oils.

After school, Karen enrolled in a hairdressing course, but later = found it=20 wasn't all she had hoped it would be.

So she started looking for something else and ended up deciding to = study=20 beauty therapy at a college in NSW called Camelot.

=E2=80=9CI love it,=E2=80=9D she said of the 12-month course.

=E2=80=9CI loved to make people feel good about = themselves.=E2=80=9D

Karen found a job at a beauty salon in north Sydney and worked there = for a=20 year before switching to a job behind the Clarins counter at one of the = Myer=20 department stores.

She stayed there for three years =E2=80=9Cgathering different = experiences=E2=80=9D before her=20 life path was altered, albeit briefly.

Karen accepted a job as a receptionist at a dating agency = =E2=80=9Cfor a bit of=20 fun=E2=80=9D.

=E2=80=9CIt was quite a bizarre thing =E2=80=A6 just to try something = different,=E2=80=9D she=20 said.

The phase didn't last long before Karen was back in the beauty = business,=20 opening her own salon in Windsor.

=E2=80=9CI loved the freedom =E2=80=A6 putting together everything = that I learnt and being=20 able to do things my way,=E2=80=9D she said.

The shop remained open for a few years before Karen decided to follow = in her=20 parents' footsteps and move to the Sunshine Coast.

=E2=80=9CI moved up here to change my life,=E2=80=9D she said.

However, it was while she was living in NSW that Karen started to = nurture her=20 spirituality, attending meditation and self-development classes while = still=20 practising beauty therapy.

Karen's first job on the Coast was at a natural therapy clinic on = Brisbane=20 Road in Mooloolaba, where her skills gradually became more pronounced = and she=20 began to accept that part of herself more openly.

=E2=80=9CI started to tap in on a deeper level the talents and = abilities that I had,=E2=80=9D=20 she said.

=E2=80=9CBasically, I can see spirit, or different aspects of = people's personalities=20 that aren't visible to the naked eye.=E2=80=9D

Karen believes everyone has a gift.

=E2=80=9CI try to find what that gift is and help them feel good = about themselves,=E2=80=9D=20 she said.

After the natural therapy clinic, Karen moved around to different = Coast=20 salons, broadening her cultural awareness. At the same time, each of the = salons=20 she worked at incorporated a different cultural aspect, from Thai to = Balinese,=20 Aboriginal and Hawaiian.

=E2=80=9CI've learnt so much from being at different places,=E2=80=9D = she said.

As much as she enjoyed these experiences, Karen felt that a part of = her was=20 missing.

When she was treating a customer, she would often have to bite her = tongue to=20 keep from saying the things that came to her spiritually.

=E2=80=9CI would get all this information about the person that I = couldn't express,=E2=80=9D=20 she said.

When Karen started at Aloha, she was encouraged to contribute a part = of=20 herself to the salon, so the treatments and readings became one.

One of Karen's favourite treatments is the Spa Reading Ritual, where = the feet=20 are soaked in a rose-quartz bath and various oils are added, depending = on what=20 the person needs most.

=E2=80=9CWhen you're sitting at somebody's feet, you feel very = humble,=E2=80=9D she said.

=E2=80=9CSoaking the feet in rose quartz inspires love and = compassion, for self and=20 others.=E2=80=9D

Karen would love to eventually teach what she has learnt to = others.

But for the time being, she is just enjoying finding out who she = really is,=20 and being able to be herself.
