She is registered by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, the National Guild of Hypnotists and the National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists. She has specialized as a HypnoBirthing Instructor since 2003.

As a Certified HypnoBirthing® Practitioner, she trained personally with Marie Morgan.

A  HypnoBirthing Instructor With Many Certifications

Karen is a professional coach trained by the Coaches Training Institute. She holds advanced training in Relationships and Systems Coaching. She is certified by the highly acclaimed Robbins-Madanes Training Institute as a Marriage Educator and a Relationship Intervention Specialist. Through this training she provides additional support to parents as the roles in the marital relationship change with the onset of parenting.

Recently, Karen received certification by The Gottman Institute as an educator for the  evidence-based course, Bringing Baby Home. While having a baby is a joyous experience, it is also one of the most taxing phases in a relationship. This course teaches parents essential skills for building healthy family relationships while avoiding the pitfalls of parenthood.

During HypnoBirthing® sessions Karen also employs a simple energy therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that blends perfectly with hypnotherapy. This technique offers help with stress, nausea, and fear during the pregnancy.

Her training in clinical hypnotherapy provides her with the expertise to apply hypnosis to assist in breech turns, and with postpartum recovery issues.

In her full practice Ms. Rothstein specializes in traditional techniques in hypnosis.  She assists clients with symptom removal and behavior modification,  using a deep healing modality.  This model, known as “Transpersonal Hypnotherapy,” is a more in-depth approach to hypnosis which strives for wholeness in body, mind and spirit.

Karen is also a Founder and Co-Director of the Placer Birth Connection, Placer County’s One-Stop-Shop for birthing education and support, bump, birth and beyond.
