The BIG BETTER

What if the self is a type of machine?
What if it has amazing hidden features?
What if you could activate them and feel better than ever?

IT IS. IT DOES, AND YOU CAN.
All you need is the user’s manual.

WELCOME TO THE BIG BETTER.

We all strive for BETTER.
We invest time and energy, but often we don’t see the results we want. As the cycle repeats, the frustration grows and the goals feel unattainable. The good news is, it only feels that way because we’ve been using tools that don’t match our machinery.

EVEN THE BEST COMPUTERS WON’T WORK UNLESS THE HARDWARE MATCHES THE SOFTWARE.

The Big Better was founded Karen Zila Hayes whose own decades-long struggle with wellness inspired her to become an expert in the field of sensory wellness.

Our cutting-edge programs teach you how to better interpret the sensory data your ‘self’ is sending you, and how to nourish your self with the right sensory nutrition.  We offer private and group sessions that take the guesswork and frustration out of better living, open the doors to positive change and help you design the life you want.

 

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Karen Zila Hayes is a teacher, healer and Innovator in the field of sensory alignment. She is the creator of The BETTER LIVING CODE, a cutting-edge system that promotes better living by addressing 4 facets of wellness:

Sensory, Creative, Natural & Postural (breath/body work).

In addition to being a certified colour therapist and NLP mindset trainer, Karen is one of North America’s leading authorities in the field of Knitting Therapy. She’s been developing creativity-based sensory learning techniques for over 15 years and her work in sensory wellness has been cited in the international press, with references including The New York Times, The Toronto Globe and Mail, and Jornal Pampulha (Brazil).

She is also a multi-media artist whose work includes singing, composing, photography and videography. Her creative endeavors and fascination with the effects of colour and sound on an audience inspired her interest in sensory learning and the effect the senses have on our general well-being.

Karen’s interest in wellness started young when a mystery illness left her with long-term damage.

 

Karen's Healing Story - READ MORE

“As a child, a mystery illness left me with damaged lungs, underdeveloped muscles and suboptimal health with a list of limitations and no rehabilitation options.

Eventually, I began exploring and developing strategies of my own. I discovered that if I understood my machine in a different way, I could create a new set of commands that prompted it to perform better.

I corrected the physical and mental misalignments I had lived with for years, and left exhaustion, depression and poor health behind. Today, I love helping others do the same. The beauty of this work is that, wherever you’re at, our simple methods will make you feel BETTER!”

PRESENT NATURE

We’ve all know about the power of living in the now, but it’s one thing to know it and another to do it. Passive meditation styles that try to help us clear the mind may leave us even more frustrated.

We all know it’s great  to stop and smell the roses, what if we could use nature every day to make our lives richer?
PRESENT NATURE:

 

R

Trains you to cultivate a 'present-moment' mindset and connect more deeply with yourself, others and the real-time energy of the world around you.

R

Demystifies the concept of being in the 'now' by using the magnificent power of nature as a gateway to the present.

R

Teaches you how to check in with each of your senses, and experience presence in a multi-sensory way.

While other programs passively lead you into nature, PRESENT NATURE leads nature into you. Our active engagement methods and simple practices will  show you  that you’re not only ‘in’ nature you ‘are’ nature!

BARBARA DOUGLAS, VANCOUVER

“I absolutely love PRESENT NATURE.  I’ve been a nature lover and a meditator for many years, but when I started practicing these techniques, it broadened my understanding of both. I’m not only sleeping better and less anxious, I’m reacting less to stressful situations and enjoying life and the world around me in a deeper way.”

ARRIA DEEPWATER, PERTH

“Karen is remarkably gifted. She connects deeply with each person she works with, offering support and insight with honesty, wisdom and love. She has an unparalleled ability to tap into a creative energy and inspire others.”
