Co-Founder & Life Mentor
Hi, I am Karen Chaston, when Lauren (a client) visited her doctor for a routine check-up, the transformation was immediately noticeable. “What have you been doing? You seem different—taller, radiant and evidently more confident,” her doctor remarked, impressed by the changes. Following this observation, the doctor decided to reduce Lauren’s anti-depressant dosage.
This moment was a significant affirmation for me; it underscored the effectiveness of the Chaston Centre programs, which are designed for embracing life and love daily, advocating for a balanced approach across the Chaston Centre’s four pillars, aimed at helping individuals to navigate and transcend loss, with newfound clarity and reduced anxiety.
Though unfortunately I did not always have this “beyond loss” wisdom…………
My career trajectory was firmly within the corporate sphere, where I juggled the demands of work, family life and the trappings of success, all while coping with the mounting stress that these responsibilities entailed. This relentless pursuit was abruptly interrupted in July 2011 by the devastating loss of my 27-year-old son, Dan, an event that took place tragically at my back door.
In the aftermath of Dan’s funeral, I returned to my role as a Chief Financial Officer, immersing myself in work with even greater intensity and seeking refuge in unhealthy coping mechanisms. This period of my life was marked by a profound disconnect from my own well-being, a pattern that persisted until a transformative wake-up call came in the form of redundancy 15 months later, as a result of a company merger.
This unexpected turn of events offered me a pivotal moment of reflection, leading me to confront the stranger in the mirror and embark on a journey of self-discovery. It was during this time that I felt Dan’s presence and guidance more strongly than ever, inspiring the creation of The Chaston Centre. Together, we developed initiatives that encompass programs, webinars, books, podcasts and TV shows, all designed to share the wisdom gained from my transformation.
At the core of The Chaston Centre’s mission and its programs is my own transformative journey—from a life once marked by routine and neglect of self-care, to becoming a beacon of hope and renewal as an internationally recognised expert on overcoming loss, a bestselling author and a global speaker. Every chapter of my life, with its highs and lows, joys and sorrows, has equipped me with invaluable insights and the wisdom needed to ensure that no one else has to find themselves alone, struggling to rise from the depths of despair and navigate through the aftermath of a devastating loss. My experiences serve as the foundation from which I offer guidance and support, helping you to rebuild a life filled with hope, purpose and vibrancy.
My guiding principle is simple yet profound: “Life is too fleeting to be held captive by any form of loss. Discover the blessings within and design a life that is both lived and loved, each and every day.”
Devas Being Divas LIfe Mentor
I’m Lesley Benson, the founder of Devas Being Divas. I’ve always had an intuitive knack for transformation, healing and mysticism. From a young age, my grandmothers noticed my ability to perceive and help others with their everyday challenges, encouraging their friends to consult with me. This early recognition laid the groundwork for my practice as it stands today.
Despite venturing into the conventional healing world of dentistry for a while, my innate ability to understand both the said and the unsaid steered me back towards my true calling as a co-facilitator in helping people create more fulfilling lives.
Life, as I’ve come to learn, doesn’t follow a straight path. It’s filled with unexpected turns and challenges. My own experiences of love, loss and self-discovery have equipped me with a unique set of skills, rituals and daily practices. I now share these tools with others, empowering them to craft the lives they truly desire.
In 2019, I founded Devas to provide a space for both women and men to retreat, reflect and explore unfulfilled desires—the kind of bucket list adventures they never pursued because they lacked companionship. We’ve travelled to Mexico and Europe and though the world has seen significant changes, we’re excited to revisit these destinations, including Spain and the U.K., to continue our journey of self-discovery and to turn those long-held dreams into reality.
Like many, my life has seen incredible highs and devastating lows. I’ve experienced the joys of marriage, the pain of divorce, the challenges of single parenthood and the brink of financial ruin and homelessness. Navigating these hardships while also being there for my child, particularly during the illness and passing of their beloved grandmother, took an immense emotional toll.
The rollercoaster of emotions, the moments of utter despair and the feeling of falling apart were overwhelming. But through it all, I discovered that the pieces I thought were irreparably broken had somehow come together in a way that transformed me.
My guiding principle is to always follow your own North Star. While this may not always mean you are understood by all those around you, my personal journey has led to deep understanding of myself and those close to me. It has led to personal growth, sometimes through perseverance, resilience and sheer tenacity yet it has led to a life I love. Fulfilling relationships and friendships that allow me to be the person I am and the person I wish to be with honesty and integrity.
I look forward to sharing these principles with you to obtain the same in your life.
Together we make a bigger difference.
You’re just one decision away from profoundly transforming your life after divorce.

After watching one of Karen’s videos, I was convinced and ready for Karen to help me over all the losses that I was going through at the time. I had recently separated from my husband of 13 years and was trying to work out how to deal with my young son in amongst this all. I was also grieving the loss of my mum and my stepfather. My son, was my top priority, keeping him happy was my #goal, so I wanted to start with Karen’s program and see if she could help me work through all that was going on in my life.
She took me on a step by step, I guess challenge in a way, because I did find it very challenging to go through these steps but at the same time it was changing the way I thought about my divorce, my son, my mum and step-dad’s passing. It changed the way that I grieve and how I get through things.
Once I put the work in and you have to kind of do that to get the benefits from what she is guiding you through. It became so easy to understand and now I can move on from for instance I got the loss of my mother and the things that I grew up with around her and the things that were good and bad about our relationship and I got that out of my system.
I also did the same process regarding my ex-husband.
I guess you could say, that knowing now how to go through the process of any form of loss that may come into your life, I can get through anything, just by following the steps that Karen has given me. So, I just can’t thank her enough. I think anyone should give it a go because it really is something that will change your life and for the better.
So best of luck everybody and please get in touch with Karen.
She’s wonderful thank you.
~ Anna
PS: My son is growing, happy and thriving. We have a very close relationship and I love the man he is becoming.
Karen, a friend of a friend, instantly clicked with me, when we had met a few years back.
So, when I found myself sleeping on my 21-year-old son’s couch due to my husband changing the locks and freezing most of my financial assets, my friend suggested I reach out to Karen.
I am so grateful that I took her advice.
Karen’s program has been an incredible journey for me. I am genuinely excited about what lies ahead as I continue through this process.
Through Karen’s guidance, I’ve gained profound insights into myself, understanding grief and discovering the silver lining in all that has transpired in my life.
Unlike my experience with my long-standing therapist, Karen’s program has provided me with a holistic perspective on my life and helped me recognise the less-than-ideal decisions that led me to where I am today.
I am truly thankful that I made the decision to invest in myself and embark on this program.
It has breathed new life into me, allowing me to reflect on the events of my 50 years of living and truly understand what has been affecting me. This program has propelled me into a new phase of my life, and for that,
I am immensely grateful.
