Massage is my profession, not a hobby.

People always ask what got me started in massage. At age 20 I began getting chronic migraines. The doctor gave me medications and wanted to do a brain scan. I was so scared.  I told a friend and she suggested massage and chiropractic. Who doesn't like massage, right? After a 30 minute neck massage and cervical adjustment, I was headache free!

People always ask what got me started in massage. At age 20 I began getting chronic migraines. The doctor gave me medications and wanted to do a brain scan. I was so scared.  I told a friend and she suggested massage and chiropractic. Who doesn't like massage, right? After a 30 minute neck massage and cervical adjustment, I was headache free! I was hooked. 

After massage school, I took many continuing education courses focusing on specific ailments and injuries. This passion for focused work led me to open my own massage office. Five years later, I have expanded to add a second therapist.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Meditation services

Karen knew just how to work out the pain and soreness in my neck and back.

Karen is thoughtful, compassionate, and intuitive when it comes to healing trauma in your body.
by Andrea on Mar 25
Karen understands the anatomy of the body. If you tell her where you hurt she is able to focus on the areas of the body that give you pain. I have felt relief after the first massage.

The work on my hamstrings was majorly needed, that’s a sensitive spot for me to be massaged but your methods kept the discomfort to a minimum and relief to a maximum.
by Tom on Oct 04
She was able to find the tight muscles quickly and get the right spots. She knows what she's doing and I found her to be much better than other massage specialists that I've been to.

Karen is very skilled and professional.

Karen really listened to my current sports injury pain and recovery issues. The massage was very therapeutic and benefitted me greatly. I was nervous about the massage, being in pain as I was, but Karen is a pro, and I felt so much better afterwards. Thank you, Karen.
