Bodywork to make your life better.

Since 2002, I have been dedicated to providing professional bodywork grounded in kindness and respect for each person's unique experience and expression of being in a body. My clients seek me out for pain relief, injury rehabilitation, increased mobility, body awareness, relaxation, and spiritual rejuvenation. I work together with my clients to make sure they leave feeling like they were heard and got the level of pressure and service they needed.

Since 2002, I have been dedicated to providing professional bodywork grounded in kindness and respect for each person's unique experience and expression of being in a body. My clients seek me out for pain relief, injury rehabilitation, increased mobility, body awareness, relaxation, and spiritual rejuvenation. I work together with my clients to make sure they leave feeling like they were heard and got the level of pressure and service they needed.


I love the work I do and consider it sacred work. I truly believe that when we are in tune with our bodies we have a better quality of life, are more in touch with our creativity and life purpose, and make choices that create better communities, better relationships with ourselves, each other, and the world we live in.

Visit me in my beautiful and peaceful studio in the Longfellow Offices in South Minneapolis. I'd love to work with you. Please reach out to see if I am accepting new clients.

Holistic Bodywork Therapist

I have been practicing full time in the field since 2003 un many different settings. Over that time I have spent tens of thousands of hours working with different bodies experiencing challenges to be addressed by massage and skillful manual manipulation. I am certified in therapeutic massage, shiatsu, Thai massage, H.A.R.T. Method, and have done trainings in BodyMind centering, Spring Forest Qi Gong, CORE Synchronism, and spiritual healing. I am always fine tuning my skills and adapting to meet my clients needs and do work that feels significant and profound.

Karen is such an intutive healer. I'm always so grateful for the ways she has empowered and cared for my body over the years. I feel supported in explaining what my body needs and she is always down to tend to me in body and heart.

Karen is skillful, observant, respectful, and attentive! Especially appreciated her knowledge around prenatal massage (and the masterful use of bolsters to keep my body comfortable and supported).

Super thorough communication

Karen has such a calming presence about her and her space is easy to rest in. Each experience is a little different, which I love. She's very communicative and nurturing and I feel 100% comfortable during our time together!
