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 helped flip my breech baby at 36 weeks, and helped spin my persistently OP baby to OA. Karen and the HART method are both incredible!

After getting massages from Karen, I will never go to another person again! She is so caring and her skill level is beyond anyone I have ever gotten a massage from!

Karen is such a gifted healer and massage therapist! After the HART Method abdominal session I felt the best I've felt in months. I have struggled with lifelong IBS type of digestive issues and manage it with diet and other self-care. During my session, Karen used her skills to free up areas in my abdomen and diaphragm that were restricted and causing pain. I woke up the next morning with zero pain in my stomach, for the first time in a long time! Also, when I eat I don't feel extra full and bloated. It feels like my digestive organs are functioning better and I feel more energized. I actually enjoy eating for a change. I look forward to more work to continue this much needed level of healing of my body, mind and soul.

Karen's thoughtful, kind, and patient demeanor and her intuitive feel and high skill level made for a truly wonderful experience.

Karen is an excellent massage therapist and my experience with her H.A.R.T. Method technique was outstanding. I felt so much clearer in my core even days after the session. She also send me follow-up self-care and taught me methods of practice on my own at home. This was a great experience and I cannot recommend it enough.
