I understand what it's like to have chronic pain and I have felt the frustration of western medicine's protocol to push for the use of pharmaceuticals to mask pain instead of solving the problem.  My goal is to introduce Alternative Care modalities to complement Western Medicine.  I encourage my clients to drive their own healthcare and seek answers and solutions to their ailments to achieve better wellness outcomes.

In 2007, I had the opportunity to live in England for a short time and there found my way back to the healing arts specifically with energy healing and received a 2nd Degree Certification in Reiki.  In March of 2011, I graduated with highest honors from Everest College of Massage.  I have my own massage studio in Vancouver’s beautiful Uptown Village where I have won the Best of Vancouver - Massage for 5 consecutive years.  

My passion is to customize treatment sessions for each individual's needs using a variety of modalities such as Swedish Relaxation Massage, Manual Ligament Therapy, Therapeutic Massage, Massage Cupping, Hot/Cold Stone Therapy, Reiki Energy and Sound Healing.   

I am committed to serving people on their holistic journey to better health and wellness through massage and energetic healing. I also accept most insurance plans for my services.

Probably the best massage I’ve ever had. Highly recommend. I had the Raki massage and could really feel the difference!

I highly recommend Karynn and the 90 minute massage. For years I used to have the 60 minute massage but now I'm a fan of the 90 minutes. It takes me to a deeper level of relaxation that I never new was possible. Thank you!

Karynn is the best! She does such a great job of addressing all of my areas that are tense that I leave feeling so relaxed! She has even set up an entire years worth of appointments so I always have a spot on her books! She is amazing!!!
