Since 1989, I have been deeply involved in the study and practice of advanced bodywork to achieve optimal health and wellness for my clients. My studies in Shiatsu and Thai massage, along with personal experiences, have shown me that health and wellness extend beyond the physical body to include mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe that our bodies possess self-healing capabilities and that massage therapy fosters a holistic environment for this self-healing.
About Karen
With 30 years of experience in therapeutic bodywork, I specialize in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Visceral Manipulation (VM), supporting clients with chronic illness, post-surgical recovery, and overall wellness. My work is rooted in a holistic approach that considers the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of healing.
I began my studies in Tokyo with Shiatsu and Eastern healing philosophies, later expanding to traditional Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand. After returning to the U.S., I earned my Certificate of Massage Therapy from the Boulder School of Massage Therapy and completed advanced MLD training at the Colorado School of Healing Arts. I’ve also trained in Visceral Manipulation through the Barral Institute.
I strive to meet each client’s needs and provide safe, thoughtful, individualized care in a calm and professional environment.
