Karen Urwin LMT, MLD, VM, CST

Personal Statement

My interest in bodywork began in 1989 while living and traveling through Southeast Asia. I was introduced to traditional healing practices that emphasized the deep connection between physical, mental, and emotional well-being. That experience shaped the foundation of my work and instilled in me a lifelong respect for the body’s ability to heal.

My work is shaped not only by formal training but also by my personal experience living with chronic conditions. That journey deepened my respect for the body’s resilience and continues to guide how I support others in their healing process.
