“What started out as a Christmas gift certificate from my sister, has become a five year relationship with Karen. Twenty-five years as a critical care nurse had taken its toll on my body and spirit. Karen developed a plan using yoga and massage to help relieve chronic neck pain, improve my body mechanics (specific to the caregivers fatigue) and recover from the demands put on me during the week. She has a plan but adapts it to my specific needs when we meet. Each time we meet, I stretch, strengthen and recharge.”

“I was suffering from stress and overexertion. My lower back and shoulders hurt. I had to sleep in the fetal position with a small pillow between my knees, and had trouble moving around. Upon a friends’ urgings and recommendation, I began my healing process with Karen. After several visits my agility improved and eventually I could lie flat on my back again without hurting. I am also comfortable sitting up in bed to read. Currently, I am on a once a month “maintenance program.” This is definitely one of the wisest decisions I’ve ever made.”

“I have been a client of Karen’s for over five years. She has transformed
my multiple muscular problems and postural difficulties from a painful,
heavily medicated situation to very bearable difficulties with little
medication. I recommend her highly intuitive and creative approach. I
feel as if I’ve never had the same massage twice.”
-Missy…A satisfied elderly client
“It had taken me several months of searching and lengthy investigation for someone, whom I considered qualified, to be a real Shiatsu Therapist, which turned out to be Karen. I tried her first session and am now well into my second year with her. Karen is very thorough and in depth with her therapies as well as knowledgeable of deep tissue massage, which helps with sport injury problems. She has helped me with this type of therapy for some long term problems I had with driving fire apparatus and lengthy trips in cars that affect the right knee, leg, calf and thigh. The after affects are amazing and health to those areas improved to, what I consider, normal. I am glad that I have found her and consider her a healer as her therapy is that excellent.
Sincerely,”
