Karen has been a certified healing touch practitioner since 2011. She has a passion for educating people on the beneifits of healing touch in the promotion of self care.

I have been working in the professional field of massage therapy/bodywork & energy therapies since1989. Coming from a dance and theater arts background, I eventually moved into the healing and meditative arts. These modalities and studies have been a deepening expression of my personal practice of "experiencing" body, mind, and heart. My intention for this ongoing work is to continue self inquiry and healing, to share life experience and knowledge while assisting clients, students and others on their journeys into health and well being.

I do energy work that goes deep into every cell of your body, balancing your chakras and cleansing your aura for deep spiritual healing. If there are messages that come up during the session, I will share those with you. This session is a powerful way to explore a deeper sense of peace within your own body. I am a light-body energy worker that helps you center, ground, and really know who you are on a deep soul level. Physical issues can also be addressed.
