Introduced to Reiki in 1995 and Jin Shin Jyutsu in 1996, Karen has a deep passion and belief in both of these Japanese Arts. Jin Shin Jyutsu is a lifetime study of which Karen commits herself to by attending a regular study group and continuing education classes.
The pathway of Eastern Arts eventually led Karen to become a massage therapist. In 2002 she attended The Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy in Colorado Springs and graduated top of her class. Karen has had a private practice in Woodland Park since 2003. Karen's approach touches every aspect of wellness.
Through her knowledge and education, Karen helps restore balance to her clients. In addition to massage therapy techniques, her 'toolbox' includes structural analysis, isometrics, hot stones, and Young Living essential oils.
