Laura, Raleigh
I had the best massage of my life with Karen! She’s kind, knowledgable, and incredibly helpful. She really wanted to help me with the issues I was having. She gave it 110%. I’ve told everyone how wonderful she is and will definitely be back!
Iris, Raleigh
Karen is FANTASTIC!! I have been going to her for many years because she is simply the best. She is very thorough and absolutely wants to make sure her client’s issues are always addressed. Her knowledge of the muscles and body and how it all relates helps her target the problem areas as well as other areas that may be impacting or exacerbating the issue. I had a major back injury that can flare and occasionally causes me to compensate in other areas of my body and/or create other issues. Karen always checks in to see what areas I feel need work and then develops a plan to be sure I will get the best massage and walk away feeling both relief and relaxed. I have not experienced any better massage—ever!

I came across Karen’s office by chance as I was leaving another health care provider in the same building. I have been seeing her ever since and am so happy to have found her. As a social worker myself, we bonded instantly. She is very personable with a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience. I trust her completely and look forward to many more years of her massages. She’s keeping me young!!

Karen is the best massage therapist I have ever been to. She listens to your concerns and creates a massage that addresses every issue. She tells you what she is doing and why. She also recommends exercises and stretches to maintain and improve the muscles. She has a wealth of knowledge about health and nutrition and other areas of maintaining wellness.
I have historically had pain and tightness in my shoulders and neck, by the time she is done they are relaxed and pain free. She is the best!

I have been going to Karen for many years. I went to two different doctors about pain in my wrist and they just handed me a brace. Karen was the one who actually fixed it by finding a problem with a muscle in my neck!! She has been able to work out all manner of aches and pains for me over the years but takes the time to explain what she is doing and why. It’s fascinating!!
