Karen

My 30+ years of Manual Therapy practice, Post Grad Education training and yoga practice inform my life and work.

What do you need to work on to become healthier and more embodied?

The more I work with people the more I find that I am better able to hone in on problems.

I am able to “listen” better to your body and what you need to heal. When I work with you I will encourage you to breathe into your body as we work through places that are causing pain, restriction and creating less than optimal health. I often suggest yoga postures, stretches or Hydrotherapy for you to do at home to continue the changes made during your session.

I use a combination of techniques including Muscle Energy Technique, Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapies, Stecco’s Fascial Manipulation concepts & Visceral Manipulation depending on what you need to help you feel more mobile.

Since graduating from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy, in Vancouver BC, in 1992, my clinical assessment skills & manual application of the above techniques have evolved.

When not at Trikinetic, I might be found walking in the woods with my lovely dog, in the garden, at a yoga class, skiing, swimming, biking, paddle boarding or kayaking. My favourite vehicle is my very old, but beautiful, pink Kona bike.

In the Fall of 2023 I became a Certified Yoga Teacher (RYT200) and am pleased to offer 1 to 1 yoga sessions. If you wish to develop a yoga practice, or strengthen your current personal practice, a private session will support you in that direction.
These are catered specifically for each individual’s needs. Acknowledging we all have different bodies, goals, challenges, and life journeys, I will support you in your practice.
During a 1:1 we can focus on yoga asanas (poses), alignment, breath & meditation.
I can provide a mat and props if you do not already have them.

I am also excited to now be offering Partner Massage Workshops, with other Trikinetic RMTs. These sessions are for people who would love to learn some skills to help their friends, family and loved ones relieve stress & body pain, with their own hands, at home. Please contact us if you’re interested.

After an amazing & long career, I am only taking new clients by referral through other clients or Practitioners.

I work:
Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays 9 – 5
