Karen is wonderful—sympathetic, professional, and truly dedicated to her work. It was a pleasure and a great relief to spend time in her calming space. She is incredibly patient and genuinely cares about her clients.

I started to see Karen after a postpartum trauma to do craniosacral therapy. It has been an amazing experience to heal what happened to me during baby girl delivery. An important part has been to heal the connection with my baby girl through my therapy. My baby girl has been with me during my sessions with Karen, and it has been so important to heal also my baby girl trauma from the delivery too. I recommend 100% to work with Karen.

Karen has been a crucial healer in my recovery from some of my most serious injuries. After dislocating my shoulder, I diligently went to a physical therapist twice a week. While I made some progress, my range of motion stagnated, and the sessions were excruciating—it didn't feel right. My shoulder was tense and felt like it was being re-traumatized. That's when I started seeing Karen.

On my first visit with Karen, my range of motion increased by 20 degrees. She operates with deep knowledge and nuance. I experienced no pain from her treatment and made rapid progress in regaining my full range of motion. She also helped calm the nerves to quiet the pain.

Years later, I returned to her in serious, consistent pain. The very first session brought significant relief. My pain was down and emotionally I felt more like myself. Karen tunes into my energy and provides remarkable support. She is grounded and effectively channels energy for whatever type of healing I’m seeking.

CranioSacral Therapy has been a huge gift in my life. It’s one of the most gentle and highly transformational modalities out there that tunes into your inner wisdom, the stuff that’s not conscious in everyday life. When you’re fortunate to receive the work with a therapist like Karen, you feel safe and held with the utmost respect and TLC minus any people pleasing merging. I highly recommend choosing Karen to be part of your self-care team. If you’re open and observant, you won’t miss the subtle shifts that occur after each session and weeks later. Now’s a good time as any to feel worthy of making this investment in yourself. I appreciate the opportunity to buy a package and to use the option of “Pay in 4” via PayPal. This makes budgeting a lot easier and empowers me to plan wisely. Thank you Karen for being the kind influence and witness that I needed as I healed from burnout. 🩷 You intuitively knew that I respond best to a grounded container with plenty of space to just be me.

Karen is a uniquely gifted physical therapist and a dedicated healer of others. For nearly 20 years, I have seen Karen at different times for various injuries, including pulled muscles, muscle stiffness that did not yield to massage treatment, an imbalance in my gait, and other ailments, all of which she treated successfully, restoring balance and function in my body. Karen brings calmness, humor, deep knowledge of the body's mechanics and energy, and a listening approach that focuses on what the patient needs, whether it be traditional orthopedic manual therapy or a different approach. All of my family members have also seen Karen. And I have recommended her to numerous friends and colleagues. Karen is the real thing.

I am so glad I found Karen! With severe scoliosis since childhood, I have lived with a chain reaction of musculoskeletal issues my whole life, and despite dozens of times in PT trying to fix targeted areas, I finally feel that Karen has the right holistic approach to what my body needs. After only a two months working with Karen, I’m already noticing more balance in my body. I look forward to the deep relaxation I get during my sessions, and feel that lasting longer and longer after each session as my body is slowly retrained.

Working with Karen has been an absolute gift and I cannot recommend her as a craniosacral therapist more highly. She has a remarkable sense of intuition for your physical and emotional well-being, and adapts her care to your needs. Her treatment has been the only one that improves my POTS symptoms, and I only wish I wasn't moving away so I could work with her longer!

Updating my review after working with Karen for almost a year. Karen is a one in a million medical professional who has helped me heal from all kinds of things I thought would stick with me for life using her unique and extensive skill set. On top of that, she’s just a great person to be around. See her!

Karen is a lovely person and an excellent professional. I’ve been seeing her for about a month and am already happy with the results.
