Karen is an orthopedic manual Physical Therapist with 25 years of experience.  She brings to each session her breath and depth of clinical experience, creativity, patience and compassion to provide a unique and progressive program best suited for the patient.  

 

She has a knack at problem solving the most difficult of cases.  Her clinical skills, tenacity, and out of the box thinking have helped many patients out of the most dire of circumstances - impending surgery, difficult post-op rehab, or having had made little progress at another PT clinic.

​

Karen’s strong and safe therapeutic presence, with empathic discernment provide a steady foundation to engage deep long held issues in the body.  She is an Advanced Craniosacral Therapy (CST) practitioner who has an affinity to work with people who are healing from PTSD, and those who would like to release current or past traumas at the physical/ emotional/ generational/ spiritual levels.  CST is a gentle, light touch treatment that tunes into where soft tissue or fluid restrictions reside in the body.  Using touch and dialogue, Karen is able to engage both physical and emotional blockages you may have, then listen to the body's inner wisdom to guide a process that helps with releasing injury and trauma, discovering a new way of being, and integrate this into your daily life.  And with her training as a Distance Healer, she can support you with CST virtually.

 

For 25 years she has furthered her trainings in traditional PT, CST, Healing From the Core, Lymph Drainage Therapy, Continuum Movement, and Visceral Manipulation. She is a Certified Presenter for Healing From the Core, and Certified Healing From the Core Distance Healing Facilitator.  She has taught Healing From the Core Overview one-day workshops and is an active teaching assistant for the Upledger Craniosacral Therapy curriculum.
