Meet Karen

Karen realized early on how important the mind/body connection affected healing, and the importance of treating the whole person. She was first introduced to the John Barnes Myofascial Release™ (JBMFR) approach in 1994 after her own back injury at work. Prior to finding a therapist that treated her with MFR, she had tried all the typical therapies where she would get a bit better, but the results didn't last. When she found a clinic that only provided JBMFR, it was THE game changer!  After a series of MFR sessions, she was able to return to all the sports she loved including swimming, kayaking, river rafting and sailing, pain free!! She knew then she had to learn these techniques so she could help others. Karen attended her first John Barnes courses in 1995, and has continued studying under John Barnes and his expert instructors.
 

Away from work, Karen enjoys all things beach. Everything from kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, shelling & strolling along the shoreline. Photography has been a long-time hobby, and she loves exploring new places and listening to live music.
