"She's good. She's really good. The first thing I noticed is that she's
emotionally mature -- which you would think should be a quality of any
massage therapist, but it's not always. She neither projects a great
deal of either woowoo sanctity around the massage process nor does she
bring the interaction to a chatty place. She's straightforward and
confident and talented, with strong hands, knowledge, and probably the
highest level of responsive listening I've ever encountered in a massage
therapist. I feel like I'm writing her a recommendation, and I suppose I
am."

"Karen is by far my favorite masseuse that I have had. I've been
fortunate enough to have had plenty of massages in my life, but Karen
has been the most attentive and skilled masseuse. As a dancer, my body
is built like an athlete and requires special attention to certain
muscles. Karen was one of the first masseuses that I had had who
actually listened to what I was saying and what muscle areas I wanted
her to concentrate on. She has very strong hands and uses the amount of
pressure that I enjoy. She's not like other massage therapists who just
goes through the motions, but is caring and thoughtful. She has been
massaging me regularly for over four years and I'm really glad to have
found her!"

"If massage is an art, then Karen at Karma Massage is definitely a Master practitioner! I
have been consulting her on a regular basis during the past few months
to help me dealing with lower back pain and tensions. She really knows
how to handle the treatment and how to take care of your body. She is
really a skillful, experienced, knowledgeable and detail oriented
practitioner. She also knows well the difference between the care
provided by chiropractors, physiotherapists or other form of physical
therapy, so she knows what is the best for you and don't feel shy to
recommend alternative options when it's relevant. Prices are reasonable and there is always special offers available."

"I am choosy about where I get a massage and was thrilled to find a
therapist I wanted to go back to. Karen works magic, plain and simple.
Not only does she know her muscle structures and anatomy, but her hands
seem to go straight to those "problem spots" that other LMTs sometimes
don't even find. Karen does not shy away from tough knots or trigger
points. Her technique, while efficient, is also wonderfully relaxing.
She creates a lovely atmosphere and has a very calm demeanor. All a
great combo. She even recommends stretches or postural improvements
(when relevant) at the end of a session, displaying an investment in
your well-being that seems so rare among other massage therapists. And
they've helped! Thank you Karen!"

"Karen's style matches her personality: calm and soothing but focused,
strong, and very effective. She takes the time to find out what you
need, and always delivers. I wish I could see her more often!"

"Thanks Karen for making my week!"

"I have a particular love of Swedish massage and the kind of deep tissue work that requires a very strong therapist. In my experience, very few women have that kind of strength to really 'get in there'. From the very first session with Karen, I was pleasantly surprised by how effectively she couples strength with technique."

Thank you."

"Our weekly massage with Karen absolutely rejuvenates me and leaves Chet ache and pain free and
ready for whatever life tosses our way. Karen's massages also prep us for the best nights sleep one
couldimagine. It is possibly one of the most healthy and enjoyable things anyone could do for
themselves."
