Therapeutic Healing
About Karen
Trust in the magic flowing through your heart to your hands
After graduating from Maryland Institute for Massage in Catonsville Maryland in 2009 and becoming Nationally Certified, I am currently a Maryland State licensed LMT with 15 years of experience.
Modalities that I practice include Neuromuscular, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Rossiter, Myofascial, Trigger Point Therapy, Sports, Oncology, Light Touch Compassionate Care, Cupping, GuaSha, Table Thai Stretching, PNF Stretching, CR Stretching, Full Body Stretching, Synergy Hot Stone and Reiki.
I am very spiritual and compassionate in nature and believe in a holistic approach to pain relief, suffering and the journey towards wellness. My goal is to have each client reach a balanced, peaceful and relaxed state of mind/body after each customized session and establish a plan going forward to continued wellness. My belief is that wellness comes from identifying all of the contributing factors in life such as work/job, sleep patterns, nutrition, posture, emotional, physical and mental stressors that affect the human body and create gentle changes that lead you back to a state of homeostasis or wellbeing.
About Kristin
EveryBODY Needs to be Kneaded
I am a Nationally Board certified therapist and a member of the American Massage Therapy Association with over 30 years of experience. Holding current licensure in Maryland, Florida, Virginia, and Indiana, my focus is on my clients' holistic wellness.
I believe that achieving the best wellness involves using different methods. I have focused my career on learning various techniques, including LuminEssence Facelifting Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Pregnancy Massage, Cupping, Reflexology, and Trigger Point Therapy. As a Reiki Master, I also include energy healing in my sessions.
I am currently working on my certification in Zero Balancing to explore new wellness pathways for my clients.
I focus on personalized care for each client. Since everyone has different needs, I customize sessions by using various methods to improve your well-being.
While I may recommend specific modalities based on my insights, I respect your understanding of your body's needs. Unless medically advised otherwise, I strive to incorporate the services you desire to create a personalized wellness experience tailored to your preferences.
My focus is primarily Deep Relaxation massage and Zero Balancing.
Relaxation massage is a therapeutic practice that works systematically to soothe the nervous system, enhance body awareness and consciousness, regulate blood pressure effectively, and significantly reduce feelings of anxiety. This state of tranquility fosters an environment in which the body's various systems can function more harmoniously, ultimately promoting overall wellness and balance. Additionally, Relaxation Massage has been shown to be particularly effective in managing various autoimmune disorders, treating repetitive use injuries that come from daily activities, addressing postural distortions, and mitigating discomfort and pain associated with soft tissue injuries.
Zero Balancing can help relieve body aches and pain, release restrictions in movement, and provide lasting relief from emotional distress to improve overall quality of life. Zero Balancing can also be helpful with specific goals such as relief from back pain, improving concentration or sleep, releasing unwanted stress, eliminating old behavior patterns, or boosting well-being. Zero Balancing works in conjunction with medical therapy and is not a substitute for it.
