"My life as a seven-year-old child brought me to learn the benefits of self-care after my mother got really sick. Being the youngest, I was the one at home with her and we started a daily practice of hand, foot, and scalp massages to help her feel better. Then at twenty-three, through my own series of undiagnosable medical issues, I learned how some of my struggles were from physical injuries, while other parts were emotional traumas. These experiences not only shaped the way I listen to clients, but to this day facilitate the way I work with my clients to this day."
Karen Thompson is an experienced massage therapist with an intuitive whole-body approach. Karen graduated from the Muscular Therapy Institute as a muscular therapist in 1994 completing over 1,375 practice hours in medically based massage therapy. Then opened her full-time practice in 1994. Continuing with post-graduate studies in fibromyalgia, compassionate touch therapy, vibrational medicine, integrated energy therapy, Reiki Master and certified Meridian Hatha Yoga teacher.
