“Karren is a gem. As an athlete I wouldn’t recommend any other therapist. I was having shoulder problems from over-use that were so severe that I was losing sleep and it was interfering with my training. I couldn’t afford to stop training, but Karren was able to rectify the issue with just four sessions once a week. She understands the big picture of the way the body works and has developed her own system for treating the actual problem and not only the symptom. She gave me stretches to do independently, as well as treatment. Within a month I gained full motion back in my shoulder and was able to continue training through out the entire process. Each week just made it better! Highly recommend her for people with an active lifestyle or people who work long hours and are feeling the brunt of it (I also tattoo.) Thank you Karren for your knowledge and expertise, you were able to keep me working and still solve the problem, plus I sleep through the night now. Mahalos.”

"I go to Karren as part of my recovery regimen. I do strength training 5-6 days a week and go to jiujitsu a few times on top of that. I also have an intense job that requires a lot of sitting and typing so I need bodywork for my occupational situation as well. I go to Karren because she fixes things with a methodical and evidence based approach. She is a technical expert in kinesiology based on how she communicates with me. Karren gives me confidence with her bed side manner and language that she uses to explain why she is employing certain methods. The bottom line is that she always delivers, I feel like she fixed certain issues that we talk about. Some of the sessions, I present her with specific areas we need to work on. She combines judgment and intuition based on her experience with evidenced-backed techniques to create a customized session that fulfills my needs. I have had issues with my forearm tightness and strain over the last couple of years which was debilitating at times to the point of temporary paralysis. She suggested contemporary cupping where she used silicon cups to first massage the area. Then while the cups were secured in place she enhanced the treatment by adding dynamic stretching. I feel that her services enable me to be as active as I am. If you are an athlete/ very active person seeking professional service Karren is a perfect match. If you are seeking something less sophisticated, I believe she will also do a great job and you will walk away happy but you just won’t be able to appreciate her as much as I do on how much she knows her shit!"

"As someone who played high impact sports for many years, chronic back and knee pain is the norm. One session with Karren and I felt like I gained 10 years back with results that lasted. Her in-depth knowledge of your muscles allows her to stretch and relax areas you did not even know were tense. Even though I moved away, every time I visit I make her my first stop. 10/10- she never disappoints. While I could rave forever, you just need to try it out for yourself, I promise you won’t regret it."

“Hands down the BEST massage I’ve ever had! Karren has amazing technique and some unique tricks that really helped ease muscle tension and range of motion for me. There were definitely moments when I could have fallen asleep but for the most part, this massage is therapeutic and focuses on relieving aches and pains. I walked out of her clinic feeling like I was walking on clouds and had the best workout the following day. I highly recommend a massage with Karren - she’s awesome!”

“As a professional MMA fighter, I've been through a lot of great massage therapists. Up until recently before I made the switch to Karren, I was actually seeing another extremely skilled medical massage therapist. But as good as she is, I decided to go with Karren not only because of her knowledge and skill level. But also because of her ability to asses the situation. Make adjustments accordingly to her clients needs and her constant attention to detail. She's willing to try new things that she's continually learning to better herself, so that she can in return help to heal and strengthen her clients. It's the best decision I've made for my professional fight career. I know because of her help, my longevity as a fighter will be prolonged.”
