Karen has lived in the greater Edmonton area her entire life, and moved to St. Albert 15 years ago with her husband to raise their kids.
After many years of caring for kids in the community and then running a small house cleaning business, Karen did what she had always wanted to do and went back to school. Knowing she had always wanted a career in helping people, she quickly zeroed in on massage therapy. With a full-time job, a ten-year-old and a baby on her hip, she happily entered a full time college program. Giving it her all, she graduated top of her class and has been massaging ever since.
Karen is dedicated to helping her clients regain mobility and alleviate pain. Her approach combines technical expertise with a genuine passion for enhancing her client’s overall well-being.
Outside of her practice, Karen enjoys hiking, reading and travel.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of eternity; what would it be?
I could eat a strawberry yogurt parfait for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fresh strawberries, vanilla yogurt and homemade granola ticks every box for me.
Favourite sport to play, favourite sport to watch
I love hiking and spend many hours with my best friend finding the best spots to challenge ourselves. I also recently began weight training and have found so much health and joy in getting stronger! As for watching, it would have to be soccer, most especially when my boys are playing.
Toughest thing you’ve ever done? Would you do it again
For sure it’s having kids. Toughest, most rewarding and absolutely would do it again!
Most adventurous thing you’ve done
I’ve been so lucky to have so many travel adventures. From backpacking through jungles to bungee jumping off cranes to caving with too many bats. I hope to have many more adventures around the world in the future!
Specialty dish in the kitchen
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins! They are my grandma’s recipe and yes there is a secret ingredient. (But I’ve been known to tell anyone who would like to know!)
