Kari has kept me up and running literally. I've been a distance runner for 30+ yrs now, not mention bartender, server , catering and other sports I happen to hurt myself doing. she is a vital part of my well being .

I used to see a medical massage therapist elsewhere and I was often left sore for days and sometimes bruised. Kari's technique has done wonders for me! Everyone is different but I am no longer sore for days or generally at all, I look forward to each one of my visits!
