Hello. My name is Karen Koelzer. I'm a wife, mom, grandma, Registered Nurse, Licensed Massage Therapist, and a John Barnes trained Myofascial Release (MFR) Therapist. I’ve been a nurse for 35 years. I’ve enjoyed my career with all its ups and downs, but I often thought that something was missing; that there was more I needed to do to help people. I’ve seen so many people in pain over the years. Many of them were on prescription narcotic pain relievers and many reported little relief and plenty of side effects, not to mention addiction. Like may of you, I’ve had my own share of aches and pains. I’ve been receiving massages for over 30 years and had often thought I would love to learn massage so that I could help people who were in pain; but there was always a reason not to do it. Because of my long-time interest in massage and body work and my desire to help people in pain, I signed up for my first of many John Barnes Myofascial Release seminars. I also went to school to become a licensed massage therapist (LMT). My mission is to help people reduce/eliminate pain and return to a more active healthy lifestyle.
