Since childhood I've had a desire and passion to help others, which is what lead me to a career in healing and more specifically, CranioSacral Therapy and Therapeutic Massage.
Currently I practice CranioSacral Therapy at Island Healing Chiropractic, Oak Island, NC, in addition to therapeutic massage, myokinesthetic therapy, and equine massage. I'm grateful for the opportunity of a career in healing and health, for both people and animals, and I look forward to the many opportunities to share my experience and education with all of you.
From high school I attended Wilson College to receive a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Medical Technology while continuing to ride my horses and study dressage, hunter over jumps, and western pleasure. Following graduation and the state board exam, I practiced as a Veterinary Technician for 7 years before leaving the profession to raise a family of 3 wonderful children.
After several years working as a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser with Siebold Group Consulting, I decided to return to the health care field. In 2009 I took the first of many courses in CranioSacral Therapy, through the Upledger Institute. The practice was so exciting to me that I left our company and went back to college to obtain a degree and license in Therapeutic Massage. During this time I also completed a course to become a Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist through Equissage, completed CranioSacral Therapy II and SomatoEmotional Release I through Upledger, and the certification requirements for CranioSacral Therapy.
Additionally I've studied and practice Myokinesthetics (a soft tissue treatment geared to impact the nervous system with no undressing and no creams or oils) and the Masterson Method of horse massage.
Since 2013 I've completed the BioAquatic Explorations: CranioSacral Therapy class and the BioAquatics Advanced Dolphin Assisted Therapy class. As a primary dolphin assisted therpist in Freeport Bahamas, I've experienced and witnessed the healing benefits of the water and the animals. I look forward to offering water therapy to my clients, both in the ocean and the pool.
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and yours, helping you to reach physical health, wellness, and well-being.
Peace,
Karin
