Our Namesake 

Pincone-Only_Transparent.png

The Pinecone has been a sacred symbol throughout history, in cultures all around the world. It is considered by many to be our biological Third Eye, the "Seat of the Soul”, the “Sacred Seed”, the “Epicenter of Enlightenment”. Our pineal gland, shaped like (and named after) the Pinecone, is at the geometric center of our brain and is intimately linked to our body’s perception of light. The pineal modulates our wake-sleep patterns and circadian rhythms.

Karin is a holistic practitioner who incorporates her creativity and intuitive gifts with her life experience and certifications in Massage (including Thai, Lomi Lomi, TMJ, and Maya Abdominal), Yoga (600+ hours of training), Yoga Nidra, Meditation (davidji Meditation Academy), Spinal Flow®Technique, Reiki (with William Lee Rand), Breathwork (Erin Telford), Sound Healing (Gong yoga therapy with Mehtab), and Myofascial Cupping.

Karin became a yoga teacher and reiki practitioner in 2013, and began her massage therapy career in 2016. Karin is a graduate of the 2200 hour Massage Therapy program at Vicars School of Massage Therapy and has been practicing massage therapy in spa and clinic environments since 2017. A lifelong participation in athletics exposed Karin to the benefits of sports massage. Kinetic, orthopedic, and TMJD massage form a large part of her massage practice.

Karin draws upon all of her experiences and modalities to craft a personalized treatment to support each client exactly where they are. All of the modalities she uses have ancient roots. She draws upon the wisdom of the ancients to weave together many tools to address and support the whole person.

In 2019 Karin studied Somatic Stress Release (with Dr. Scott Lyons) to address trauma stored in the body. In 2023 Karin pursued training in Spinal Flow® Technique, Maya Abdominal Massage (with Dr. Rosita Arvigo) as well as a Hakomi Introductory Workshop on a Somatic Approach to Working with Trauma. All of her modalities facilitate the release of trauma in a safe and informed manner.
