Now, I'm here to listen and understand YOUR STORY and give you my undivided attention to help you resolve your concerns.
After years of severely debilitating chronic head pain and finding no answers, diagnosis or relief in sight, I fell into gloom and hopelessness. Craniosacral therapy provided me the platform to launch into a pain free life. My curiosity and inspiration led to my dedication to learn the craft. Finding the courage to explore new paths that align with my personal journey and resonate with clients facing similar health challenges became my passion.

Story...
Your guide on your journey to a co-creative, dynamic relationship with profound well-being.
Hi, I'm Karen
Years ago, I faced unbearable pain that made it impossible to stand without clutching my head. Desperate for answers, I consulted top specialists in Neurology, Orthodontics, and Immunology, and underwent countless tests including X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, and encephalograms. I tried chiropractic care, acupuncture, diets, and meditation.
While relieved to not have a tumor, aneurysm, or embolism, I was left in excruciating pain and frustration. After three years, a neurologist suggested I see a psychiatrist, telling me, “There is nothing wrong with you.”
Everything changed when I met Dallas Hancock, a chiropractor who also practiced Craniosacral Therapy. During a two-hour session, Dallas asked, “What happened to the left side of your face?” His question triggered a memory of a horseback riding accident at age 13, when a horse’s head struck mine with full force, knocking out my left front tooth.
my journey to optimal well-being
Healer, heal thyself...
Dallas identified that my cranial bones were compacted, and my maxilla was jammed into my sphenoid bone. When he released these bones and made several adjustments, my pain vanished and has never returned. This transformative experience ignited my passion for bodywork.
Inspired by the profound relief I felt, I immersed myself in learning. As a personal trainer trained by the YMCA and the American College of Sports Medicine, I delved into stretching and fascia. This journey led me to become a Licensed Massage Therapist and to study Rolfing, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Craniosacral Therapy.
Today, I work with clients from all walks of life—seniors, young adults, children, and high-level athletes—addressing chronic or acute pain, dysfunction, post-concussion symptoms, trauma, and injuries. I also help those seeking to enhance athletic performance, manage aging, boost immunity, and improve overall wellness.

After co-owning my clinic, Palms Therapeutic Centre in Nassau, Bahamas for 25 years and raising my two beautiful boys, I moved back to Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.

2020
Moved to the Cariboo, British Columbia. My home clinic is nestled in the forest over-looking a valley surrounded by nature and tranquility. So grateful for the incredible people I get to meet and treat, my passion about my work, hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, gardening and growing food.

2021-2023
Settling into a new and simple life, I find myself so fortunate to able to continue my studies online. Someone asked me if I was “retired”, I smiled and mentioned, “the thought has never occurred to me!!”
“I am the best I have ever been, why would I stop?” and “ there is so much more to learn and apply!”
Worked in two clinics in Vancouver. Discovered the mountains, hiking and sea kayaking.

2024
I love working out of my home and am delighted that clients seem to love the space.I venture to the town of Williams Lake once a month to work in a beautiful clinic there. I enjoy meeting so many beautiful people from all walks of life.

Hello
Meet Karen
My work “Craniosacral Unwinding” is a gentle, holistic, non-invasive approach that combines the techniques of Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release. Through a process of deep listening, I feel the whole body structure for fascial restrictions, then engage the tissue with a “light touch,” noticing the form my hands are drawn into. I wait, then follow the tissue as it self-corrects, i.e. release its own tension.

The 3-dimensional fascial network responds and self-corrects when “listened to,” not forced or pushed. The Craniosacral “touch” is the perfect pressure and interface to facilitate this self-correction. The body knows what to do. I just need to connect, trust, follow, then witness the tissue do a sacred unwinding dance to fascial freedom!
