About Karen Born in Washington, she moved to Oregon in 1992 to attend Pacific University and has remained in Oregon ever since. She enjoys the wide variety of outdoor pursuits this state has to offer. She has enjoyed a part-time private practice for 16 years, while homeschooling her children. She chose this profession because of the satisfaction of seeing improvements in her clients’ health and the flexibility to work part-time. “Some people come here for care after a car accident without ever having a professional massage in the past. It’s such a privilege to offer someone their first impression of the benefits of combining chiropractic care with massage therapy. “ Karen spends her free time adventuring with her kids: hiking, backpacking, camping, snowshoeing, stand-up-paddle boarding and learning about life and the world through travel. She has completed one triathlon and plans to complete at least one per year.
