"When I first met Karen about 20 years ago, I had no idea how much I needed her. I was young, healthy, and athletic; and still I was completely detached from my body. After the first session, I remember looking in the mirror and saying to myself “Is that where my shoulders are supposed to be?” I had been walking around with my shoulders up to my ears and now they where down and relaxed. She is able to completely transform your body with her hands. Even now, after years of regular sessions; I walk out with my neck longer and my feet straighter than when I had walked in. I had a wrist and forearm injury as a child which had been compounded by the repetitive motions that I do at work and turning into carpel tunnel syndrome. She was able to break up the solidified scar tissue and align the tendons and muscles in a way that allowed the bones to relax into a natural position. I fully believe she gave me my arm back and that I would have been headed to surgery if it wasn’t for her unique body work. The Body Mind Integration therapy have been invaluable for correcting what I have put my body through. I shudder to think what shape my body would be in if I had never met Karen. Her Love Goddess massage is phenomenal! She sculpts the muscles and emulsifies the fat and I get up looking 5-10 lbs leaner. I have always battled my weight, and by doing the Love Goddess 3 times a week I was able to achieve the most svelte body of my life. Karen works on multiple levels; healing physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She does not give a massage; she does transformational body work. It has been a privilege to be her client and I credit her with much of the person that I am today."

"I have been a client of Karen Becker’s for 23 years! I first started seeing her when I was pregnant with my first son. She gave me pregnancy massages and we practiced yoga. I was an older mother and wanted to make sure I stayed calm and relaxed and Karen, a mother herself, helped me to feel grounded, confident and strong as I moved into this next important journey in my life. I brought my husband to see Karen for severe TMJ headaches. She performed Temporomandibular Joint Release treatment that gave him both immediate relief and long-term healing. My sons have seen Karen for treatments, as well: one for Body Mind Integration and the other for Craniosacral Therapy. I myself continue to see her to this day. Besides Karen’s obvious gifts to one’s physical well being, perhaps it is more important to know is that she is a truly gifted healer. She comes from a long line of healers and the legacy of her ancestors is in abundance in Karen. She works deeply and intuitively, with great focus and mindfulness. Each and every time I have been seen Karen for a treatment her energy has been positive and uplifting and I always feel amazed when I leave! Her hands heat up with healing energy as she works and her robust laugh is irresistible! Enjoy a treatment with Karen and you will feel amazed, too!"

I've been personally blessed to have been worked on by Karen over the years, and she is truly one powerfully skilled, gifted and authentic healer. I'm humbled to have her in my life, she is a woman filled with amazing wisdom and gifted with a healing touch that transcends what any words could possibly describe!!"

"Karen gifted me a massage one Christmas, and after the treatment, I was curious to know more as this was different than any body-work I had experienced. A couple of weeks later, while hanging Christmas lights, I pulled a muscle in my conducting arm and was in a fair amount of pain. I went to see Karen and she traced the problem to tightness in my jaw, which had traveled down my arm, causing some muscle atrophy. In a short while, the problem was resolved. I then decided to follow her recommended course of ten structural sessions. Each one addressed a different part of the body. As a result of this initial treatment and continued work, my body has been reinvented. I have more of a waistline; I have more freedom in my diaphragm (I’m a singer), and more mobility in general particularly in the neck and sacrum area. I now have flexibility and motion in my right foot that has a large bunion. Before going to Karen, I could barely move my big toe. Following her craniosacral work, I experienced an increase of resonance in both my speaking and singing voice. I actually adapted some of her body alignment techniques to my vocal studio teaching regimen.
At her recommendation, I enrolled in her ten sessions of MLD (manual lymphatic drainage). A few months later, after a difficult personal loss, I began to have digestive issues from the stress of the loss. The preliminary MLD work facilitated improvement with my digestion. But the problems did not disappear. So Karen suggested organ massage. Following this treatment and ministrations from my GI doctor, my system is functioning better than it has in many years.
Karen Becker’s body-work is both unique and cutting edge. Her toxin-release, structural methods keep me feeling younger and moving with ease in my retirement years. My singing voice has a new freedom and breath access following her craniosacral work. Her intuitive skills facilitate integration on a very high level. I am experiencing whole-body health for the first time in my life. It does not get better than this!"
