A MESSAGE FROM KAREN:
“I am honoured to be a part of the like-minded and professional team at Refined Health & Wellness.  As a retired Primary Care Paramedic of 23 years, I have witnessed many types of injuries and have gained immeasurable experience working with various conditions.  As a Registered Massage Therapist, I now strive to help clients who are experiencing the aftermath of their injuries, with the goal of reducing their stress and improving their overall quality of life.

My skill portfolio includes diverse techniques and certifications including therapeutic, static pressure, myofascial cupping, and relaxation.  I also specialize in TMJ injuries including jaw disorders relating to grinding, clenching, disc displacement, and stress.

As a compliment to my massage practice, I have received my certification as a 500-hr Registered Yoga Instructor (RYI), specializing in Trauma Related Yoga, and am active in living a healthy life through the teachings of Ayurveda.

It is with great pleasure that I work along side you in this journey to health and wellness!"
