How Stress & Anxiety Affect Physical Pain
This week I have created a guest blog entry at https://well-woman-blog.com . The topic is the effects of stress and anxiety on our experience of pain. Visit Gena's site to read my latest blog and to even read some of Gena's other blog entries. Be well.
Back Pain, Prayer and Treating a Loved One
There are good reasons medical professionals don’t treat those closest to them. Ego, relational dynamics, and just deep caring can obscure the objectivity of both provider and loved one, especially the more that is at stake. As you have learned by now, I care very...
The Tension between Frustration and Gratitude
With the holidays past, and a new year rolling along, thoughts on gratitude are not really in season. Still, my thoughts linger there, especially since I had a recent little “aha” moment: I learned it is impossible to be frustrated while simultaneously being grateful....
When Things Break…Healing Can Happen
Sitting on the living room sofa, I heard the crash in the kitchen. Something was now in a million little pieces. “That didn’t sound good,” I teased my husband. “I’m sorry, and it’s irreparable too,” John said remorsefully. And he would know, as he is the master of...
Pontification, Not Pontoons on Vacation
At the end of the evening, I asked John “So I ‘pontificate'?”, repeating back the word he had used with our friends earlier in the evening. He described a recent conversation to them that we'd had with some folks, who had shared their opinions on vaccinations and the...
A Little Bit about Me (Cuz You Asked)
I was asked to share more about myself. “But what do you love? What are you like? Please share that!” Oh, golly. I love lots. 😀 I love laughing. Especially the kind where you’re doubled over, or the tears are streaming down your face. And you’re gasping for air....
Physical Pain: Who to Turn to?
Denise’s sharp leg pain, which was produced by a nerve in her low back, was 100% improved from the previous week. Yet, she was fuming. But not at me. She was frustrated with her medical doctor. “I wish he had sent me to you first.” This was a dramatic change of tune...
How NOT To Be Bitten By A Dog
I was midway to the gate, hurrying to the barrier between me and the snarling dog that was straining against its chain. But then it broke free, hurtling towards me like a rocket. Its sidekick, an annoying Pomeranian that fancied itself bigger than it could ever hope to be, was already nipping at my heels. I didn’t mind that as much as the pitbull-German shepherd mix that was wanting a piece of me.
You Have a High Butt
Or, How Strong Glutes Help Us I was sitting on my Uplift stool, wobbling away on its rounded base while documenting my patient's progress. She was a colleague whose sense of humor was quickly ushering her into friendship territory. Nevertheless, I wasn't prepared for...

Life Success Stories
Karen teaches as she heals! She gives you a whole new outlook on your health, is personable, takes her time in getting to know your health issues. She is a brilliant.
Karen is the best physical therapist I have found. She provided a deeper level of personalized care than I had experienced elsewhere while also providing me the education/tools to continue my progress at home. The fine details and assistance from Karen made all the difference for me. Truly a game changer.
I love her holistic approach. She not only took the time to listen and ask questions to discover exactly what was going on with my shoulder issues, but also took the time to get to know what was going on in my life, and connected the two.
Karen has a healing gift! She listens compassionately, and identified the very root of the problem.
As an outdoor athlete, I can attest to her dedication to her practice, genuine commitment to seeing her patients strong and healthy. She is thoughtful, attentive, communicative, and the definition of a compassionate expert. I cannot recommend her enough.
Karen is hands down amazing. Very professional, kind, and intelligent. She knows exactly what she’s doing and someone I would highly recommend.
Karen has a much deeper approach to treatment; she teaches about how pain works in my brain, as well as how to integrate the mind with the body: changing unhealthy eating, sleeping, and thinking habits in my life. I very highly recommend her to everybody who wants to live an all around healthier life with less pain!
