Karena has always been passionately interested in the amazing capabilities of the human body and helping people achieve optimal health! She began her studies of the human body at the University of Northern Colorado where she earned her bachelor's degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Biology. She then expanded her knowledge of well-being at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy, earning her Certificate in Massage Therapy in June 2003. She has since continued her education in Belize, studying under Dr. Rosita Arvigo to learn the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage.

Karena studied to be a birth doula at the Healing Arts Institute in 2007, and recently participated in Midwifery Today’s Massage and Midwifery Conference for additional training! She considers it a huge honor to support women through childbirth and loves seeing them find their inner power and birth with joy!

A Note from Karena:

I believe that every birth is a beautiful and transformational event. My mission is to help each woman realize her own wisdom and power and to have a safe and peaceful birth that she can remember with pride and joy. As a Certified Massage Therapist, I also incorporate massage therapy into my prenatal, labor and postpartum care for the greatest health of mother and child! I hope that you have a fulfilling, empowering and safe birth! Please contact me if I can assist you in any way!
