For my Williamsburg and James City County peeps. 😍
Some of you may remember Karen Earls or may have been lucky enough to have spent time on her massage table in the past. Karen helped open Purity in 2016 and left in early 2020 to help care for her aging father. She will be back with us at Purity on Tuesday's and every other Saturday starting May 27th. You are able to schedule with Karen online or by giving us a call. For those that have not met Karen I have attached her bio below.
I discovered massage therapy later in life. I’d never even had a professional massage until I was in my late 30’s. Even then, I didn’t consider it as a career choice - I was too busy working in the financial industry. Then someone introduced me to Reiki, which still isn’t massage, but is such a quiet, powerful way of healing that I wanted to start sharing it with the world. I lived in Florida at the time, where a license to touch is required if you want to practice Reiki as a business. To get a license to touch, I could go to nursing school or massage school. Since I’m not fond of blood, my choice was clear. From the first day of Anatomy and Physiology I knew I’d found a new path, and I was eager to follow it through. Along with Reiki, I learned massage styles including Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, and Thai. I graduated in 2010 and completed my Reiki Master training in 2011. After graduating I added certification in Nurturing the Mother (Pregnancy and Postnatal); Bamboo Fusion; Lymphatic Detox; and Integrative Reflexology. Since embarking on this new path, I feel I have changed and grown in ways I never imagined. I look forward to meeting each new client and love seeing my return clients as they begin to relax, breathe, and heal.
I currently live in Gloucester County, Virginia with family and four cats. Only one of the cats is mine - I'm not the crazy cat lady that I sometimes resemble. My interests include music, theatre, coloring, and random artistic efforts. I try to laugh as much as I can, and I hope you do, too!
