Karmen is a seasoned professional with 20 years combined experience working in holistic health as a massage therapist, yoga teacher and wellness consultant. Rooted in a belief in the significance of self-care and natural healing modalities, her journey began at the age of 20 when she crossed paths with a Qi Gong master from China during her college years who introduced her to natural medicine and holistic health. Since that transformative encounter, Karmen has remained dedicated to her path through consistent practice, ongoing study, and active participation in various health-related disciplines while serving her community.

Her teaching journey has taken her to diverse settings, including centers, yoga studios, festivals, schools, and engagements with celebrity clients. Additionally, she has facilitated training sessions and retreats, showcasing her commitment to sharing her knowledge.

She specializes in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and collaborates with physicians for post-operative care, contributing to the recovery of patients. Moreover, Karmen extends her expertise to corporate wellness initiatives to bring wellness into the workplace. She offers a list of modalities and skills in her years committed to this field of holistic health and wellness.
