After graduating from Luther College, Karen taught English in Japan, where she became interested in Shiatsu. Upon returning to Minnesota she studied Shiatsu at the Minnesota Center for Shiatsu Study (now CenterPoint), graduating in July 1994. She has completed 500+ hours of study in Shiatsu Anma, Namikoshi Shiatsu, Anatomy & Physiology, and continues to study and learn new techniques such as Acuhara (like acupuncture but using ion chords and magnets instead of needles), Cupping, Cranio Sacral Therapy, Tuina (Chinese Medical Massage) and additional Shiatsu techniques.
Karen bought the Burnsville Shiatsu Center from a former classmate in 1997. She has been practicing there since 1995. Karen is very active in her community. She's a member of the American Organization of Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA) and Business Network International (BNI).
