Meet the Therapist

Growing up I was always fascinated by the body’s amazing abilities and to self-heal and adapt.  After suffering from chronic migraines, as an adolescent, I sought out the help of a massage therapist in my hometown.  It just so happened that this therapist specialized in Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy®.  I was instantly hooked and found myself returning regularly, not only for the benefits, but for more information!

 In 2002 I graduated from Alexandria School of Scientific Therapeutics, in Alexandria, IN with the advanced certification in PDMT®.  Immediately following graduation I went on to own and operate a clinic at home before selling a few years later to move to Bloomington, IL.

 After moving I was looking to further my education in the natural healing profession and became a Chiropractic Assistant for Kabir Center for Health.   I fell in LOVE with Chiropractic’s philosophy and have made it my mission to properly educate my clients and community the importance of living a healthy lifestyle!  Since joining the practice we’ve conjoined the two services (PDMT® & Chiropractic) the results have been miraculous!  They have an amazing synergistic relationship which allows each individual to heal at a much faster rate...who wouldn't want that, right?!

 In 2010, I resigned as Kabir Center for Health’s office Manager and established Kara’s Therapeutic Massage & Wellness in order to concentrate on the growth and service of the massage practice. I, along with Dr. Kabir,  have also been working on completing a certification in Nutritional Response Testing.  This testing is a precise and scientific way of testing the body's neurological reflexes and find what specific stressors are effecting the weakened reflexes.  It allows us to test nutritional deficiencies and toxicities that may be a direct influence on patient's body's inability to heal and adapt.  Many patient’s who are currently utilizing this service are holding their adjustments longer and responding more quickly to the PDMT® along with many other acknowledged health benefits!

 It is my mission and purpose to positively influence the lives of my clients and community through inspiration and superior care.  My intention is to encourage a healthy lifestyle, positive thinking, and good humor to those I support and provide service. I thank each of you for providing me with the opportunity to serve you!
