“I’ve worked with Karen regularly for over ten years. Initially, I came to her to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome—and found it was origination on my left side—not in my wrist! From there, she patiently realigned my entire physical structure so that I am now free of orthotics and no longer have a severe hip thrust locked into my body from carrying books on my right hip while walking to school growing up. She has helped my entire family and many friends get freedom from troubling issues, including plantar fasciitis, whiplash and lower back pain. As with anything worth doing, committing to staying in the Process with her has been quite rewarding.”

“Karen is warm, professional and does excellent work. Her combination of visceral and myofascial work is a potent one for change. I don’t know of many who do both. You sense that when she is working with you she is listening with her hands, not just applying techniques. Karen is a gem! I, and my two teenage children, have benefitted from her work. Thank you.”

“I have been seeing Karen for 12 years. I was referred to her after a bad car accident, when all the physical therapy was not working. I had neck and back pain. The pain was constant. I started going once a week and she was able to relieve my pain. Over time, I saw her less and less frequently because I got better and the changes held. If not for her work, I would still be in pain today. Karen is a miracle worker.”

“I have been seeing Karen for about 4 years now. I have been very impressed with the changes I’ve experienced and with her knowledge and professionalism during my treatments. It is great to be able to see and feel noticeable differences from when I first came to her office in pain as a result of being all twisted and out of alignment. Now I do tune-ups only when I feel I need one. Then I’m back in alignment and feeling so much better! I recommend Karen’s services to others in pain who are looking for lasting change.”

“I have nothing else to say but the best about Karen. First of all she is a kind person with a lot of empathy; secondly, she has a 360 degree comprehension of the body and a deep knowledge about how things hold together. Without her support and dedication, my recovery would have taken much more time. My chronic back pain annoyed me for more than 3 years in a row. Thanks to her magic hands, I can now live freely.”

“Karen is an excellent clinician and excels at her craft. She is intuitive and knows exactly what my body needs. She is a great listener and incorporates my needs into what she is feeling/assessing. She has helped me change things in my body that I didn’t think could change. I always feel lighter and straighter after leaving her office.”

“I’ve worked with Karen for about 17 years. She is a conscientious, empathetic, knowledgeable practitioner. Her client’s wellbeing is her top priority. She is generous with her time. In addition to postural realignment, her work moves a lot of stuck energy out of my body. I’ve been able to run lots of miles thanks to her good work! I can’t recommend her highly enough and feel very lucky she has been such an ally on my path back to lasting physical vitality.”

“Karen has been a major factor in the healing process of my injury. I came to her as a last resort after not getting the results I was hoping for from physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture and more. I am so happy with the care she has provided! During a session, I feel her time is always dedicated 110% to me, and continually once I leave. She is always willing to try new things and is always very interested in how I’m progressing. Her work has helped me tremendously; much more than anything else I have tried for help with this injury.”

“I really appreciate and value Karen’s expertise and experience. I know if I have an injury or pain I can call Karen. Each and every time, I feel better: decreased or no pain, improved posture and flexibility. Thank you so much for all of your help over the years!”

“Karen has been able to fix every body imbalance/strain problem I’ve brought her. It is a wonderful feeling having such a talented and dependable person to help me when I need it. I feel that she really listens to my body and provides care that’s right for me, never cookie-cutter. I love that she is continually adding to her big bag of skills.”

“Karen has been treating me and my wife for close to 7 years. Her therapy has been very helpful in mitigating the aches and pains that come with being in our 70s. Our posture and mobility has improved. We are able to remain active, doing the things we enjoy. Karen gives us useful insight into what she is doing as she is doing it, and recommends stretches and exercises that help extend the benefits we receive from the sessions. Her manner is professional, courteous and friendly. We greatly value her services.”

“Karen is outstanding at her work. She has many years of training and experience that combine to give the best possible outcome for my sessions with her. She listens, assesses my body and knows exactly where to start. I trust her and get great results whenever I see her. She helped reduce my pain and got me going again. I highly recommend her.”

“Karen is one of the finest health professionals I have known and benefited from in my 40 years of being a dedicated health-conscious client and a retired holistic health professional. I have received body treatments too numerous to count: chiropractic, acupuncture, Rolfing, massage, etc. The sessions I have had the pleasure of receiving from Karen stand alone as the ultimate sessions of my life.

I had initially injured my neck in two car accidents back in the late 1970s, and re-injured it in a number of ways in the years since. I ended up with chronic, unresolved neck pain and diminished mobility. Then I underwent a great deal of life stress and my neck carried the weight of it. During this time, I rediscovered Structural Integration in the form of Karen Petersen. Under her care, I became pain free and now feel at home in my body. Life still presents its stresses and challenges, but my neck, as well as the rest of my body, are no longer victimized by it.”

“I’ve never hesitated to refer patients to Karen. I’m continually amazed by the results my patients get and the incredible feedback I hear about her work.”
