Practitioner Profile

Born in Weingarten, Germany, Karin moved to the United States in 1978 to pursue a career in the healing arts. She became a state certified Massage Therapist in 1981 and has studied and practiced multiple modalities ever since.

Karin teaches in Carmel, California and travels to teach Bowenwork within the US. She is the owner of the Bowenwork School
and sees clients at her Bowenwork Center in Carmel.

Her warmth and sense of humor is coupled with a communication style that makes learning fun and informative while maintaining a high level of professionalism. She strives to accommodate every student's learning style and ability which creates an atmosphere of ease and focus. Her enthusiasm for the work is underpinned by her drive to help people effect deep and significant shifts in their lives.

Karin's mission is to support every student in accomplishing their goals, whether it is to help their family and friends or to start a new career in the healing arts. They may want to change their current healing modality to prevent overuse injuries, or add to their already existing practice modality, such as massage, chiropractic, physical therapy, traditional medicine, naturopathic health and nutrition.

Karin is dedicated to teaching more people to help themselves and others through the power of the Bowenwork.
