With over 30 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist, Karin Whitbeck has spent her career helping people feel better in their bodies, but her work goes far beyond hands-on massage.
Karin opened Therapeutic Wellness Center in 2002 with her than buisness partner. Karin had a simple belief: the body is not something to “fix,” but something to listen to.
Over the years, she noticed a pattern. While massage helped her clients feel better temporarily, many of the same issues kept returning — stress, tension, pain, fatigue, and that familiar sense of being overwhelmed and disconnected. That’s when Karin began to expand her work beyond traditional bodywork.
Today, Karin integrates massage therapy, somatic movements, and body-mind coaching to help clients understand what their body is communicating — and what to do with that information. Her approach focuses on nervous system regulation, whole-body movement, and practical awareness tools that clients can use in everyday life.
Rather than pushing through pain or stress, Karin helps people slow down, reconnect, and rebuild trust with their bodies. Clients often describe her work as grounding, eye-opening, and deeply empowering — not just because they feel better on the table, but because they leave with a better understanding of themselves.
In addition to her private work, Karin mentors other massage therapists, teaches workshops, and offers coaching programs designed to help people move through life with more clarity, ease, and resilience.
At the heart of Karin’s work is a simple intention:
to help people stop ignoring their body’s signals — and start living from a place of awareness, balance, and choice.
