Who We Are

Karen Reiser

Massage Therapist

727-772-0220


I began my massage career 17 years ago when I attended Health Choices Holistic Massage school in Hillsborough, NJ. I had always been interested in psychology, the mind body experience, health and wellness. Five years ago, my husband and I relocated to Florida with the intention to leave behind the hustle of the northeast and live our best lives in the warm climate. I attended Sunstate Massage school in Clearwater to update my skills and so that I could become licensed in the state of Florida. While I attended Sunstate, I also received my Esthetician license. I am also Reiki certified level I and 2 which I integrate into my massage. I use a variety of modalities such as deep tissue, relaxation, Swedish and some Thai massage to give my clients the best blend of techniques for their personal needs. I enjoy my job immensely. I find much satisfaction in helping clients find relief from pain or to simply help them relax. Steve Jobs once said, “the only way to do great work is to love what you do. I agree!
