ÃÛÌÒTV Karla
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of touch. It has the ability to connect us to one another and can be so healing. Using the power of touch, I have been able to assist mothers having babies, and ease the discomforts of those in the dying process. The sense of touch is with us all though our lives. I am passionate about teaching students how they can use their new found skills to positively affect the clients they serve.
Area(s) of Expertise
Throughout my time teaching here at Riverland, I have at one time or another taught all the classes offered in the massage program. I like to specialize in deep tissue, reflexology and pregnancy massage.
Professional Associations
I am a member of the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
Volunteer and Community Service Activities
I have volunteered with the hospice program providing foot massages for the patients.
