Karen Wright: massage therapist, healer, guide

Before Pause Breathe Proceed was a keynote or a stage, it was 27 years of hands-on healing. Karen still practices massage today — real work, real bodies, real results — while Pause Breathe Proceed grows.

Karen trained at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy, class of 2001. Then she went and worked on thousands of bodies at the Ritz-Carlton, where she learned to read a room and a body at the same time. That combination — real training plus real reps — grew into a deep bench of modalities: Ashiatsu, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, energy healing, craniosacral work, Gua Sha, cupping, sound therapy, and warm bamboo. She listens to the client and the body, then goes wherever the healing needs her to go.

"Karen is the MacGyver of massage therapy." — client

She's also an energy practitioner who connects with the Holy Spirit for real healing. After surviving multiple concussions herself, she has a particular gift for clients navigating head trauma — work that's more art than most people realize.

Karen is excellent at neuromuscular therapy for pain relief, but she's no longer taking clients who just want to get beat up with deep tissue work. She's after something bigger: figuring out what nobody else could. Her focus now is whole-body healing — stress reduction, massage, gut health, craniosacral work, energy balancing, and sound healing. Natural healing, from the inside out.

retreats

Want more than time on the table? Karen builds custom retreats around the same philosophy — pause, breathe, and give your body and mind the room to actually reset. Mix and match: a "Quiet the Noise, Rewire the Response, Find Your Power" conversation that sets you free from stress and limiting beliefs, sound baths, 9D Breathwork, tai chi, karate, dance, self-defense — whatever the group needs to reset.
