Body Sage Massage Therapy

About Karen Potter, LMT

I became a massage therapist because I believe in its wonderful restorative properties for the body. I graduated from the Central Mass Massage and Therapy School in Spencer, Massachusetts in April 2005, and I am a current member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals Association. Before opening my own practice, I gained valuable experience working at a therapeutic massage establishment, as well as at a spa. Also, this past June, I was a massage therapist for the second place men’s team in the bike Race Across America. I also have a BA in psychology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

As an active athlete, I know very well the rigors and stresses the body can withstand and the help and relief that massage therapy can bring. I have worked through my own injuries quickly through the healing benefits of massage therapy. I find it very rewarding helping clients ease their pain, combat their stress related tension and achieve an overall sense of well-being.

I currently compete on the professional level in mountain biking and, thus, spend much of my “free time” riding my bike for training, pleasure and as my main stress outlet. I have been mountain bike racing for the past seven years, and from time to time compete in triathlons as well. I also have a background in horseback riding and am currently in training for certification in equine massage therapy. In addition, I enjoy hiking, playing basketball and yes, relaxing.
