My Philosophy

I believe healing happens when the body feels safe.

Many patients come to me after trying many things — feeling frustrated, disconnected, or unsure why their body is not responding the way they hoped.

Sometimes the body doesn't need more force. Sometimes it needs a different conversation.Over the years, my work has continued to evolve. What began as a passion for Chinese medicine has expanded into a deeper exploration of how stress, trauma, emotional patterns, constitutional health, and life timing influence the healing process.

Today, I integrate traditional wisdom and modern understanding — bringing together physical treatment, nervous system support, energetic awareness, and constitutional insight through tools such as Ba Zi.

I came to this work after my own path through fertility challenges, which deepened my understanding of what it feels like to want answers your body isn't giving you yet — and gave me a lasting commitment to helping others navigate that same uncertainty with more support than I had.

Who I Work With

I often work with patients navigating:

  • Hormonal and reproductive health

  • Fertility and preconception support

  • Chronic stress and nervous system overload

  • Digestive and inflammatory patterns

  • Pain, tension, and physical holding patterns

  • Fatigue, burnout, and feeling disconnected from their body

Many of my patients are looking for more than symptom relief — they're looking for clarity, understanding, and a more sustainable path to healing.

Karen Stringer, LAc, Dipl. OM, FABORM, Abdominal Therapist, BaZi

My name is Karen Stringer, and for over two decades I have dedicated my work to helping people reconnect with their bodies through holistic medicine, therapeutic touch, and individualized care.

My clinical foundation is rooted in:

  • Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine

  • Therapeutic Bodywork

  • Women's Health & Fertility Support

  • Abdominal Therapy — trained in Arvigo® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy through the Abdominal Therapy Collective and Tul'ix Indigenous Arts

  • Nervous System Support & Trauma-Informed Care

  • Ba Zi Root Analysis

My approach is grounded, intuitive, and deeply personalized. I listen not only to symptoms — but to patterns:

  • How your body responds to stress

  • Where tension is being held

  • How life transitions are affecting your system

  • What your body may be asking for beneath the surface

Because lasting healing often begins at the root.
