Karalyn Bord Bio:
Karalyn Bord, LMT, RYT has been a practicing massage therapist for nearly 20 years, receiving her Massotherapy license in 2004. She has her Reiki Level 1 certification and she is currently pursuing her Reiki Level 2. She was drawn to the study of alternative and preventative therapies as a teen in search of treatment for chronic back pain, she eventually found relief through various forms of exercise, yoga, meditation and massage. A graduate of Cuyahoga Community College, Karalyn received an Associate Degree in Applied Science in 2004 and completed yoga teacher training in 2010.
Karalyn considers herself a holistic massotherapist, and believes in the power of relaxation massage to address anxiety, depression and sleep disorders. As a registered yoga teacher, she also incorporates the yogic philosophy into her massage practice using the knowledge of postures, meditation and breath work to facilitate healing on an emotional and physical level.
Karalyn Bord’s abilities as both a massage therapist and a yoga instructor synchronize to address any physical limitations or areas of concern, customizing the experience for optimal results. Whether it's targeting specific muscle groups for deeper release or developing a sequence to improve flexibility and strength, this combining therapeutic massage with private yoga sessions maximizes the benefits of both practices.
Applying the knowledge she has gained over the last 30 years, Karalyn strives through massage and yoga to facilitate a healing experience for her clients with the belief that our mental and physical health are intertwined and that both need to be considered for healing to take place.
“I believe the mind and body are connected in ways we don’t fully understand yet, but that we must consider both in our approach to relieving chronic pain.”
