Hi! I'm Karen! I'm a licensed massage therapist that specializes in John Barnes Myofascial Release®️ and therapeutic massage.
I help people get out of pain and back to doing what they love!
HIP PAIN ISN'T ALWAYS ABOUT THE HIP
Many people assume that if their hip hurts, the problem must be in the hip itself. But our bodies are interconnected, and pain is often just the messenger—not the source.
Restrictions in fascia, compensation patterns, old injuries, posture habits, and movement imbalances can all contribute to discomfort that shows up in the hips.
That's why my approach isn't focused on simply treating symptoms. I work to uncover the hidden restrictions that may be contributing to your pain and limited mobility so your body can move with greater ease and balance.
If hip discomfort is keeping you from walking comfortably, exercising, sleeping well, or enjoying daily activities, it may be time to look beyond the area that hurts.
Let's find the source together.
Tranquil Oakes Myofascial Release & Therapeutic Massage
Finding the Source. Restoring Balance. Enhancing Lives.
Every person who walks through my door becomes part of something bigger than a treatment session.
It's a story of healing, progress, resilience, and rediscovering what your body is capable of when given the right support.
Whether you've been dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, old injuries, or simply feel disconnected from your body's natural balance, I am honored to be part of your journey.
Thank you for trusting Tranquil Oakes and allowing me to be part of your healing journey.

I'm so excited! I'm finally taking a few days to practice what I preach and take care of ME.
If you know my story, then you know I've lived with chronic pain for most of my life. Like many people dealing with chronic pain, there are times when it's manageable and times when it comes roaring back. Lately, it's definitely been the latter.
Soon I'll be heading to Austin for two days of intensive John Barnes Myofascial Release treatment. I'll be receiving several hours of therapy, including a few sessions with two therapists working with me at the same time.
Do I expect a miracle overnight? No, healing is a process and I'm hoping this will give me the boost I need to help me get back to living life more fully.
I'll keep you posted on how I'm feeling afterward. And if it's as incredible as I think it will be, it may inspire me to offer something similar here at Tranquil Oakes in the future.
Sometimes the healer needs healing too. And tacos because one of my favorite restaurants is only 20 minutes from where I'll be!

One of the most important lessons I've learned through the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach is that the body cannot be forced to heal.
Many people assume that more pressure equals better results. In reality, when the body feels threatened or overwhelmed, it often responds by tightening, guarding, and protecting itself.
Whether working with the jaw, neck, pelvis, or any other area of restriction, lasting change happens when we create a safe environment for the nervous system. Through sustained, gentle pressure and a listening touch, the body is given the opportunity to release what it no longer needs to hold.
The John Barnes approach is not about forcing tissue to change—it's about creating the conditions that allow change to occur naturally.
When the body feels safe:
✨ Muscles begin to soften
✨ Breathing becomes deeper
✨ Protective guarding decreases
✨ Fascial restrictions start to unwind
✨ The nervous system shifts toward balance
True healing doesn't come from overpowering the body. It comes from working with it.
Our bodies are incredibly intelligent. Sometimes they simply need the right environment, patience, and support to do what they were designed to do.

Women carry stress, tension, trauma, and chronic pain in ways that are often overlooked. John Barnes Myofascial Release is a gentle, hands-on therapy designed to help the body release restrictions, restore movement, and reconnect you with how wellness is supposed to feel.
Top benefits of Myofascial Release for women include:
• Relief from chronic pain and tension
• Reduced stress and nervous system overload
• Improved posture and mobility
• Greater body awareness and connection
• Support for whole-body wellness and balance
This is not just relaxation. It is intentional, therapeutic care focused on helping your body move more freely and function more naturally.
You deserve care that goes deeper than surface-level self-care.

Just wrapped up Day 2 of the Fascial-Pelvis seminar with the amazing John Barnes Myofascial Release team here in Houston!
This is my second time taking this seminar, and I'm reminded that there is always more to learn, refine, and grow as a practitioner. Every time I revisit this work, I gain new insights and a deeper understanding of how the body functions and heals.
I'm excited to bring these techniques back to my clients and continue helping people move with less pain, less restriction, and greater freedom.
