About Me

 

Hello! I'm Karly, a Board-Certified Holistic Registered Nurse (HNB-BC) and Gentle Bodywork Practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience in both high-acuity healthcare and integrative healing.​

​

I began my nursing career in pediatric emergency medicine and spent many years serving as a travel nurse on short-term, high need assignments-- an experience that deepened my clinical judgement, adaptability, and ability to stay calm in intense circumstances.  Over time I felt pulled toward a deeper kind of support.  While working in a San Diego children's hospital, I was introduced to Healing Touch as a form of integrative support for both oncology patients and stressed medical staff.  It was one of the first times that I witnessed how profound gentle touch can be, both to the nervous system of the body, and to the whole person (body mind and spirit).  That experience opened a lifelong path of studying light-touch therapeutic work.  

​

Today, through In Flow Healing Arts, I provide Craniosacral therapy, Therapeutic/Healing touch, and sound therapy.  My work blends grounded nursing presence with subtle bodywork practices to support deep relaxation, stress recovery, and emotional well-being. I believe in the body's innate desire to heal-- a peaceful body in flow is a healing body.

​

Outside of sessions, I'm a wife, a mother of 2, and a pediatric nurse.   I'm a Christian and I love connecting with people of all faiths and backgrounds.

I enjoy practices that promote flow and vitality, including fitness, dance, creative expression, stillness & prayer, and spending time in nature.

My Approach​

​

My sessions are calm, professional, and deeply restorative.  Clients often come to me when they feel depleted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves-- and want support that goes beyond conventional methods.  

​

Clients often seek support for:

• Stress and nervous system overload

• Pain or illness 

• Anxiety, overwhelm, emotional fatigue

• Difficulty sleeping and burnout recovery

• Grief, life transition, caregiver strain

• Complementary support alongside medical treatment​
