Hi Everyone!
I hope all is well with you and yours during these times. We at Truth Mind & Body are doing everything we can to provide a safe and relaxing experience and so far, it's working! However, half of that safety relies on you. If you or any family members have been to or traveled through highly Covid affected areas, please wait 2 weeks before making an appointment. I personally would also like to have your Covid 19 test results, if you needed to have them taken after returning from travel.
Please understand that this virus is not easy to constrain and in some cases is highly contagious. With my own family having "high risk" status due to health issues, I cannot afford to take any chances. Take as an example the common cold or flu; if I see you in the morning and you have it, I have now contracted it and probably given it to at least 5 clients and all my coworkers during ONE day of work. As you normally don't show symptoms for a few days, that's 25... Twenty-five people that have now contracted it, regardless of if they get sick themselves.
I thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation as we move into our new routines with all this. Please be safe,
Karen Dooley, LMT

Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping all of you are safe and healthy. I know this dealing with Covid-19 is becoming our new norm but hang in there. Yes, I'm pretty sure that a second wave is also coming. I have friends in hospitals saying that cases are starting to climb again but slowly. Here's an article that you may want to check out as it has some idea on why you may be feeling the way you are and can help with understanding it at least: https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/n7jap8/allostatic-load-is-the-reason-you-feel-anxious-stressed-from-isolation?fbclid=IwAR2ntqhZzw1x3M-P4JozZOyA3iLZNFUR4lm94Ln5BrXyT-DeQ0MiExj_p4o
I miss you all and I miss the joy of helping you feel better in person. For right now, small updates are going to be the best I can do. If any of you need an ear to listen, please feel free to reach out. I'm no talk therapist, that's not in my license, but I can at least point you in the right direction or just hold space so you can vent.
With much love to you all,
Karen Dooley, LMT

This is why you're exhausted just from being alone.

In this day of computer socialization, sometimes we need to take a step back and decide what is actually good for us in the digital realm. Mostly, the internet can be amazing but sometimes you really need to watch yourself on it. I personally severely limit my time on FB and have no other social media accounts. I don't recommend completely denouncing social media but a healthy break to personally check in with yourself, your friends and loved ones may be appreciated more than you know. Check out this article by HUM Nutrition on the subject of "unplugging".

I quit social media to reclaim my time, master my mood, and live a richer life. Here's my journey, plus tips for your own social media detox.

Hello Everyone!! Good news! I've now fully switched over to Truth Mind & Body. You can find my schedule and book online anytime. We are now booking sound massage as well. (I know I talk a lot about it but it's really cool!) There are a lot of different kinds of tech as well as styles of massage that are available so peruse those as they can help to enhance your sessions. Hope everyone is well and see you there!

Hi everyone!
A lot of things are in the works! I'm currently making my final moves to work full time at Truth, Mind and Body and have submitted resignation to my other employer. I have also gotten my first level of Peter Hess sound massage training and will be getting the second in the summer/ fall. Come in and try it out!

Hi all!
SO... I've been looking into changing my new house over to non-plastics. Replacing toiletries, cleaners and general household items with naturally made or non-packaged/less plastic packaging. Some of you may have already been doing this and if so, you're fantastic and please leave your tips in the comments! Now that we've been in our place for a bit and know what we need and don't, I feel much more comfortable switching everything over. Personally, I use Lush body products in my personal cleansing routine and white vinegar for cleaning my floors with my steam mop. I didn't realize until I started researching how much more was out there!
A lot of companies are moving towards plastic-free/low plastic packaging. Here are some sites that have given me some new ideas and will hopefully help you as well. Keep looking out there and see what works for you!

Karen’s background

Karen Dooley is a creative, curious soul who is well versed in her practice of massage and considers it her greatest art form. She graduated from Baltimore School of Massage in 1999, and has been working for almost 20 years in a variety of environments, including salons, fitness centers and massage booths at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. She has experience in partnering with chiropractors and other wellness practitioners for integrative care.

Karen has certifications in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Reflexology and more. Karen continues to expand her abilities all the time and research new ways to combine the techniques she knows to provide the best session she can offer that is tailored to each of her clients. Her goal is always to get to the root of any problems in order to find ways to solve or reduce their impact in someone's life. Karen believes no one should have to live with pain. Karen's goal is to help reduce or heal the pain completely. She strives to do her best in that endeavor.

As a “latch-key” kid, Karen never got to spend a lot of time with her parents as her dad worked in the day and her mom at night. Massage changed that. Her mother, an RN who worked 11pm to 7am, would come home, get a shower and breakfast and be on the massage table by 9am. Afterwards, they would actually hang out and go places! It was such a dramatic change in their lives that it might as well have been magic at work on that table. When she realized she had a talent for it too, she dedicated her life to it, making massage, and body work in general, her Art.
