About Karen - The Woman Behind the Business
LEARN MORE
At KMC Therapies my primary focus is to help clients that are in pain feel better, move better, train better whilst maintaining a healthy balanced lifestyle.
Over 10 years ago I was introduced to the world of Kettlebell Sport and shortly after I began competing in competitions around the country and eventually at International level. My highest achievement is winning a bronze medal as part of Team Ireland in Germany.
Over the years, the kettlebell weights got heavier and the training regimes (especially before a competition) became more intense. In order to balance intense training regimes with my office work job I began to include deep tissue massage treatments into my routine. These treatments allowed me to train more efficiently as I was able to move better under the kettlebells.
This is what inspired me to become a therapist. I wanted to educate to my teammates about how great I felt after a treatment
and the difference it made to my training. I succeeded with that goal and once I qualified, I began educating my clients on the importance of including regular treatments into their hectic lifestyles.
As a therapist, my learning journey is never done. I continue to gather more knowledge through courses, seminars and workshops because I want to be the best therapist I can be for my clients.
