One aspect of vocalizing with ease, and relaxing into the present moment, is identifying and releasing physical tension. Karen Almquist will be on site at Your Mindful Voice retreat providing massage for additional charge to those who sign up in advance. She incorporates Swedish Massage and Reiki energy work with the deep tissue modalities of Acupressure and Soft Tissue Release to encourage both immediate and lasting results.

Karen is also a gifted, gutsy guitar player and soulful singer/songwriter, contributing her "acoustic roots with a blues bent" to our evening jam sessions.
