Owner + Practitioner
Meet Kari - Owner
Hello there! I’m Kari, owner and founder of Functional Kinetics Therapy! I’ve implored a lifelong journey through human movement sciences going as far back as my athleticism in high school and collegiate sports. I first began my professional journey right out of high school, where I sought a personal training certificate with NASM. Shortly after I went to and graduated from the Lauterstein-Conway Massage Therapy School. My undergrad studies at Texas State were focused on exercise physiology where I worked as a massage therapist and personal trainer. In my free time, I was part of a competitive crossfit gym which further helped fine tune my specialty in massage therapy towards injury prevention/ recovery.
At the risk of having come across as an intense athlete, at the end of the day, I also enjoy the little things in life - skydiving, hiking with the dogs, playing with my daughter, reading a good novel and simply hanging out with friends and family. While my specialty in massage is in a clinical setting, I also appreciate a good nervous system reset myself. So whether you just want to lay there and be swept away to another dimension leaving all the worldly pressures behind, or if we have a physical dysfunction we need to shift into proper motion, I, being the servant leader I am, am ready to provide whatever custom therapeutic service you desire!
Movement-driven background
Athletics, training, and ongoing study shape her focus on functional recovery.
Sports + therapeutic focus
Injury prevention, corrective work, and sports massage inform every plan.
Balanced care approach
She blends clinical results with the calming benefits of deep relaxation.
Personal and grounded
Outside of work: skydiving, hiking with her dogs, time with her daughter, books, and family.
A calm presence, wherever you are
Kari brings a grounded, attentive energy to each appointment, helping clients feel supported from the first hello to the final stretch.
Customized care, every visit
Each session is adapted to your goals and comfort, with clear communication and a steady, respectful approach.

“As a Fibromyalgia patient, I have had various massages throughout the years. Some massage therapists have actually left me worse off.
This time around, my neck seemed to have gotten stuck. I had almost no mobility in it and was in severe pain. I was hesitant about another massage therapist because of past experiences, but my husband made it his mission to try to find someone who could help me. He found Kari. I knew that I was not up to going anywhere.
Kari came out to our house. I told her exactly what was going on, and she went to work. I told her that I was not looking for a relaxing massage at this time. I was looking for someone who could get me out of pain and restore some mobility. After the first visit, I began to have some mobility again. She was able to combine massage with specific exercises and movements, similar to physical therapy. She has been out a few times since. Each time, I get a little bit more mobility in my neck. That is not to say that she has not worked on the rest of my body, because she has. It has been extremely beneficial to me overall and has afforded me the opportunity to attend a few events that I otherwise would probably not have been able to attend.
Kari has always been very professional as well as very personable. She is easy to talk to and put me at ease with the very first visit. I will continue to use Kari and feel confident that we will continue to be able to solve the different problems that rise up with my fibromyalgia, as well as other chronic health issues that I have.
I will recommend her to others, knowing that she will address their issues and help them as well.”
