About Me

S7

Welcome!

I’m Kari Willford, a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) dedicated to guiding you on your journey to holistic wellness. My passion for healing is driven by a deep understanding of the mind, body, and soul connection, and a commitment to empowering you to take control of your health.

My Approach

I blend intuition, active listening, and technical expertise to tailor each session to your unique needs. Myofascial Release is at the heart of my practice—a profound healing modality that not only alleviates physical pain but also releases emotional stress, fostering comprehensive healing.

​My Journey
  • Local Expertise: Based in Bethesda, MD, since 2013, I currently practice at Capital Crescent Collective. Previously, I spent nine years at Capital Integrative Health, collaborating with healthcare professionals to support clients’ wellness journeys.
  • Extensive Experience: Before Maryland, I ran a personal training and bodywork practice in Phoenix, AZ, and served as a master therapist at the renowned Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain spa.
  • Educational Background: I hold degrees from the University of North Dakota and Arizona School of Massage Therapy. Additionally, I’m a certified personal trainer with the American College of Sports Medicine and have pursued studies in nutrition, yoga, corrective exercise, contemporary shamanism, trauma transformation, and more.

Beyond Work
When I’m not helping clients, I cherish time with family and friends, enjoy biking, gardening, listening to music, and cooking. These activities keep me balanced and inspired to provide the best care possible.
