About The Healing Touch
Professional therapeutic massage rooted in science, guided by holistic wellness, and tailored to the individual.
Karen D. Anselmo, L.M.T.
Karen is the owner and Licensed Massage Therapist at The Healing Touch.
She began her journey in the health sciences by earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Physiology
from Adelphi University in Long Island, New York. This academic foundation gave her a deep
understanding of how the body functions, heals, and responds to movement.
Her passion for natural healing led her to continue her studies in nutrition,
vitamin and herbal supplementation, and naturopathic approaches to wellness —
ultimately guiding her into the field of Therapeutic Massage.
Karen received her professional training and licensure from The American Institute
of Massage Therapy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. After graduating, she established
The Healing Touch to bring her combined knowledge of science and holistic care
to the St. Augustine community.
Karen is bilingual and proudly serves clients in both English and Spanish.
A Whole-Person Approach
Karen specializes in creating nurturing massage sessions designed around the physical, emotional, and stress-related needs of each individual. Every treatment is personalized — no two sessions are ever the same.
As a natural motivator, she enjoys helping clients improve their overall well-being through lifestyle awareness, including movement, diet, and self-care practices that support long-term health.
Karen leads by example. She maintains her own wellness through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and weekly therapeutic massage. She is also a vegetarian and advocates this environmentally conscious lifestyle.
Always Learning, Always Evolving
The practice of massage is never static. Through continuing education and hands-on experience, Karen continually refines her techniques and integrates new knowledge into her work.
By blending established therapeutic methods with evolving approaches to bodywork, each massage becomes a dynamic, responsive experience designed specifically for that moment and that client.
Inspired by Nature
Outside of her practice, Karen has a deep appreciation for the natural world. She is an avid SCUBA diver and enjoys capturing marine life through underwater photography — many of the images seen throughout this site reflect that passion.
The calm, balance, and beauty found beneath the ocean’s surface mirror the same sense of restoration she strives to create for every client.
