Klara Birmelin, RMT
Growing up in Germany, I have been fascinated by the human body and its incredible ability to heal since I was a teenager. I believe in an evidence-based approach, where both the patient and therapist collaborate to create a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s unique needs.
My focus is on promoting overall wellbeing and relaxation through personalized care. I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of patients, and I’m particularly passionate about exploring the connection between massage and mental health.
In my practice, I use medium-pressure Swedish massage techniques, myofascial release, and gentle therapeutic stretching to address physical tension. Additionally, I incorporate hydrotherapy, and hot stones are a core part of most of my treatments to enhance relaxation and healing.
Outside of work, I spend my time with my three boys and husband and I spend a lot of time on various sports fields cheering them on. In my free time I like to stay active and enjoy the outdoors.
