“Working with Kari was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly welcoming and loved sharing her wealth of knowledge with us. After spending weeks looking for a “live training”, I was so happy to connect with Kari. I was able to take all I learned and immediately apply it to my treatment room. My clients are loving how they feel and look. If you are looking for training and a mentor, you are in the right place.”

Kari is so fun and entertaining within her teaching style that the information just soaks right in! Her love of the Lymphatic system is so obvious, she just lights up when speaking about it.

Thank you Kari!”

She explains the what’s and why’s really well, but it’s her genuineness, patience, and passion for what she does that is so encouraging and inspiring to me. So grateful I found ASTECC and Kari! Don’t pass up an opportunity to learn from her.”
