Artichoke Hearts Healing

Keryn Hawthorne’s journey into massage therapy stems from her deep commitment to helping others and her personal experiences with healing. Originally from Santa Fe, NM, she has always been drawn to nature and adventure, engaging in rock climbing, skiing, kayaking, and backpacking the Grand Canyon twice. After earning a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Social Work and a Certificate in Gerontology from Arizona State University, she dedicated 15 years to social work in nursing homes, hospitals, hospice, and disability services. Following a BRCA2-positive breast cancer diagnosis, she underwent extensive treatment, including a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and a hysterectomy. This transformative experience led her to shift careers, finding her passion in massage therapy as a way to bring healing and balance to others. Keryn has completed advanced training in pre- and perinatal massage, oncology massage, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) therapy. She offers customized sessions incorporating Swedish, deep tissue, ashiatsu myofascial barefoot massage, orthopedic techniques, passive stretching, hot stones, aromatherapy, and CBD oil to relieve pain, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being.
