Student, Client and Customer Testimonials

Ahhh-an educational solution for my soul and spirit. My experience with Karyn and The Sacred Stone was filled with light, peace and information that one can only relate to if they have had the fortune to connect with Karyn and her lovely presence. Karyn is a gifted healer and teacher. She taught me the beauty of using stones in my treatments in a realistic and practical way. In addition, the ayurvedic philosophies were an unexpected and welcome surprise.
- Alayne White, RI Aveda Representative

Thank you for sharing all the beautiful information on your healing stones and how to use them at our spa. My therapists are newly inspired and I know my clients will love this modality!
- Ousia Spa, North Carolina

Karyn, your presentation was very professional. The students raved about your class for weeks and I cant wait to bring you back into the school to teach the Advanced Stone Workshop.
- Joleen, Muscular Therapy Institute in Cambridge

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know about our experiences with Sacred Stone massage therapy A. K.A. La Stone, Holy Rolling Rocks, Rock of Ages, Fred and Wilma, etc. Well to sum it up-.. Yabba dabba dooo! These sacred stones are heralded by our clients as the only form of massage they ever do now that they've been introduced. I'm sure this will save wear and tear on our massage therapists (carpal tunnel, bad backs, ect). Karyn, we can't thank you enough for your help in getting our program started. Your insight and patience while teaching has been tremendous!
- Karl, owner of Elizabeth Renee Esthetics

Dear Karyn, I am working on completing my Ayurveda home study, and appreciate all the time that you have given me my with questions, etc. I have already instituted many of your techniques in my practice to the delight of my clients. I have many asking for more information on Ayurveda since there is no one at this time practicing this modality on the Outer Banks. I am deeply amazed at the results obtained through Ayurvedic principles and practice. My only issue is finding someone to practice on me, so I am hoping prior to the end of this year for the opportunity to to visit your school. Again, thank you. I am grateful for you and your staff. Always.

Karyn, I often wondered why I felt very blessed when I am doing this work. Ever since I was a small child, I was constantly being yelled at for leaving stones all over the house ( I spent my summers at my Grandmothers cottage on the lake). I have an uncanny connection to water, mud and stones. Perhaps it's the class that I took with you, that made me realize just how invaluable those stones actually are! To me, they surely are a blessing. To my clients, often times the words cannot be formed after a treatment. One client however, told me that this treatment ought to be illegal as she always felt as though she were in an drug induced (altered) state. No better way to get there, I'd say!
- Dee Joyce LMT, Licensed Skin Care Therapist

You are so special Karyn. You have been given gifts so pure and timeless and you are giving them so selflessly for the highest good of all your students and clients. You are beyond a doubt one of the most extraordinary individuals I have ever had the joy of knowing. Your knowledge of the human soul and its needs manifests through your passion to comfort, heal and embrace the people you touch. Through your hands and your heart, you provide support, encouragement, confidence and healing. My prayer for you is that you are provided for in the same way. I pray that unconditional love and happiness will fill your very core. With love and gratitude to a magnificent soul--stay as you are.

Dear Karyn, Thank you so much for your rich teaching skills and for inviting me into your home/classroom to learn Sacred Stone Therapy. My stones are on my back porch as we communicate and I’ve given one Sacred Stone Massage already and will be giving my second one on Tuesday. I think of you daily and plan to attend your advanced class next year. Namaste!
- Mary Kirkpatrick

Karyn, thank you for your sincere and enthusiastic teachings and your respectful attitude towards Mother Earth!
- Amrit of Sasha Salon, Cambridge, MA.

Karyn, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the great training seminar you provided for my staff. Your combination of open discussion along with reading through the instructional manual was terrific. It keeps the students engaged in the training and anxious to learn. The hands on demonstration was well orchestrated and really showed the depth of knowledge you have in your field. Everyone one who attended the training commented on what a great class it was and that you are a terrific instructor. We look forward to having you back in the near future for additional seminars and training courses. Thanks again for making it such a great experience in adding the additional treatment option for our guests.
- Pamela Cover, Garden Spa Manager

Dear Karyn, I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the best learning experience I have ever had since becoming a massage therapist. Your openness and ability to stay present is spite of many distractions is a rare gift. I have spent the last week integrating Sacred Stone Therapy into my practice and the feedback has been wonderful! You have also opened the door to Ayurvedic philosophy for me. I have started reading some books on it and want to make it part of my life. I look forward to taking more classes with you in the future. All the best to you!
- Carol Ann Kelsey Smith

Karyn, I have a gift for you. This gift is not for your ego, but it is for your heart. If we were part of a tribe and my role was to choose names that would best describe a tribe member, I would have to choose “Karyn Goodmedicine" for you. You are one of those rare people in society.... really good medicine. I know it when I see it. If you think about it, you are even teaching your Ayurvedic teachers and only a person as cool as you could be ‘asked’ to do so. Please think about this if you haven't already. Thank you for bringing in some much light!
-Norm Nyburg

Karyn, I have only heard good feedback about the class you taught in our CT chapter! I am so glad we hired you for this and look forward to doing more business with you in the future.
- Chaleen, president of the CT Chapter of the AMTA

Dear Karyn, I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable information in your DVD's. I have enjoyed them immensely and learned so much! Some day I would love to attend a live workshop with you. I've been studying Ayurveda on my own through books and other media and I'm fascinated with it! It is a never-ending learning experience that encompasses everything I love! Many Blessings to you!
- Julie A. Elliott

Hi Karyn.... I did my first Sacred Stone Massage practice session last night..... it was awesome.... this is very special massage work... truly takes it up a notch.. Thank you so much for this beautiful healing treatment... you are a blessing!!! I have learned so much already for knowing you .... Can I take the written part of the exam at any time while I am completing the practicals... just curious... I did not do the Shiro.... the nose... or the ears.... If I am not mistaken they can be added to the service as needed.... otherwise it is still Sacred Stone work.... I know how busy you are..... get back to me when it is best for you.... talk soon....
- Donna O'Donnell

Karyn~ So good to hear from you! I’m happy to hear about this class. As far as scheduling goes we have the Oct 3-4 weekend (sat-sun) open and available for you. I will have to forward the information regarding tuition to Kristen, as she makes all the decisions about finances. This will be a great addition to the curriculum and I look forward to adding it. All the best.
- Bex, Education Director at East West School in IA.

Good luck with your school.. I might have to come check it out sometime. I'm sure it will be great!!!
- Christine Robbins

Dear Karyn, Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge. You are a wonderful teacher I look forward to attending some of your classes in the future.
- Stefanie, The East West School

Hi Karyn, Just wanted to thank you for such a loving, nourishing massage yesterday. It was so much more than a massage--and my neck is feeling so much better today. It was amazing how you could get it back in line. I'm telling all my friends about you.
- Linda

Hi, Karyn: Just a note to let you know I received the stones on Saturday at home. Have taken them out of box; all arrived in good shape. I have several trips to West Coast this month, so they are at rest in the office, making friends with the crystals and other energy healing tools there. They’ve been informed there will be lots of work in March so I can complete the Ayurvedic 101 course, so enjoy their free time while they have it! They are still getting used to the warmer climate of Houston; won’t they be surprised at the summer temp and humidity. Appreciate the special intent that accompanied them. Love and light. Yours in optimal health, naturally.

Karyn, For 5 years I have struggled with seriously painful athletes foot condition. I tried homeopathy, diets, herbs and all kinds of alternative and conventional therapies and nothing worked. When I was editing your shirodhara dvd, I saw you put fresh lemon and sea salt on your client’s feet before the treatment for detoxification. I didn’t think much of it, but decided to give it a try for the hell of it. Four days later, my condition is totally cleared up and I am running around like a little kid! Thank you for this remedy. More people should know about this!
- Brian

Karyn, I would like to say thank you for a phenomenal seminar! The information in the manual is tremendous. I loved working with the stones. I also learned so much about the different types of oils. I developed athlete's foot during my aerobic teaching days ( 10 years ago). Then, on top of that, two years ago I was outside in my garden and developed a rash on my shin. The doctor thought is was ringworm or some type of fungus. Both these conditions worsen in the summer. I tried everything from tree oil and prescriptions from the doctor and nothing helped. Then, I learned about neem oil at one of your workshops. Within two days of using neem oil, both my conditions diminished! Also, I have been living with hypoglycemia all my life and have managed to control the symptoms. I am thrilled about attending the Ayurvedic Nutrition Class and hope to learn more about the foods that will help me stay balanced. Thanks again!
- Nick DiNobile

Namaste! Thank you for being part of my spiritual growth! You did an excellent job at answering our questions---even on break! The workshop was never boring because you kept us involved with the verbal quizzing. I learned so much! You made it fun too.
- Linda Criscuolo

I enjoyed the workshop very much. Input from others was right to the point, accepted, and very relevant to the subject. Sometimes workshops deteriorate such that the focus goes off kilter. You led the class well and stuck to the curriculum. Thank you!
- Sue Knit

Karyn was very clear and focused. Her workshop was very comfortable to be in and I found it easy to openly speak to truth in front of others. I learned more than I expected.
- Linda Benray

My favorite part was the spinning of the big belly stone with the castor oil!
- Deborah Constance

I wished the workshop extended into at least one more day so that we could learn more about ayurveda as it relates to stone massage. The lovely workbook was a fabulous surprise! I am so happy to have met your light, Karyn.
- Aruna

Your workshop was very well put together- I didn't want to leave.
- Anne Rogerson

Karyn was exceptionally informative, creative, gentle, nurturing and healing. Please inform me of other classes.
- Cindy Abodule

Perfect amount of students! I feel great!
- Pam O'Donnell

How about a follow up? You are a great and enthusiastic teacher. I really enjoyed learning this stone massage technique from you. Thank you Karyn!
