“Creating Peace with Your Hands is a thoughtful and comprehensive reference book for the manual, hands-on therapist. As the need for adequately trained bodyworkers grows, so does the need for a practical and effective daily approach to repetitive stress injuries that sideline and end the careers of too many talented therapists. This volume fills that need.”
— Renee Gladieux, The Pressure Positive Company
“Creating Peace with Your Hands offers a candid depict of how we, as caregivers and healers, injure our own bodies by neglecting the basic principles of body mechanics. I found Karina’s book both enlightening and educational. I would highly recommend this book to all who venture into the healing domain.”
— Deb Lazarski, PT
“Karina has compiled a thorough and practical guidebook for the professional therapist. The instruction in care of our most valuable tool, ourselves, will help many therapists sustain a long and healthy practice.”
— Anita Shannon, Founder, ACE Massage Cupping
“Karina Braun wrote this heart-felt, useful and informative self-care manual to contribute her experience and the knowledge gained to our profession. She explains how to create an injury prevention strategy for yourself as you create a care plan for your client that might, for example, include hydrotherapy applications to make the session more efficient. She discusses yoga, breathing practices, traditional Chinese exercises, nutritional considerations, and concludes with an overview of the human energy system. Highly recommended especially for new therapists!”
— Lisa Mertz
“Don’t wait until your back or wrist hurts to read ‘Creating Peace with Your Hands.’ Karina Braun shares her painful experiences in dealing with work-related injuries and conditions with doctors and other health-care providers, and offers excellent, practical, doable ideas, exercises and methods to ease and prevent these sometimes debilitating problems. It’s a great read, and an owner’s manual and guide to proper body maintenance for anyone in the bodywork profession, or in other jobs where repetitive tasks and motions cause stress or injury. Great job, Karina, and thanks for sharing it with us.”

— P. Wingfield , Las Vegas, NV
