On Thursday, August 1, 2024, the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce partnered with the Garrett County Department of Business Development to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of Karen Lockhart’s new private studio in Oakland.
Connor Norman, Business Development Specialist and Chair of the Garrett County Diplomats, led the ceremony. Local dignitaries in attendance included Oakland Mayor Andrew Sauder and Chamber President Andrew Fike.
Attendees congratulated owner Karen and welcomed her to Garrett County. Karen spoke about her background as a nurse and her current focus on health and wellness, massage therapy and medical massage. She said that she’s comfortable working with post-operative patients and people with medical issues that other massage therapists might not be comfortable working with. She talked about the benefits of clinical hypnotherapy. Karen mentioned that she tries to offer a little bit of everything including electrolysis for permanent hair removal.
“I try to make clients feel comfortable and relaxed…I always try to schedule time where clients can relax, they’re not rushed in and rushed out,” said Karen. She was very involved with giving back to the community at her location in Cumberland and encouraged attendees to reach out to her if they know of a non-profit that needs help with fundraising.
Originally from Northern Virginia and most recently Cumberland, Karen is happy to call Garrett County home. She is a nurse, massage therapist, esthetician, electrologist, and clinical hypnotherapist and her services include therapeutic massage, medical massage, custom facials, micro-needling, chemical peels, electrolysis, hypnotherapy, waxing, lash and brow tinting, and skin treatments.
Karen's private studio is located at 12 South Third Street, Suite 3, in Oakland. She sees clients by appointment only.
