Keri Keefer, CMP, CPT (NASM)
Keri Keefer has been a massage practitioner for 20 years, and group exercise instructor and personal trainer for 6 years.
With a focused interest in health and well-being, she has worked under Acupuncurists, Chiropractors, and Physical Therapists. The opportunity to work with medically informed professionals with such diverse educational backgrounds afforded her the ability to deepen her own knowledge base and to broaden her understanding of age related illnesses, pain and injury management and rehabilitation.
Keri’s approach towards the body is with compassion, patience, and the understanding that each client is different. There is no ‘one size fits all’ and everyone deserves to be heard and to feel their best.
Keri received her training in Orthopedic Massage, myofascial release method, deep tissue, trigger point, prenatal, Sports massage, and Swedish method at Monterey Institute of Touch in Carmel Valley.
Whether it’s chronic or acute pain that you’re dealing with, headaches, overexertion or general stress and soreness, Keri can combine methods to help you feel like yourself again.
Wanting to give more options to her clients, she decided to add another certification in personal training. Her passion for fitness and healthy (and fun) physical activity led her to NASM, The National Academy of Sports Medicine.
One-on-one training, small group training and large group classes are all things that Keri now offers, along with her massage expertise.
Kickboxing has been a favorite class of hers to teach. This workout is based on traditional American boxing form (footwork and punching techniques) as well as martial arts-based kicking techniques.
Form, technique, agility, strength, mental focus, and explosive power are all important pieces of performing this workout correctly and effectively. This workout begins with basic body weight exercises, moves to shadow boxing, partner work with mitts/gloves/wraps, and focuses on drills. A seriously satisfying workout that thoroughly works the entire body!
Keri truly encourages beginners, women of all ages and timid types to try it out.
This class is always taught with professionalism, encouragement, maturity and it’s meant to be FUN!
