The moment you enter Sand Dollar Spa & Massage, you will feel soothed and ready to relax.
In 2006, Karen Garry and her husband opened the first Sand Dollar Spa & Massage on Anderson Island in Puget Sound. They catered to the many tourists and locals who called that little island home.
Two years later, the practice grew out of those humble beginnings into our location in University Place, just a short ferry ride away from where we first began.
In 2018, her husband retired and Karen moved the practice inside Fusion Salon in Lakewood. As we move forward, all these years later, we want to thank you, our clients, and friends for helping us to grow while not forgetting that we do this all for you.
Karen Garry, owner, and Licensed Massage Therapist graduated from The Alexandar School of Natural Therapeutics in Tacoma, Washington, and holds certificates in the following fields:
Spa Treatments ~ Aromatherapy ~ Sports Massage ~ On-site Massage ~ Hot Bamboo Massage~ Triggerpoint Myofascial Release
She became a massage practitioner because of her personal love of receiving massage. Creating your perfect session is very important to her. She will be the first to tell you that you will receive the session that YOU need. Everybody on her table is different and every time you come in your own body will be different. Karen takes the time before getting to work, to ask you what she can do that day to make it your perfect session. Her clients feel relaxed and pampered when they reluctantly get off the table. She also believes that her clients truly deserve the best massage they have ever had and they will get that from her. She makes sure they are comfortable, relaxed, and taken care of from the instant they meet. She loves her job and the best part of her day is to hear the deep breathing or snoring of her clients in the middle of their treatment, as well as the look of pure bliss and relaxation when they walk out of the room.

Swedish Massage
The most recognized style of massage, Swedish is ideal for overall relaxation, improved circulation and release from muscle tension. Your treatment is individualized for your specific needs and requests.
Swedish Massage stimulates the skin and nervous system while at the same time relaxing the nerves themselves. It can help reduce emotional and physical stress. Swedish massage uses five main strokes to stimulate the circulation of blood through the body; petrissage (kneading), effleurage (stroking), friction, tapotement (tapping), and vibration.
Himalayan Salt Stone Massage
Unwind while your body is massaged with hot, hand-carved salt crystals from one of the most pristine environments in the world - salt caves deep below the Himalayan Mountains.The deep, penetrating heat of the stones results in very deep relaxation, improved sleep and reduced inflammation in addition to mild detoxification and exfoliation.
Heated Bamboo Massage
Experience a Heated Bamboo massage, your practitioner’s hands and forearms move together like ocean waves rolling over your body, creating a truly unique experience.The word ‘relaxing’ doesn’t describe this treatment fully. At the end of your session, you may feel as though you took a well-deserved mini vacation to a tropical island.The heated tools alone allow your muscles to relax quickly, the massage then is more effective. Bamboo massage lengthens and broadens the musculature. The tools gently and respectfully soften the structures for optimal relaxation. In the end, this means faster and longer lasting results.
Pregnancy Massage
We address the hard work of pregnancy with an individualized treatment designed just for the Mom-To-Be. This massage uses both back and side-lying positions with lots of comfy pillows for total comfort at all stages of pregnancy. This treatment can be done all the way to the ninth month of pregnancy.
We also have special pregnancy bolsters so you can be massaged while facing down if you prefer.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deep pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
Swedish Massage with Mini-Facial
This 60 minute treatment is absolutely heavenly. During your personalized Swedish massage, steamed towels are applied to your face cleansing the toxins from your skin. Next, a hydrating lotion is applied making your skin feel amazingly fresh and soft.
