Karlin Smith

Karlin brings a compassionate, movement-focused approach to her work as a Licensed Massage Therapist here at Tanasse Chiropractic. An Olympia native, she’s deeply passionate about the body’s incredible ability to adapt, heal, and move beyond perceived limitations - it truly knows no bounds! She believes healing begins with intention and guidance, and she loves being part of a clinic environment that holds space for all healing techniques and abilities, and in her words, “radiates positivity”.

Specializing in injury recovery and chronic pain treatment, Karlin uses techniques like deep tissue massage, sports medicine, and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to help break unhelpful body patterns and support optimal function. Whether working with athletes or those simply feeling restricted in their movement, her goal is always the same: helping people feel stronger, freer, and more at home in their bodies. She says, "We all deserve to feel good in our bodies," and we couldn't agree more!

Outside the office, Karlin loves spending time in nature - from hiking scenic trails to searching rivers for interesting rocks. She’s also deeply creative and expresses herself through personal style and her love for funky vintage clothing and home decor. She loves all forms of art and finds herself fascinated by the unlimited potential of the human body!
