    Ken Stern

    We're proud to announce that Ken Stern is our newly appointed Designated Establishment Manager (DEM) for Massage at BioLIT Spa!

    Ken is a licensed massage therapist and personal trainer with a deep passion for holistic health. His own early health struggles led him to a life-changing experience with craniosacral therapy—an experience that ignited his commitment to healing through bodywork.

    After completing an 800-hour massage program learning the ins and outs of traditional massage, Ken pursued over 100 hours of advanced training and mentorship in craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and visceral manipulation for those seeking relief from tension, injury, or chronic discomfort.

    Ken’s approach is grounded in osteopathic principles—treating the body as a connected whole with the innate capacity to heal itself. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, digestive issues, or anxiety, Ken brings both expertise and compassion to each session.

    Join us in welcoming Ken to his new leadership role—and book with him to experience truly integrative massage therapy.
