Kathleen Krupar is the founder of Health Enhancement Inc. Since the start of her company in 1994, she has been a passionate and dedicated businesswoman with an uncompromising focus on offering the BEST SERVICE to others. She is one of those unique individuals who values and loves her work. Kathleen feels fortunate and blessed to have been able to build upon and develop what began as an early interest in the Healing Power of Touch, alternative medicine and aromatherapy into a successful and fulfilling business, where helping others is the main goal.  "I never grow tired of seeing the profound effects massage therapy has on a person!" she says.

Ms. Krupar recalls experiencing the dramatic impact that the healing power of touch had on her while caring for a sick and dying family member. These real-life experiences, coupled  with a passionate interest in healing the body and awakening the soul, made Kathleen realize where her talent and abilities would be most effective:  a career as a licensed massage therapist.

Kathleen Krupar graduated from the National Institute of Massotherapy and received her medical license from the Ohio State Medical Board in the early 1990's, shortly thereafter she started her own business called Health Enhancement Massotherapy, Inc. She has studied under Rosalyn Bruyere, Laura Chapman, Eetla Soracco and James Kepner; and attended the Chautauqua Lake Institute, Lilydale and the Gestalt Institute Of Cleveland. Ms. Krupar has been a long standing member of the American Massage Therapy Association.

The time spent as a fitness instructor together with her personal practice of yoga and meditation allows her to offer the "best service" physically, emotionally and spiritually. Northeast Ohioans were introduced to the benefits of regular massage as well as aromatherapy at her retail store location in North Olmsted, Ohio. Ms. Krupar and her staff could be seen at special events, fundraisers and grand openings throughout the state, spreading the healing power of touch, often times in a less than traditional setting. Many of these persons became loyal customers and due to her diverse knowledge, talent and commitment to complete body wellness her success and business quickly grew.

In 2001, she launched HEALTH ENHANCEMENT | ONSITE to keep up with her growing list of corporate and private clients who wanted her to come to them.  In addition to her Onsite division, she spent 2 years with the Cleveland Browns NFL football team as a sport specialist, lead massage therapist for the players and upper management. She comments on her eclectic massage career, " I have been privileged to work with so many different types of people in so many different venues. The main goal for everyone was to improve the quality of their health and well being and I believe massage, on so many different levels, can do that for a person.”

Kathleen has earned her certification and license by both the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB), and the North Carolina Board (LMBT). She also graduated in the summer of 08, with a certification in Life Coaching. Today, Ms. Krupar is at the top of her field thanks to her unfaltering dedication, commitment to quality, and her desire to help others with unwavering enthusiasm. 

With her recent move to Asheville N.C. in the summer of 08, she is excited and pleased to bring her talent and expertise to all those interested in achieving greater wellness, vitality and balance in their lives.
