MEET THE 208TEAM


Owner | Licensed Massage Therapist
Karin Smith
Hi! My name is Karin Smith. I am lucky enough to live and work in beautiful Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. I moved here with my husband and our “fur babies” from Boise, and I couldn’t be happier. The lakes, hiking, biking, camping and all things outdoors truly make this area special. With such a serene setting, along with my expertise in massage, I took the leap and opened 208Massage and couldn't be happier. I graduated from the Healing Arts Institute in Ft. Collins, CO in May of 2001 and have been in love with massage therapy ever since. I started my career in massage onboard a luxury cruise ship in 2001, having obtained many great skills and memories while onboard. I came back to land after more than a year of hard work and transitioned to working in a holistic health center and high end day spa. In 2007, I was presented with an exciting and rare opportunity to return to the high seas as a personal massage therapist to the owner of a fleet of yachts. After 4 years away, I returned to Colorado and began working in a chiropractic clinic. When my husband and I moved to Boise in June 2017, I was fortunate to have worked in an Aveda spa for 2 years and was able to establish a thriving clientele before moving to Coeur d’Alene. I specialize in deep tissue massage and injury prevention/treatment, but don’t let that intimidate you – my relaxing massages will leave you wishing you’d booked a longer session. I look forward to earning your trust and giving you an incredible massage! When I’m not doing massages, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 'kids', getting a great workout in, taking a scenic hike, and traveling.

Licensed Esthetician & Waxing Specialist
Mary
Hi, I’m Mary! I was born and raised here in North Idaho and I’ve been a licensed esthetician for almost 3 years now! I’ve been passionate about skincare my entire life, so in January of 2022 I finally took the plunge to become an esthetician! I’m always pushing myself to learn new techniques and expand my knowledge to provide the best service to all of my clients. It’s my goal to give personalized services to everyone that I see so I can target any concerns and allow each person to leave feeling their absolute best! I’m so excited to join the 208Team as their new esthetician and I can’t wait to meet all of you!

Licensed Massage Therapist
Danyelle
Hello! My name is Danyelle and I have been a massage therapist since graduating from the American Institute of Clinical Massage in Post Falls in early 2020. I first got into massage because it fit well into my lifestyle of traveling and I’ve always been told I have a calming presence. Once I started massage school I realized how much I love the bodywork too! Now massage fits well into my life of having a family and I have the perfect work life balance. Prior to working for 208 I worked at a resort spa and I’m really excited to branch more into the local community and build relationships with my clients. I try to be a good balance of relaxing and clinical in my massage and I am looking forward to all the experience I will gain at 208. I’m very excited to be apart of the 208 team!

Hi there! I have been studying women’s health issues for the past 25 years. Driven to find the most natural ways to help my growing family’s aches and pains, I learned acupressure and bodywork. This has led to an intuitive and unique practice. My education includes the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, CA, plus continuing education classes with Michael Reed Gach, the founder of the school. I graduated from National Holistic Institute in Redding, CA. My expertise encompasses a variety of acupressure and massage modalities, including Shiatsu, Thai, Acupressure, Myofascial Therapy and Reflexology. In my off time, you’ll find me spending time with my family in the mountains.
