About Kim

I am a Certified BodyTalk practitioner and I am moving more and more of my emphasis in my practice to Energy Medicine utilizing the BodyTalk System.

I am enjoying combining BodyTalk and Massage in integrative combination sessions. Receive a full BodyTalk session and when that is complete, we move right into massage. The entire session lasts 90 minutes.

Studying at the National Holistic Institute in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was provided with the foundation necessary to build and expand my knowledge and skill in Wholistic Health Care. I achieved a certification in Massage Therapy and Health Education in 1996 and have been practicing since then. I have been practicing full-time since 1998 and opened my own massage practice in 1999.

For the last 7 years the focus of my practice has been Therapeutic Release work which I studied under the watchful eye of Dr. Merri Harris, D.C. My massage is considered therapeutic in intent and effect, subtle yet profoundly releasing. Utilizing my training in Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Hanna Somatics, Energy Medicine and Reiki as well as my basic education in Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sports massage styles, I am able to bring intention and knowledge to bear during every session. In addition to my formal training, I have taught Anatomy & Physiology to aspiring Yoga teachers.

My specific muscle work and release techniques are very effective for injuries, whiplash, chronic tightness and pain, as well as stress relief. In addition to the physical muscular and fascial work I do, I integrate energy techniques into most sessions as needed. Directed energy is very helpful in reducing pain, softening tissue and facilitating release.

Discovering a vocation where I can contribute to others as well as open to deeper aspects of giving and loving within myself, is truly a blessing, and one I desire to share.
