Kimberly Williams, NCLMBT# 15900, is a graduate of The Healing Arts and Massage school since 2016 and is a member of the American Massage Therapy Association.

She believes that every ‘body’ is unique and creates a custom massage using a variety of techniques including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point & Myofascial Release. She views the client as an active participant in their own recovery and healing. Her goal as a therapist is to assist in the process.

Kim’s Deep Tissue Approach : Deep Tissue massage can be uncomfortable at times, but it should never be painful. When massage provokes a pain response, the client is no longer able to focus on the breathing and visualization cues that are given to help facilitate a letting go in the musculature. I take time to warm up the musculature as this allows deeper access to the underlying tissues. I “listen” to the body and stay aware of both verbal /nonverbal cues from my client.

Kim is a practitioner of the following modalities : Swedish, Deep Tissue, Warm Stone Massage, Ayurvedic Bodywork, Pre-Natal Massage and Ashiatsu.
