Kim is phenomenal. I’m so happy to have found her on my healing journey—she has been such an integral part! She is warm, insightful, and calm, and provides a comfortable space for vulnerability and body-work. I would recommend her to anyone :)

Wow just wow. First of all I have been seeing Kim now for years. Her massage therapy and acupuncture sessions have released so much for me over the years. She worked on me yet again with a new type of therapy/treatment that again has taken a huge block out of my life after 35 years off holding. Kim’s commitment and care and ongoing quest for my best version of me to be present …. Will always have me coming back for more. Thank you isn’t even enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻

I have visited numerous acupuncture professionals over the years. Today, after a one-hour session with Kim, the atmosphere was serene from the moment I arrived. The treatment exceeded my expectations; not only did she address my physical discomfort, but she also focused on the underlying cause which is my mental well-being. From massage, mindfulness, and cupping, I am eager to schedule another session soon. It was truly an experience that everyone should try.

Kim is an incredible practitioner. She is a master of her craft, and offers personalized, attentive care that treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. I am always impressed by the level of attention she offers and her knowledge and skill-set.

I had a fantastic experience with Kim, a very intuitive, sensitive and caring healer with an incredible skill and knowledge base.
Kim put me at complete ease throughout my assessment session and I left her bright calming studio physically uplifted and can’t wait for my next visit.
Strongly recommended.

Kim is amazing. I’ve been seeing her regularly for the past 15 years. She helped me with fertility issues, thru two pregnancies and beyond. Her manner is professional and deeply caring. Her sessions are multimodal- combining acupuncture, therapy and massage for a full body, spirit and mind session always following the lead of her client. She’s a gem!

Its difficult to explain the healing that happens from these sessions with Kim. They encompass so much (massage, lymphatic drainage, cupping, mindfulness and acupuncture and I am likely leaving some modalities out). You leave feeling better in ways that are more than physical. She is very talented, knowledgeable and passionate about her work and is constantly learning and taking training.
