Integrative Therapeutic
Somatic Body Work
Our bodies resemble the ebb and flow of ocean tides. When we cultivate an environment of safety and healing, our whole selves can begin to remember and reconnect with our innate rhythm of health and vitality.
Embodied Wisdom:
Pathways to Healing and Functionality
Crafting safe and effective treatments involves understanding the intricate connection between the nervous system and connective tissues within the body.
Modalities in which Kim is trained and certified may be incorporated into her touch-based treatments including SE™ somatic safe touch for promoting physiological healing from trauma and the enhancement of self-regulation, Lomi Lomi, and myofascial techniques. Somatic Experiencing™ (SE) Safe Touch bodywork is a trauma-informed therapeutic approach that uses gentle, intentional touch to help process and release stored tension, stress, or trauma in the body. Rooted in the understanding that trauma often manifests physically, SE focuses on reconnecting the mind and body to promote healing. Kim integrates a diverse range of methods into her practice to tailor the treatment to your individual needs.
A focal point of her practice lies in the connective tissue (fascia), which envelops our bones, muscles, organs, nerves, and vessels, interweaving the various components of our entire body. Fascia, being the largest system in our body, is often affected by prolonged stress-related issues. Kim's bodywork style adeptly addresses chronic underlying issues stemming from stress, trauma, and physiological holding patterns that may hinder functionality.
Kim possesses a profound curiosity about the intricate relationship between the body, mind, and spirit, acknowledging their significant interplay in the healing journey.
