She is able to share these lifelong lessons with her clients.

Kim has been studying for over 20 years with Jean Claude West, a motor control specialist, who has been an incredible support,  inspiration, and mentor to her and her work.  She has been influenced by the Rolfing® technique, homeopathy, Chinese medicine (acupuncture), Ayurveda, naturopathy and many different styles of chiropractic including atlas orthogonal work and multiple physical therapy techniques.
