Testimonials from Balsam Bodywork Clients

  • Kim is wonderful at communicating and addressing the client's concerns/focus areas! She has a great knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology and pain science and is great at integrating techniques to target areas of concern. 10/10 would reccomend!

  • I have gotten body work from Kim several times, she is amazing! Especially as a person with a lot of activity/sports related aches and pains, I appreciate Kim’s clinically-minded approach.

    Charlotte S.

  • I was pretty new to massage before I started working with Kim but she has been consistent in explaining the benefits of massage therapy for my specific issues as well as educating me every step of the way so I can take better care of myself outside of seeing her. One thing about Kim is she loves for you to be informed about your treatment and understand what's happening. She's got magic hands in terms of long term issues like chronic pain, sports injuries, etc.

  • Kim is a fantastic massage therapist! I came to Balsam Bodywork with extremely sensitive calf muscles. Over several sessions, Kim was able to release tension in my calves. Her work gave me a great amount of relief and allowed me to resume my normal day to day activities. I highly recommend Kim!

    Nick B.

  • Wonderful massage! Kim is very knowledgeable about the body and aware of your needs throughout. Excellent communication and grounded personality. I see her for more specific work in my forearms from a repetitive injury. Its usually a good mix of relaxtion and sports massage.
