Meet Kim, L.M.T Hello, and thank you for visiting my web site.  As you can see by this display of photos, I myself have been an athlete for quite some time, more than three decades actually.   I have  primarily been a long distance runner.  I assure you that I can truly appreciate the dedication of any athlete or performer.  There  is extensive training, long hours of practice, attention to nutrition and of course loads of self discipline involved.  If we are at the top, there is the thrill of victory, but always there is the agony of physical pain that goes with the demands we put  on our bodies during the competition.  To me, "Peak Performance" means giving it our very best personal effort.  Achieving our peak performance means utilizing every possible tool to help us reach our goal. Massage, happens to be an absolutely outstanding tool to prepare for performance, it also assists in recovering from the physical post event strain.  As an experienced and highly intuitive massage therapist, I can help you achieve your goals, by carefully assessing your performance history and physical condition, then tailoring a  massage to best meet your personal performance needs.  This can be done in the privacy of your home, at your sports training complex or at my office.  Some of my clients include; Members of the NFL, race car drivers, concert pianists, golfers,  and surfers.   I have worked on the Medical Team for the AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) here in Southern California. I also have regular clients who are college level ball players and  professional bodybuilders. A good number of my clients are pregnant and preparing for childbirth, which by the way, is maybe the most physically demanding of all activities. Any of you who are highly demanding of your physical self will greatly benefit from a custom designed massage.      On a more personal note... I grew up in Southern California near Ojai, and relocated to South Florida in the 1980's  where I had been in the yachting industry for almost 20 years.  The later of those years I was employed in yacht sales.  Then, a few years ago I was involved in an auto accident and found myself in months of rehabilitation and therapy.  It was then that I discovered the amazing benefits of massage therapy.  I know that I am not alone when I say that massage was, in my opinion, the single most valuable element in my recovery.  Shortly there after I enrolled in massage school. 700 hours later I was licensed in Florida and received my national certification.  Much of the foundation of my early training was in a progressive medical center in Florida, where I worked in a medical rehabilitation environment.  I have a sincere love for bringing healing and balance to the body and mind.    While in Florida I was fortunate to tour the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami and I  see first hand how massage is assisting patients in healing a  large numbers of medical conditions.  I urge you to visit that web site and see for your self the amazing work being done at  TRI.       Finally... for all of you who are striving for personal excellence  and experiencing the joy of competition... I am here to help you find the energy that is deep within.  I can help you to prepare  physically and assist you to relax afterward.       As always, here's to you ... in mind, body and spirit!                                                                           Most Sincerely,   Kim                                                                                                                             *Kim is also a Certified Reiki Practitioner, and uses universal energy to assist her in massage..
