K.K. | Massage Therapist
EDUCATION
Port Townsend School of Massage, 669- hour program. Graduated in 2023.
SUMMARY
I've always harbored a passion to help others and cultivate their well-being, whether it's nurturing their physical health or fostering their mental. Before starting my journey as a massage therapist, I devoted eight years to military service, subjecting my body to considerable strain. In response, I found methods to soothe my nervous system, initially discovering Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos for daily relaxation and incorporating monthly massages into my self- care regimen. Through massage, I became more in tune with my body, mind, and spirit and gained a sense of tranquility as a response. My aspiration is to extend that same sense of peace and positivity to others through my therapeutic skills. .
EXPERIENCED WITH
Lower back pain, Shoulders, Athletes
SUCCESS STORIES
Throughout my time in school, I was working with a client of mine who suffered from a pinched nerve in their left shoulder. Over time, as I gained more knowledge and learned different modalities of massage, I realized after each session that my practice client would report less pain and more range of motion in that area.
WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGES UNIQUE?
Every massage I provide is tailored uniquely to meet the specific needs of my clients. While addressing the areas they've highlighted, I also take the opportunity to bring attention to other areas where tension may be present. Following each session, I take pleasure in sharing insights gained about my clients' bodies and collaboratively crafting a personalized self-care routine to enhance future sessions and promote overall physical well-being.
WHAT DO YOU MOST APPRECIATE WHEN RECEIVING MASSAGE?
When the therapist identifies tension in my body that I was not previously aware of.
WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE?
Over the years, many have remarked on my calm and peaceful presence, and I aspire to reciprocate that same energy to others through the art of massage.
