Hi, I'm Kim!
NC#19681
I’m a licensed massage therapist with a passion for helping people feel better in their bodies and their minds. I believe massage is more than just a luxury — it’s a path to healing, relief, and balance. With every session, I listen closely to what your body is saying and tailor my approach to give you exactly what you need, whether that’s deep tissue work, gentle relaxation, or a little bit of both. My space is calm, my style is intuitive, and my goal is for you to leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and truly cared for.
My Story
I made a career change from working as a fiber optic manufacturing associate to becoming a massage therapist. I was unhappy just working to pay the bills in a job that left me feeling drained. Every time I received a massage over the years, I’d think, “This is what I want to do.” I admired how massage therapists were able to help people feel better — and I wanted to be part of that.
So when the opportunity came, I took a leap and put myself through massage school part-time. It wasn’t always easy, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m so grateful for everything I learned at Maiden School of Massage.
After becoming licensed, I first worked at The Spa at RockBarn Golf Course in Conover, NC, where I gained valuable hands-on experience. Eventually, my husband and I made our way to the coast, and we now live in beautiful Supply, NC. I currently offer massage services from inside Saltwater Medspa, where I continue to grow and serve my community through intuitive, personalized care.
My Approach
I provide a signature massage that fuses all of the modalities I’ve learned to better serve you. That means I know how to help you relax and feel like you’ve truly been worked on. Most people relax through a Swedish massage — but not everyone. Some relax best with Deep Tissue, and others may need even more focused work. That’s where Ashiatsu can be incredibly effective — it’s a barefoot massage technique that allows for deeper, broader pressure and is perfect for those who love a firm massage.
Before each session, I ask the right questions to understand how you individually relax. Whether you prefer light pressure, firm work, or targeted Deep Tissue, I always check in with you during the massage to make sure you’re comfortable and cared for.
I’ve found hot stones to be a wonderful addition — clients love them, and they give my thumbs a break too! Thai massage techniques are also available, which feel like assisted stretches and bring great relief. If you’d like Reflexology, I can incorporate that as well. I’m now Reiki 2 certified, and many clients say the energy work is deeply relaxing and positively uplifting.
To complete the experience, I often include an essential oil inhalation and use hot towels for added comfort. Dry body brushing and a back scrub are also available — because I love to spoil my clients and make you feel like royalty.
