Reviews
I booked a 90-minute bodywork session with Kim at Bare Necessities Day Spa — but it ended up being closer to two hours, and I couldn’t be more grateful! From the moment we began, I could feel Kim’s attentiveness, intuition, and deep knowledge. She is not only caring, but truly invested in her clients’ healing. In all my years as a licensed massage therapist myself, I’ve never met another professional who can access and release the psoas muscles the way Kim does. She is both strong and precise — a rare gem in this field. The proof came right away: after my two-hour session with Kim at 4:30 pm, I went to a Pilates class the next morning at 7:30 am. Normally, I’d feel that familiar discomfort in my left lower back from my tight psoas… but this time, the pain was completely gone! Throughout the entire class, I kept thinking, wow, wow, wow! I can’t wait to see Kim again next month. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines strength, intuition, and genuine care, I highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Kim — I truly appreciate you. 💜
Kim was excellent! She definitely knows the science/anatomy behind massage therapy. Told her I've been getting back to the gym but also sitting a lot for work so lower back and shoulders feel tense - she did an amazing job with the pressure and focus on both those areas, along with the rest of my body. Will be going back once or twice a month for sure!
I’ve been having lower back issues for years, from work, golf and age. Just finished my second visit with Kim. Kim had been recommended by my daughter. I had never been but decided to give her a try. Could not be happier with my results. She is excellent. Very professional, intelligent, very knowledgeable and accommodating. My lower back is feeling incredibly well after my visits. I already have another appointment scheduled. I highly recommend Bare Necessities and Kim.
