About Kim

Skilled Human Touch Reassures & Nourishes

Your skin and nervous systems were built from the same embryotic cells. Which is why there is no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives you assign to it (from pampering to clinically therapeutic), or the reasons you seek it out (a treat, to relax, balance energy, healing, injury recovery or chronic pain management), bodywork can be a powerful ally to your active life and long-term health routine. Everyone has stored trauma in their tissues and nerves that time will not heal. It take intention and daily practice. .

I specialize in tension, trauma, fascia & nerves. Infants find cranial and thoracic release helpful for better feeding and colic relief. Active people of all ages can get better alignment and performance. Prenatal bodywork is great for your rapidly changing body. As you hit prime time and things begin to get stiff and sore, bodywork can offer much relief to mind, body and spirit.

RECONNECT. RECOVER. RENEW

Why Kim @ TWBooRD?

Not all practitioners are equal

A dedicated bodyworker must be completely present and be able to maintain clear boundaries and intentions. This work is highly demanding for the practitioner, requires extended concentration, a level of neutrality, clear intentions and knowledge of anatomy. I am intuitive when it comes to body structure and function. I am constantly learning and doing research to be able to provide you the 'just in time' information to keep you out of neutral and at peak performance.

Experience & a Deep Toolkit

Bodywork gives me as much as I give to my clients. I hold more than 3000 hours of clinical training (10 times California's training requirements) and have over 15 years of experience, more than most. I am Nationally Board Certified and licensed in the State of California to practice massage (a legal requirement). I strive to provide value and measurable benefit from each session. You will always get superior service because every session will be tailored to exactly what your body needs that day and never a set routine.

Life presents us with so many gems and opportunities. In 2020, I met Dr Darick Nordstrom for a short few minutes and was immediately drawn to his gentle spirit, generous smile and brilliance. In 2021, I became a daily fixture in the Nordstrom home assisting as Ruth recovered from a fall and Darick from a back injury and helping keep their house and business running. The world supported us and slowed to allow space as Ruth passed away August 26, 2023. Today, I continue to have had the honor of working by Dr Nordstrom's side using my bodywork and coaching skills, learning from him each moment, admiring his passion and authenticity, and handling administrivia as we work to preserve his legacy or ALF, Oralase and PerFacT. I can't believe I get to get up and do this every day.

What people are saying

I went to Kim for a deep tissue massage for sciatica problems that wouldn’t resolve

... after many months of PT, other massages and chiropractic. Kim literally “dug in” and got to the core of the many tight knots in my entire body. I feel so much better today and will continue to go to Kim to eliminate the problem areas completely. Kim is so knowledgeable about the body and what it needs. She is the best!

Kim is many things to me and my body. Our relationship started

I went to Kim for a deep tissue massage for sciatica problems that wouldn’t resolve

...when we used her as a doula and I saw her

from prenatal massage. That was 7 yrs ago and I still see her often for many things. She helps repair my body

through massage, my health through coaching and my heart through loving and acceptance. She helps me

unravel my life and make sense of the senseless and helps me be self sufficient. Without her, I'd struggle a lot

more than I do...in many ways.

I was on vacation and 8 months pregnant

I went to Kim for a deep tissue massage for sciatica problems that wouldn’t resolve

Kim is simply amazing! I had an incredible experience.

...with my second child. I was having SI joint issues and severe vein

issues in my right leg. After reading reviews online, I called Kim and she was able to get me in for a prenatal

massage the next day. I was so lucky! I would say that it was one of the best massages I've ever had overall,

not just for a prenatal massage. She was amazing!!

Kim is simply amazing! I had an incredible experience.

I was stressed and tight all over my body due to the pain I had after my knee replacement

Kim is simply amazing! I had an incredible experience.

..she is intuitive and knew exactly what was needed to

address my painful areas and I’m already feeling better! I’m so grateful to have connected with her and will be

back again very soon! Thank you Kim!

Kim's signature massage is always the answer...even when I don't know the question

I was stressed and tight all over my body due to the pain I had after my knee replacement

...She soothes, comforts,

deftly drives out knots from my neck and cobwebs from my mind. She realigns me, recalibrates me and sends

me off in a new and better direction. She is a true blessing and I cannot recommend her high enough.

I was stressed and tight all over my body due to the pain I had after my knee replacement

...(it does go away). Kim knew just what do do to relax the surrounding tissue and the rest of my body. Have been going to her for about 5 years. Would not go to anyone else for nutrition advice or a massage.

Besides a discussion about my well being

...in which she's always very knowledgeable and offers good suggestions, her massage even helped with my vertigo. I don't know what she adjusted by was able to pop up

from a prone position without dizziness today

Kim is intuitive, skilled, compassionate,

Besides a discussion about my well being

and really good at conversation, which I'm not used to in a session, but

it helped me a lot. I feel so much better after my massage and cranio-sacral, and food-spirit session. My stress

levels are lower, and I feel grateful and more relaxed. Thank you Kim for your divine healing work! I

recommend her without reservation...

When I walked in, I expected a relaxing, rejuvenating,

...much needed massage. What

I received was so much more. Kim is one of those angels that walk among the ordinary people. All I can say

is.... thank you

Kim did what I did not believe could be done

There are really no adequate words to describe the skill and care

When I walked in, I expected a relaxing, rejuvenating,

. After seeing quite a few doctors for the pain in my shoulders,

elbows and wrists with no results, I called Kim for a deep-tissue massage. In just one session she was able to

give me a great deal of relief from the years of tension I have stored in my body. I look forward to my next

session. Kim is incredible!

There are really no adequate words to describe the skill and care

...that Kim brings to her work. I have had

massages and bodywork performed by dozens of practitioners over the years, but never with the results that I

have seen with Kim. Her knowledge of human anatomy combined with her ability to determine the best

approach to my specific needs at the moment are extraordinary. She is an amazing healer and an even more

amazing human being!

Kim has had such a surmountable impact on my family

There are really no adequate words to describe the skill and care

. ..My husband had met her while cleaning her pool. He had found out that she was a doula. She invited him to have us both come as a couple and she could explain how the birthing process would go. She helped us write a birth plan, which, was something we didn’t even think about. Her knowledge was incredibly helpful (especially at the beginning of a pandemic), it helped me make the decision to have a natural birth. Moments after my daughter was born I realized that her latch was very aggressive and shallow. I immediately remembered she had mentioned bringing my daughter to her if she had a problem with her latch. She came to my home the day after I had my daughter and gave her an adjustment. You can tell just by the look on my daughters face she felt relief, and you can see the tension leaving her body. She was successfully breast-fed for over a year. Move over to 2021 shortly after having my second daughter, she also had a hard time latching. This time her latch was nonexistent she wouldn’t even try. So in desperation I gave Kim a call. We took our daughter to her home and after a somewhat difficult birth she was able to release the trauma from her body. She also gave me a lot of encouragement and helping me to understand them each on an individual level. My second is now almost 9 months old and has been breast-feeding now for nine months and going strong. You could also see her jaw moved. Her face became more symmetrical and less squished. I’ve also received a wealth of knowledge about how to care for my own body especially when healing any form of diastasis in continuing exercise. I can never truly show my gratitude to Kim and everything that she’s done for me my husband and my two girls. I highly recommend Kim for all things relating to pregnancy, birth, personal growth, baby, ect..

Touch is far more essential than our other senses. … It's ten times stronger than verbal or emotional contact.
