Kim Holman, LMT, IMT.C.  OR Lic. #4760

Helping you notice, reconnect, and choose.

Move beyond pain, stress, burnout, and recurring patterns through individualized bodywork and practical tools for lasting change.

Change Begins with One New Choice.

My Philosphy

Your body has been communicating with you all along.

Pain.
Stress.
Tension.
Emotions.
Recurring patterns.

They aren't problems to fix. They're invitations to become curious.

When you begin listening to what your body, thoughts, emotions, and relationships are communicating, new possibilities become available.

My approach is simple

Notice

Become aware of what your body, thoughts, emotions, and relationships are communicating.

Reconnect

Reconnect with yourself, your values, your needs, and what matters most.

Choose

Take one intentional step toward greater health, balance, connection, and well-being.

Meaningful change doesn't have to happen all at once. Sometimes it begins by simply noticing something you hadn't noticed before—and choosing what comes next.

You don't have to figure it out alone. Wherever you are today, I'd be honored to help you discover your next step.

“I have never felt this good!” — Kim Z.

There are Many Ways to Begin

Choose the kind of support that feels right for you today.

Bodywork

Hands-on support for your body.

Gentle, individualized bodywork for pain, migraines, tension, injuries, nervous system stress, and restrictions that may be affecting how your body moves and functions.

Drawing from more than three decades of advanced training, I look beyond where symptoms are showing up, with particular attention to lymphatic flow and how the different systems of the body may be influencing one another.

Ways to Learn

Practical tools for everyday life and relationships.

Learn simple, applicable ways to communicate more clearly, create healthier boundaries, navigate stress, recognize recurring patterns, and stay connected to yourself while relating to others.

Offerings include live courses, workshops, retreats, and self-guided learning.

Heart-Centered Therapy

Support for the emotional patterns beneath the surface.

A compassionate space to explore emotions, beliefs, past experiences, and recurring patterns that may be influencing how you feel and respond today. Heart-Centered Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, gain clarity, and create new ways of responding with greater awareness and choice.

Another Part of My Work

Some of my retreats, workshops, and professional trainings are offered through (Re)Parenting Empowerment, which I co-founded with Meg Judge.

We help you recognize how past experiences and learned patterns may still influence your life today—and develop practical tools to relate to yourself and others with greater awareness, compassion, and choice.

Awareness • Compassion • Choice

Meet Kim

For more than 32 years, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of people find relief, reconnect with themselves, and create meaningful change.

Today, my work brings together advanced bodywork, Heart-Centered Therapy, practical education, and my collaborative work through (Re)Parenting Empowerment. While each offers a different kind of support, they share the same purpose: helping people relate differently to themselves, their bodies, and others.

My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that meaningful change can begin with one new choice.

Experience & Credentials

More than 32 years of practice and continued learning allow me to draw from a wide range of approaches while tailoring each session to the individual.
