About Me
My journey as a massage therapist began in 2017 when I took a deep tissue massage course that ignited a new sense of purpose within me. I realized that massage is not just about relaxation, it's a powerful tool for self-awareness and healing. For me, massage became a form of meditation, a way to deeply connect with the body and mind, helping others to listen to their inner needs.
Over the past eight years, I have immersed myself in various massage modalities, honing my skills to create a truly unique experience for my clients. I noticed that many massage experiences were lacking a holistic approach, where both therapeutic depth and true relaxation could coexist. This inspired me to develop my own signature style: The Lapis Touch
The Lapis Touch is a carefully crafted massage that integrates techniques from Swedish Massage, Thai Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage, and Reflexology. It is designed to support deeper self-care, nervous system regulation, and emotional well-being- while easing tension and inviting stillness
​
Beyond technique, I hold space intuitively. My sessions are often described as grounding, nurturing, and energetically attuned. I am passionate about helping my clients reconnect with their bodies on a soul-deep level, offering not just relief, but an experience that honors body, mind, and spirit. I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards well-being and inner peace..

My philosophy
I’m Kim, the heart behind The Lapis Touch. My approach to massage goes beyond physical relief, it’s about creating a space for deeper healing, where both body and mind find balance. Every person carries their own story, held in the muscles and tissues, and I listen carefully with my hands, guided by intuition to restore harmony.
The name *Lapis Touch* was inspired by the Lapis Lazuli stone, a symbol of clarity, wisdom, and insight. Just as the stone has been revered for centuries as a tool for self-awareness and spiritual connection, I aim to bring those same qualities into each massage I give. The deep blue hue of Lapis Lazuli evokes tranquility and inner peace, much like the experience I hope to create during your session. For me, the stone represents the ability to see beneath the surface, tapping into the deeper layers of tension, stress, and energy that need healing.
*The Lapis Touch Massage* blends the most effective techniques from Thai, Swedish, Hot Stone, Deep Tissue, and Reflexology to create a truly personalized experience rooted in nervous system regulation and emotional grounding. Each session is crafted based on what I feel your body needs in the moment. I don’t follow a fixed routine, every massage is different because every body is unique. By combining these modalities, I help release not just physical pain, but also emotional blockages and stress that prevent true relaxation.
Guided by intuition, I let your body tell me where it needs attention. This blend of ancient techniques and intuitive touch mirrors the qualities of Lapis Lazuli, allowing for both clarity and deep healing. I believe that massage is a journey back to yourself—a moment of restoration, where your body, mind, and spirit align in quiet harmony. My intention is to leave you feeling not just relaxed, but renewed, with a sense of calm and balance that extends far beyond the table.
I invite you to experience this unique approach, where intuition meets technique and healing becomes a ceremony for the nervous system, the soul, and the self.
