Sessions usually begin with broad, flowing strokes that calm the nervous system and ease surface tension. As your body relaxes, pressure gradually increases to work deeper into specific areas.

Yes — which is why Kim asks general health questions before your first session. It is very important to mention any health conditions or medications. If you are under a doctor’s care, it is strongly advised that you get a written recommendation for massage before your session; depending on the condition, your doctor’s approval may be required.
