Kimberly Holman, LMT

For more than 32 years, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of people find relief from pain, injury, stress, migraines, and nervous system dysregulation through advanced manual therapy. Counterstrain has become one of the cornerstones of my practice because of its gentle, precise approach to addressing the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. I enjoy working with people experiencing both acute and long-standing conditions, including neck and back pain, headaches, jaw dysfunction, pregnancy-related discomfort, postural issues, chronic pain, and complex cases that haven't fully responded to other treatments. My work combines Counterstrain with more than three decades of advanced training in Integrative Manual Therapy, craniosacral therapy, neural, visceral, vascular, and cranial manual therapy, lymphatic work, and other specialized techniques. Rather than focusing only on where symptoms are felt, I look at how different systems of the body influence one another to support lasting change. Over the years, I've also come to appreciate that the body doesn't function separately from our thoughts, emotions, stress, or life experiences. When appropriate, I help clients notice patterns that may be contributing to tension, pain, or nervous system overload, while always meeting them where they are and honoring their goals for treatment. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, or simply want to move more comfortably, my goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that helps your body function the way it was designed to. I look forward to being part of your healing journey.
