Kim is the owner and licensed massage and bodywork therapist behind Balsam Bodywork in Asheville, North Carolina. With roots in athletic training and science education, her path into the healing arts evolved through yoga teacher training and massage therapy school. She brings a functional, inquiry-based approach to her sessions, working collaboratively with clients to identify root causes of musculoskeletal imbalances and build a path toward lasting relief. Kim primarily serves athletes—runners, weightlifters, aerialists, hikers—as well as hardworking bodies managing occupational strain. Her integrative style draws from sports massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy, and she is currently pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree to deepen her clinical expertise.
