Hi! I’m Kim.
I am the founder of Phoenix Women’s Health Massage.
I have a culmination of 25 years as a massage therapist by trade. I am constantly evolving as a therapist and human. My passion for women’s health is personal as we all have a story to tell.
Our bodies surely tell this story physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.
The unraveling or undoing of life and the layers we attained through the years can be hard. Let’s face it. Societal influence, ancestral traumas or conditioning and everyday “fitting in” can leave us with no clue as to who we are.
4 years ago I started my deep dive into why certain patterns kept showing up in my life. That opening led me down a path of wanting more.
I found myself in the mihabtins of northern Arizona one weekend as I connected with Mayan abdominal massage. I could not describe this technique by any other means than it felt like “home”.
I just knew these practices from another dimension and space in time. To say I was obsessed was overtly true. I was just thirsty and intrigued how I could offer this intimate healing space to females on a larger scale.
The years went on. I was frustrated but I knew the calling was getting stronger.
First we must enter 2020.
The emotions individually and collectively came to a boiling point. It was time to go inward in a BIG way. As my body started to tell my story I was ready to deal with some of the suppression as I regressed into trauma from 40 years ago. I shined the light and acknowledged the miraculous way the physical part of me could protect little Kim, the 7 year old girl.
But it was time. Time to not stay stuck in that space. Time to acknowledge what was buried
Layer by layer I pulled the trauma back so I could look
As I heal I acknowledge that this wounding was profoundly impacted by the very thing(s) I perceived as weak- PCOS, blocked Fallopian tubes with a western diagnosis as “infertile”, scar tissue from STD and abortion, more scar tissue from an appendectomy, HEAVY periods with so many accidents throughout the years. So many emotions of full on guilt and shame. And this is not to mention the many sexual partners and a deep desire for love and connection that would leave me feeling empty when it wasn’t delivered.
Over the years all of this was stuffed down into my lower chakras. My sacral, sexual/ creative energy centers, my root, my base that held my instincts on survival, and my solar plexus/ chakra which held my power to stand tall and In the truth of who I am.
My mission is very clear now. I am here on this Earth to empower women is a huge way. To shift the perception that we are the weaker sex. Our menstrual cycles are NOT dirty and shameful. We do not have to be submissive or give power away regularly to be liked and that we must identify as our trauma.
I want to talk to you, powerful woman!
I have a specific program that can help you unravel. Let’s walk this road and see what is begging to come to light. Our nature is to shine.
We, as the divine feminine being we are are meant to be the energetic force behind the action of masculine energies.
Let’s soften and become who we were sent here to be.

My Fertility Story
The story of Ixchel (pronounced EE-shell)
It was May of 2006 and I was asked by a friend to journey to Mexico. I was always in for an adventure and immediately agreed to be her companion. The friend had a strong tie to the land that was south of Cancun, Mexico.
This visit no doubt intrigued me. The friend kept referencing a Goddess by the name of Ixchel (pronounced EE-shell) along with other Mayan Gods and Goddesses. I wanted to learn more...
Ixchel is depicted as 3 Goddesses
The first is the white Goddess, the maiden of the moon holding a rabbit. She symbolizes the reproductive potential.
The second Goddess is the red Goddess also known as the lady rainbow or weaver Goddess. She calls forth women’s blood as the midwife in their births.
The last Goddess depiction of Ixchel is the crone Goddess. She is filled with spiritual and medicinal knowledge and shown with a serpent on her head. Ixchel is a powerful Goddess for women to invoke. She will come in their time of need. The remnants of one of her temples still remains to this day. It’s location is on a Isla de Mujeres (island of the women).
This hits me personally as I had been diagnosed with fertility issues and other reproductive ailments years prior. I had given up on having any more children (I had one son from a previous marriage) and I accepted the fact my life was whole and complete as it was. I couldn’t ignore the fact that I could feel Ixchel’s energy with us when we were on that trip. The encounter was deep and the connection was even stronger.
Two years after that first visit and several trips to Playa Del Carmen with my now husband, we found out we were pregnant. I contribute this spiritual element as one of the tools I could use that aligned my being to allow to receive the gift of pregnancy.
There is no doubt I healed my physical, mental and emotional bodies as well.
After the birth of our son, my husband and I traveled back to the land and paid homage to Ixchel on the Island of Cozumel. We thanked her for her help and support. This energy is available and could be used as a huge comfort to women that are struggling in any stage of their life. The maiden, the maid or the crone.
Having peace in where we are and knowing our bodies are miracles of timeless energy. I have learned in the last 16 years that we must incorporate healing of all the bodies. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies must all be aligned to be in homeostasis.
I offer my services to you in the form of massage, coaching on nutrition, exercise, stress reduction and trusting yourself and what your body needs to heal.
