About Kim

2008-10-06T21:36:00.000-07:00

Kim Greenway began her journey as a massage therapist at Heartwood Institute in northern California. Here she fell in love with the healing potential of massage and became deeply interested in energy healing. Since then, Kim has studied the Kunz/Krieger method of therapeutic touch, integrated chakra healing, stone and crystal therapy. Recently, Kim has earned her certificate as a Level II Reiki Healer.

Kim, as a successful and compassionate massage therapist in Lake Tahoe, California, had a wonderful practice working with a variety of clients. She was especially struck by the profound experiences with her pregnant clients. Kim felt honored and blessed to be a part of mother-baby experience and searched for ways to deepen this connection, for herself and her clients.

As a result, Kim is currently working on her doula certification with DONA International. She is fascinated in all aspects of pregnancy, labor, birth, breastfeeding, infant care and postpartum family support. Kim, in addition to her training, has over twenty-two years of child care experience.

Kim, with an open heart and a sense of adventure now calls Bellingham home. When she is not with clients, Kim can be found outdoors running, hiking, climbing and camping with her dog. She also has a compulsion for cooking, knitting, sewing and reading anything she can get her hands on. Kim is also an advanced yogi and is consistently amazed with the balance it brings to her life. Currently, Kim is thoroughly enjoying her new status as an aunt.

To Kim the greatest teachers in her practice are her clients and looks forward to the challenge of creating an intuitive, healing, empathic and personal experience for each of her clients.
