 The Hi, I’m Kimberly Anne Lim Andrade. I was born on the land of the Algonquin people (Washington, D.C.) and raised in Maryland. Understanding culture and personal expression impact people's attitudes, may we share in our meeting. I left a corporate job to pursue intrinsic goals.  The practice and teaching of yoga was a catalyst. There is still much I have to learn in honoring its tradition. My appreciation for yoga contributed to personal growth, shifted a relationship with trauma, and propelled natural interests towards the human body and understanding others. This trajectory, along with becoming a certified health coach, helped establish a sense of self through service and one-on-one connection.  It wasn’t until I gave birth to my son, who was diagnosed with epilepsy at six months old, that ignited my heart towards alternative healthcare.  Seeking non-invasive ways to treat him, we found shelter and success with a pediatric acupuncturist. Acupuncture school wasn’t available for me at the time I decided on re-invention. Massage therapy became a complementary extension to teaching yoga and I am a graduate from East West College of Healing Arts. My massage style is intuitive and detail oriented, founded on Structural Integration techniques and Eastern principles. On my spare time, I welcome the nourishment of outdoor adventure, camping, hiking, board sports, bouldering, and bike rides. There’s something about a good side stretch, foggy mornings, sharing food, snuggles, and the sound of the ocean.

What is a session like with you?
Energetically safe, calm, and intuitive. No fluff. 

Favorite thing about your job?
Focused work one-on-one, holding therapeutic space, and witnessing someone experiencing a relationship to themselves with different awareness. It's quite special to assign meaning to touch and to be given permission to work with an individual, their body, and being. 

Your ideal client?
All bodies. May have an appreciation for holistic approaches in health to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Open-minded and vocal with feedback if so inclined. Values in-person experience and word-of-mouth referral.

Where have you lived?
Maryland, California, New York, Indonesia, and Oregon. Currently living in Portland with residence in Multnomah County, the occupied lands of the Cowlitz, Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tumwater, Tualatin Kalapuya, Wasco, Mollala, Watlala bands of the Chinook, and nations of the Nch'i Wana

​Something that resonates with you?
I don't like promoting anything that hasn't been a part of my life experience.

What would be your personal motto?
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
​
What makes you laugh or smile?
Another's smile, children, dogs out the car window, and cynical characters on comedy sitcoms about nothing
