About Us
Kimberly A Perry, LMBT 2848
I have been a licensed massage therapist and small business owner in Raleigh for over ten years. During this time, I have expanded my education and knowledge to better attend the needs of my clients in an atmosphere that promotes exceptional customer service. I believe my ability to access the client’s concerns, address the muscles in question and treatment plan a course for improvement directly results in my professional and personal success. I am very confident that my deep tissue massage combined with neuromuscular, trigger point and other modalities can provide much relief for a multitude of symptoms. I am also certified in Pregnancy massage for expectant moms, Geriatric massage for senior citizens and most recently acquired, Kinesio Taping.
As a Raleigh small business owner it is necessary to set an example with hands on contributions for our local non-profits. I work continuosly with animal, children and other charities, donating my time and energy as well as massages to be auctioned during fundraising events. It has been a privilege to participate in every charity event and fundraiser because I believe that supporting the community in which we live is consequential to its economic success and growth.
In my spare time, I enjoy baking, music, scuba diving with my husband, raising our golden retriever, Freedom and spending time with my two grown children who both make me very proud. My extended family and friends keep me loving, laughing and living an extraordinary life that I am extremely grateful for.
