Kim is a self employed Remedial Massage Therapist with 20+ years of clinical experience in private practice.  

She became interested in the lymphatic system in 2004 after having a Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) to treat a wrist injury. She clearly recalls how she went from being a sceptic to a raving fan after one treatment. That was the pivot point that challenged her previous training in deep tissue remedial techniques and changed her thinking and the course of her career.

Soon after, Kim completed her first of many courses in the Dr Vodder Method of Manual Lymph Drainage. Even though she had been using MLD with her remedial massage clients for many years, it wasn’t until 2018 that she decided to go on to complete the Lymphoedema specific training with the Dr Vodder School. Following completion of the full Therapist Training Program, she also completed the Medical Taping Concept Lymph Taping Course and took on the role of course organiser, coordinating multiple Vodder and Lymph Taping courses in South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria between 2018 and 2020.

She has continued to perfect her technique and gain additional learning through completing the Advanced Neck and Face course, the Advanced Body course and Certificate in Applied MLD as well as Review classes and additional courses in kinesiology taping, most recently completing the Neuromuscular Taping Rehabilitation and Therapy Certificate.

In 2020 Kim was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her diagnosis gifted a new perspective and insight allowing her to bring a deeper level of understanding to her treatments particularly for others affected by cancer. She also became very interested in wound healing, scar work and lasers.  

Kim was accepted into the Teacher Training Program in 2022 and became a Certified Level 1 Practical Teacher in 2023 after completing her exams at the Dr Vodder Academy International in Walchsee, Austria. She feels privileged to be able to share this method with other therapists.

In clinic, her focus is on offering pain-free remedial treatment to her clients. She enjoys introducing people to MLD and converting them away from the “no pain, no gain” way of thinking toward being advocates for MLD and pain-free treatments. 

Kim is a professional member of Massage and Myotherapy Australia (formerly AAMT) and an Accredited Lymphoedema Practitioner with the Australasian Lymphology Association (ALA) and a member of the Lymphoedema Association Australia (LAA).
