Kim Pinckley, LMT, RPP, RPE, CST began her journey in the healing arts in St Petersburg, Florida where she attended The Humanities Center School of Massage Therapy in 1997. After graduating with honors, she split her time working at a beach resort giving relaxation massage and cultivating her own business, serving in a more therapeutic way.  Two years later Kim found the modality that would not only change her life but add another dimension to her practice, Cranial Sacral Therapy. She has since studied this therapy with 3 different schools in 3 different states and has been practicing it for almost 20 years.

Kim attended the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts where she met her passion, Polarity Therapy. While completing a Mind Body Wellness program at SWIHA, she also studied Reiki, Nutrition and Hypnotherapy and eventually became certified to teach Polarity and Cranial Sacral Unwinding Therapies. It is also here in Phoenix where Kim was introduced to Native American Medicine Wheel Ceremony and other traditional Native teachings and healing practices which are also integral to her work.  You can find her doing session work in her North Central Phoenix office, classroom setting at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, and talking circles or retreats in any of her destination retreat locations around the world!
