Story of K, 1 year old
K, 1 year old, notice the hands on the left picture as purple and closed.
At our first appointment with Kim, I mentioned that I needed to talk to K's pediatrician because I thought she had poor circulation in her hands and feet. They were purple and cold and she kept her hands in tight balls all the time. When the first appointment was done, K's hands and feet had went back to normal color and they were warm! Not only did the color and heat return to normal but K started opening her hands which led to the start of crawling! Working with Kim has been not just a pleasure but has eased concerns and all around made K a happier baby.

SWELLING. DISCOLORATION & PAIN
100+ year old, unable to tolerate medications or compression wrapping for swelling in lower leg. Her leg was paralyzed from a previous stroke. Pain and swelling completely resolved with 1x/week treatment for total of 5 treatments over 6 weeks. |
ULCERS & SWELLING
I am offering this testimonial of the Fascial Lymphatic Strain Counterstrain technique practiced by Kim Braun. I have suffered for years from terrible edema in both legs (and feet), and after the first session with Kim the swelling was greatly reduced, and the pain in my legs, which I was initially concerned might be aggravated by the massage, was significantly lessened (I had not been able to tolerate any form of compression hose, etc.). I would strongly recommend Kim (and therapists trained by her) for anybody suffering from lymphaedema and related conditions. Additionally, I shoud mention her personal positive attitude and the remarkable breadth of her knowledge of both traditional and 'alternative' therapies and medical practices. I will always be grateful to her for all that she did for me. As you can see, very highly recommended.

LONGSTANDING NECK PAIN
“I have had some subtle, but irritating, neck pain for as long as I can remember. The very first treatment brought immediate relief. After just a few more treatments, it is almost completely gone now. It’s amazing how fast this works.”

FOOT PAIN
I had this pain in my foot for about a week that was making it painful to walk. Kim had me lay down while she took a look. She did something, I can't say what because I could barely feel her even touch my foot. Then she said ok, so give it a few days and let me know how it feels. By the time I got home the pain was totally gone and didn't come back! Truly awesome! She's amazing!

TMJ PAIN
I tend to clench my teeth while sleeping but I do not usually wake up with any pain or soreness. One morning, however, I woke up with a very sore jaw on the right side. I thought I had just slept on it wrong and that over time it would go away. After a week of escalating pain, soreness in my jaw, enduring periods of time where I would open my mouth to speak or eat and my jaw would catch, I turned to Kim Braun.
Kim worked primarily on my temples along with other pressure points throughout my body for about an hour and a half. The experience was very relaxing and Kim always made sure I was comfortable. After an hour my jaw already felt looser. Within two days, my jaw was completely back to normal and I had no pain. It's been a year and I remain pain free!
I am extremely grateful for Kim’s work.
