Ann Arbor Healing Arts

Kelly is an incredible compassionate and knowledgeable practitioner and teacher of her healing art. I feel so lucky to have found her in Ann Arbor. As an LMT myself, I also feel very honored to learn Thai and Shiatsu from her and implement what I've learned into my own practice.

Kelly is keenly intuitive, deeply present and highly skilled. I need deep, precise work to help with an old car accident injury and middle aged gym enthusiasm and she was able to deliver exactly what I needed. I am so grateful to have found her . Thank you Kelly!

Kelly is an extremely competent and caring practitioner. Her massage style has helped me to regain lost flexibility and reduce my pain.

Ordinary massage is nice enough, but Shiatsu as done by traditionally trained therapists is way beyond nice enough. When I leave after a session I feel light and clear, energized and calm. I can also feel an improvement in my running form for several days thereafter, but that is just a pleasant side-effect compared to the release of tension. Kelly's studio is light, quiet, peaceful. As is the case with Shiatsu, one lies on a futon mat on the floor which allows Kelly to work my body while preserving her good form and posture.

Just amazing. Came for relief of long term chronic abdominal tension and lower back pain. Mission accomplished. Stayed for on going discovery of new connections in my experience of relatedness to my body/being. During sessions, one lies on a mat and is gently physically moved, by the practitioner, through a series of postures while simply resting and allowing oneself to be positioned. No effort or strain, is required, in fact, less is better. The process frequently includes openings in orientations to self. So. very highly recommended.

Kelly has a great energy. She does fantastic bodywork, especially Thai Massage. I have been lucky enough to learn some Thai massage from Kelly. She is a great teacher who really knows her stuff. Her space is beautiful and I never want to leave. If you have not given Thai Massage a try, I highly commend it.

I've been seeing Kelly at Kaizen for just about a decade. For the past several years she's offerred Thai massage almost exclusively. Thai massage is done on a floor matt, while clothed. While I was skeptical at first, as this wasn't what I equated with a massage, I've never once left a session feeling anything but completely relaxed. She's truly a master of this style, and achieves great leverage on nodal points this way. Kelly keeps track of your sore points between sessions with great percision, effectively evaluates changes before sessions, and works her magic accordingly.

She's a complete body healing professional. The Kaizen space is tasteful and calming. The only thing that I wish would be to get deeper tissue massage in some places, but for me that would practically take a truck. If I could make this a 4.8 of 5 star review for that little wish, I would.

Over three decades, I have been fortunate enough to have received great bodywork from many practitioners. Kelly is my go-to person in the last ten years. I continue to see other practitioners if I am out of town, but my choice would be to see Kelly every time. Kelly's demeanor reflects the work she has done on herself -- she is calm, gentle, and aware.

Her personality and the physical space she has created for her work all reflect who she is, and that also comes through in her massage work on many different levels. Kelly seems to intuitively calls on a wide range of techniques that are tailored to the moment. She's warm, knowledgeable and kind -- which comes through in her touch as well as in all her other communications. Receiving her work is a meditation as well as a healing.
