About Us

Kimberly A Perry

Kimberly A Perry, LMBT 2848

I have been a licensed massage therapist and small business owner in Raleigh for seventeen years. During this time, I have expanded my education and knowledge to better attend to 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 from everyday activity to athletic training. I am also certified in Pregnancy massage for expectant moms, Geriatric Massage for senior citizens, Kinesio Taping, Massage Cupping, and Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD).

As a Raleigh small business owner,it is necessary to set an example with hands-on contributions for our local non-profits. I work continuouslywith animals, 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 2012, I became an Approved Provider for NCBTMB to teach Massage continuing education. My dedication to my profession inspired the desire to teach affordable, local continuing education classes for other massage therapists. I wanted to provide applicable hands-on courses that directly benefit the most common client complaints. Massage therapy is a skillfully used tool when in knowledgeable, experienced hands.


In my spare time, I enjoy baking, scuba diving, and traveling with my husband. On weekends you will find me running agility, drafting, doing obedience, or some other dog sport with our Bernese Mountain dog, Josie. Family time is important with my two grown children and our twelve-year-old golden retriever, Freedom. I am very grateful for my extended family and friends who bring so much love, laughter, and happiness into my life.

An appointment with Leacy will likely include techniques from multiple massage modalities. Relaxing Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sports massage can be integrated with passive stretching and range of motion, gentle compression techniques from Ortho-Bionomy, Trigger Point Therapy, and Myofascial Release. Leacy is also certified in Prenatal Massage and caters to expectant mothers. Leacy has benefited from the opportunity to work with clients of all ages and backgrounds. People seek out Massage for different reasons, and Leacy listens intently to each client's goals for the session and then customizes their massage experience to best reach those goals. This may mean a full body massage or focusing on a specific area or muscle group that visits. It is important to discuss this in some detail each and every appointment as your goals can change. Leacy received her massage training at Wake Technical Community College in 2005 and has kept her license current through continuing education. Leacy enjoys the process of figuring out how the body is going to move and respond to pressure. It is a great gift to be able to make a significant difference in how people feel. Leacy's goals with every appointment include treating the body as a whole, calming the mind,and lifting the spirit.

After having an epiphany during my time as a nanny for twin 2-year-old and 3-year old girls, I enrolled in Miller Motte in 2005. While there, I discovered I could be a total nerd about the human body and am fascinated about everything it can do. I have a passion for helping others and working with them one on one.


I have an out of the box 

After having an epiphany during my time as a nanny for twin 2-year-old and 3-year old girls, I enrolled in Miller Motte in 2005. While there, I discovered I could be a total nerd about the human body and am fascinated about everything it can do. I have a passion for helping others and working with them one on one.


I have an out of the box way of thinking that allows me to further assist my clients reach their pain management goals in ways most cannot. I love it when clients bring me a challenge, and I think they like keeping me on my toes. My massages are not cookie-cutter, never the same; I tailor the Massage to each of my clients' needs from session to session. If you need to find your Zen - got it, have a nasty knot in your shoulder - I can help, or wanting to relax - got you covered. If you prefer a deep tissue massage with more pressure - believe me, I can do that! And if you want to see photos of my dogs or my daughter, I am more than happy and willing to share.
 

I love my job! I'm able to combine my passion for knowledge and my desire to help people into one. I would bedelighted to work with you by personalizing your treatment plan and your massages to your specific.
