*****Currently not accepting new clients*****
Massage Therapy. A natural, straightforward, and effective approach to renew, refresh, and restore the body. I customize each session to address areas of concern as we work together to reduce tension and discomfort. My goal is to also increase range of motion and flexibility by incorporating stretching and movement in most sessions. I encourage you to make time for self-care and invite you to come relax and find relief.

Kim's massage is one of the very best massages I've received. She is able to totally relieve my joint and muscle stiffness while being attentive to my very sensitive areas like the hip area, lower back, and nerve numbness due to surgery. I highly recommend Kim Doane for massage therapy. Her new spa room is very comfortable, clean and calming. I love the warm towel technique and her offering of aromatherapy. Her price is affordable and well worth it for an hour!!

Kim is the best massage therapist. She is hands down the best in the business. I have had a lot of massages in my life and there is no one better. I am a hair stylist, own two businesses and my body is always hurting. I have been seeing her once a week for the last year and I have never felt better physically and mentally. She is reliable, highly skilled and nurturing and caring. I can’t believe we have someone like her in Vermont. My husband goes to her and a handful of my friends and clients and we all feel the same about her. She is AMAZING!

Kim has such a wonderful, caring, powerful touch! She goes deep into areas of muscle tension and I am thoroughly relaxed at the end of the session.

I have been getting therapeutic massages for several years and having lived all over the country I can confidently say that Kim is hands down the best massage therapist I've ever been to. She is very communicative, listening to my current issues and symptoms at the start of every appointment and throughout she checks in with me regarding the pressure, how things feel, and to ensure she is meeting my needs. I have never felt better leaving a massage than when I walk out of Kim's office. She is so talented and professional. I look forward to every visit. I cannot recommend her enough!
