I am Kimberly Shahan, Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki Master. I graduated from  The Academy of Massage and Bodywork, in Bear, DE. in 2014. I am nationally certified and licensed in Delaware. I studied Reiki, Level I and Level II under Master Brenda Irwin and then at Master level under Master Kerri Sullivan. I have taken over 250 hours of continuing education in massage therapy. I am constantly consuming content from other talented energy and body workers, attending workshops and reading on energy and body work. Most recently I am beginning to learn about becoming certified as a Trauma Informed Practitioner. My next bodywork study is Somatic Healing.  I believe the quote "The secret to mastery in any field is to forever be a student." -Martin Palmer


I am trained in Neuromuscular Therapy, swedish massage, and deep tissue massage. I love working with heated bamboo and the Fascia Blaster products. I formerly owned Brandywine Bodywork in North Wilmington, until 2019. Post pandemic I began working in Chiropractic Massage with various Chiropractic offices in Delaware until 2023 when I began working at Limestone Therapeutic Massage where I enjoy providing therapeutic services, including Workers Comp and Motor Vehicle Accidents (for which I'm certified with the State of Delaware).


Beginning in April of 2024 I will be offering more of my energy working services with a talented group of practioners, at The Three Peaces. As an energy worker, I enjoy helping my clients find balance and providing spiritual support by assisting clients to uncover their potential and embrace their personal power by removing blocks that prevent them from the pursuit of this purpose and providing ideas and projects that can help them become more balanced and passionate people. Later this spring I hope to host a few workshops at The Three Peaces.


I was born in Dayton, Ohio but have lived my whole life in Delaware. I lived in North Wilmington/Bellefonte for 30 years with my late husband Bill Shahan, Jr. We raised 3 beautiful daughters and share 8 grandchildren. Currently I enjoy spending time with my daughters and grandchildren here in Delaware. Several times a year I travel to spend time with my daughter, her husband and their pack in Naples, Florida. I enjoy being outdoors most of the time, kayaking and hiking are things I love and rarely get to do. I am passionate about music and movement!

REVIEWS for my massage services

Not only did I get a good massage, but Kim explained what she was doing and why, and also what was causing my pain and stretches to help alleviate it.

kim is a straight shooter--tells it like it is- no sugar coating about taking care of yourself and the importance of doing the things she suggests. she has always been professional and yet friendly. she takes the lead from the client whether the massage is a 'chatty' one or not. my visits are therapeutic so they are sometimes a bit more chatty than a massage for relaxation. I have had both and she has been respectfully quiet during the relaxing massages. her skill level is above and beyond any therapist i have seen in the past. i wish i were a famous rich person as i would bring her on as a permanent staff person --just like having a housekeeper or a chef.

I've been a client of Brandywine Bodywork for several years, but this is the first time that I've had Kim. She applied the right amount of pressure, worked all the major muscle groups, and totally put me at ease!

I paid for a general massage but Kimberly asked me if I had an problem areas. I told her my scapulas crunched sometimes. She worked on that area so well that my issue was gone when I left. Thank you!!!
