About Kimberly
A native Vermonter, Death Doula and Integrative Somatic and Energetic Healing Practitioner, Kimberly Marsha began her own personal healing with trauma twenty-five years ago. As she has developed her awareness and found language to understand the process of unraveling deeply embedded patterns, she found comfort in learning how the body relates to its environment by listening closely to the nervous system and implementing practices.
​
Kimberly’s integrative approach to bodywork combines the principles of somatic healing and Polarity Therapy. Nearing two decades of training in various modalities, Kimberly draws from her deep knowledge and sensitivity to the body's subtle energy systems. She utilizes touch as a grounding tool for release and relaxation while recognizing that our bodies extend beyond physicality, encompassing the emotional, spiritual, and energetic aspects of your being. This intentional presence creates a nurturing environment where you have the opportunity to experience a transformative self-awareness through touch and energetic spaciousness.
​
Long before Kimberly received any formal training and education in end of life care she began tending to those in need as an ancient death doula for family, friends, pets and creatures of all kinds. More recently her work with the dying envelopes each phase between the physical body and soul. Kimberly offers support with planning and preparation, including Advanced Directives, legacy work and resources for those transitioning and their families. Kimberly is available to be present as a companion during the tender and sacred time before and into the active dying period.
