What My Clients Say...

"I've been struggling to find the right words to describe the three workshops I've attended that you have facilitated. Life altering may be too strong an adjective, but certainly, thanks to your leadership my life has changed for the better in many ways. I've been to many, many yoga-based workshops over the past few decades and few compare the level of care and professionalism that you reach. I feel safe in your hands because you thoroughly prepare and explain what's going to happen each time and your passion for helping others shines through. In my first workshop which was Restorative, I came in sore and hurting and left feeling great-no hip pain. The Yoga Nidra took me to a meditative level that calmed my mind so I felt healthier inside as well as out. And the icing on the cake was yesterday's Reiki. I'm glad we reviewed the "tapping" tips to boost the immune and lymphatic systems. They've become part of my daily routine along with brushing my teeth! The guided meditation that followed was probably the deepest I've experienced. During the Reiki session with the Reiki Master I had, I did feel a release in my tight shoulders but to be frank, it was secondary to your warmup.

"I would be amiss if I did not mention the beauty of live musicians-Jamie and Val-who added so much to setting the mood and tone for the workshops. It's the total experience you provide that has me hooked. You prepare meticulously, execute flawlessly, and share your knowledge in an intelligent but comprehensive way. I love the way you tackle so-called New Age theories and topics logically and with compassion. Thank you so much."
Lynn Allison

"I never truly believed in the healing power of massage until my first Thai massage with Kim. I swear Kim has magic hands. I can literally feel stress and tension melt away as she works over my muscles. She is amazingly talented in her movements. At times, she'll have both of her legs, her hands, and arms/elbows simultaneously massaging and stretching my body! She is soothing in both her words and motions. I walk away feeling two inches taller and as if my spine is as flexible as a jellyfish! Kim's Thai massage is simply the most amazing massage I've ever experienced!!"
Janis Coughlin

"Her voice, her words... will empower you. In teaching us to be mindful of our thoughts and our breathing, Kim has allowed us to open our hearts and focus on the present in gratitude. She is a true professional who will change your life in every positive way!"
Royce Gussack

"I have had a chronic neck and lower back problem for most of my adult life. I have tried physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, and several visits to the chiropractor. None of these therapies completely 'cured' my discomfort from my pinched nerve, or my extremely painful lower back problem. I just classified myself as someone who would always have some discomfort of varying degrees. Over the past two years the range of motion in my neck became very limited, to the point where sleeping became very difficult.
Since moving to Florida I have attended Kim's gentle yoga class as regularly as my schedule would permit. Gradually the range of motion in my neck has improved (to the point where I have no pain when I turn my head in either direction) and my lower back is so improved I no longer consider myself someone with a lower back 'problem'!!
I definitely have Kim to thank for all of this! In addition to yoga, I always look forward to my 'occasional' massage with her! From Canyon Ranch to Las Vegas to the Boca Resort, she is hands down the best massage I have ever had!
Mizner Country Club is lucky to have her!!!"
Jill Zapson

"Kim is an absolutely fabulous massage therapist. Living in New York, I have tried the best spas in the world and have not found anyone with Kim's spirit, technique and tranquility. My first email after booking my flights to Florida is to arrange a massage with Kim... she turns every visit into a vacation. I just wish I could be a weekly client!"
Stacy Green (NBC Universal)

"Thank you again Kim for the most wonderful yoga experience during my wedding weekend the end of January. You are an incredible person with such positive energy and I am so lucky that we were able to have you teach us. All of my friends can't stop raving about you!
Thank you again. Here are some pictures of the class."
Sloane Beinhacker

"I've experienced massage therapy in many different countries and from practioners trained in various disciplines, but I found your eclectic approach and instinctual expertise quite unique. While of course a massage treatment is basically a tactile experience, I appreciated your including of the other senses so necessary for a total immersion. Your use of aromatic oils for the olfactory sense; moist heat, & soothing music for the auditory all contribute to the total beneficial experience. Of course your sensitivity to the client's overall well-being and your "magic touch" are the chief ingredient creating a great result! Thanks again."
Elaina Zuker, author and psychologist

"I purchased the Chakra Journey CD, and it has been the most beneficial guided meditation I have ever heard. When I listen to the Chakra journey meditation to clear and balance my Chakras, I deeply experience the flow of divine energy pulsating through my being in a powerfully moving way. Kim's description of each Chakra, visualizations, and affirmations for each, guides my mind, reminding me of the Truth about my Self. The combination with the music - slow, heart-pulse-sounds with sustained tones & melodies, in the keys that resonate with each Chakra - leaves me with a feeling of freedom of movement through each region of my physical body, especially where I had felt blocked before, in the hips and low back. I really enjoy listening to the CD, and as a bonus, it is also helping me synthesize what I'm learning in my yoga teacher training courses. Every time I listen to it I hear new things and have an even deeper experience. It is a pleasure to recommend this beautiful offering."
Kim Kish

"I have been practicing yoga for quite some time in New York City. I have been to the finest spas like Miraval in Tuscon, Canyon Ranch Tuscon and Lenox, as well as Rancho La Puerto in Mexico. Of all the instructors I have had, Kim is my favorite! Her method of teaching is extraordinary. She leads us through all the postures and breathing with care and enthusiasm. Her voice is incredibly soothing. Her guided relaxation at the end of class done with gentle massage and aromatherapy is like getting a delicious free warm chocolate chip cookie after dining that you didn't expect the waitress to bring - such a gift!"
Dina Vamvakis

I have eagerly attended a number of Kim Hough's sessions. Kim is a wonderful teacher who exudes, what I call, the three R's...... relaxation, renewal and relief of anxiety and stress. She is a wonderful, calm, patient person and I am grateful to be able to take advantage of her talents.
For at least 24 hours, or more, after the session, my mind and body are calm. I do practice what she has taught me and I am a better person for doing that.
Edith Lee Grey

"You are such an amazing instructor. I love your classes and words and gentleness. You always give me hope and help me focus on my body and mind."
Melina Crabtree

"You are the lady with the most magical hands - the best massage ever! Thank you for all that you do for me."
Suzanne Gelb

"The best massage I ever had! Sorry to be returning to New York!"
Ellen Rothman

"To experience a massage with Kim is one of the greatest joys in my life. I always feel like a new person afterwards. She is very special."
Maxine Winick

"I have traveled around the world and have taken yoga classes in the finest places including Canyon Ranch and the Kripalu Center, you are the most brilliant teacher I have had and the best massage ever!"
Ruth Rosenberg

"Yoga with Kim is an ongoing journey of strengthening my body and my mind. Through soulful music and precise instruction accompanied by demonstration, Kim's classes have challenged my body to stretch and balance beyond my expectations. She has helped me come back from a bad fall that resulted in a broken leg and sprained ankle. Her soothing voice and spiritual manner have made yoga an important priority in my life."
Bonnie Feit

"I've had massages done by several people, some at 5-star hotels & spas, but I was bitterly disappointed each time because it wasn't Kim's. I never get massages done by anyone else because they just don't measure up to hers!"
Isabel Echarte

"Kim, without you I would not have the peace and serenity that I wake up each morning with. You have changed who I am for the better."
Rona Zelinka

"You are an inspiration and an incredibly gifted teacher!"
Nord and Suzanne Brue

"Kim is an excellent massage therapist and one of her specialties is Thai massage. I have been using her expert healing hands for over a year and the results to my shoulder have been amazing. I had very limited movement before. Remember Bob Hope had a massage every day and had his massage therapist travel with him. He lived to be over 100! Treat yourself and enjoy, it is worth it!"
Elliott Packer

"I have been going to Kim for massages for a little over 1 year now. After being involved in a very serious automobile accident and struggling with my strength and ease of mobility, I find that going to Kim for a massage is just as vital to my physical recovery as the physical therapy I engage in. When I started I was in a wheeel chair and now I am using a cane as needed. I have told Kim that sessions with her are not only relaxing and helpful physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. She likes to incorporate calming music and healing quotes that I find help me put things better in perspective. I walk into a session with Kim tight as a rod, and leave feeling as loose as a goose and can actually feel and see immediate effects in my body's alignment from the work she did on me."
Jordan Weiner

"I have been practicing yoga for 9 years and I attended Kim's Restorative Yoga Paired with Tibetan Bowls workshop in May 2009. For the first time in a long time the emotional walls that I had placed in my life surrounding relationships were melted away and I felt a sense of peace. I am on a journey of self discovery and this class placed me on a healing path to further develop my emotional acceptance of who I am in order to place me in a position of joy & peace rather than confusion & unhappiness. I am grateful to have found an outlet for me to seek forgiveness in order to move forward into daily joy."
Christine S.

I have been attending your relaxing yoga classes with Tibetan bowls and others with live music for the past year and I must say that the last class in Delray was really amazing! You definitely have a gift and I want to thank you for sharing your gift with others.
