Kimba – Brightness Within

One of the best massages I’ve ever had, and I’ve had countless. Thanks!

I found Kimba through Unilocal and so glad that I did. The five-​star ratings were right on target. I am not sure if it is her intuition combined with a great knowledge and understanding of anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology — but Kimba focused on areas that we discussed and then some areas that really needed attention. I am in the middle of marathon training and she really helped with specific issues around that, also with flexibility and injury recovery, and worked with some trigger points and accupressure points that I hadn’t mentioned. I have already recommended Kimba to some work friends and running friends and I look forward to my next massage. Oh yes, and to make things easier, there is free parking at her office.

Kimba is an amazing masseuse. I got regular massages when I was going through an emotional time and she made me feel cared for and listened to. She’s incredibly good and feels to me like a natural — and I’ve had massages all over the world. (It’s my vice. «In different area codes»…lol… you get my drift!) Anyways, I appreciate her kindness with me and understanding of what I needed. Thanks so much Kimba…

Kimba is a phenomenal massage therapist! She listens to what is going on and adapts the session to your needs. Well-​priced packagesShe’s incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. Kimba is my go-​to girl for a great massage!

I’ve been getting massages regularly for years. Kimba is by far the best masseuse I have had. She pays attention to the knots and really works then out and she has a calmness about her that is so great to be around. I highly recommend her!

Best Massage Ever!
I’ve had a lot of massage and have never know a therapist who will give such an intuitive massage focusing on the areas that really need help!
Highly recommended —

Very strong massage as per my request. She worked hard to get all my knots out. Enjoyed it greatly. Kind lady. Highly recommend.

Most helpful massage I’ve ever had! I made an appointment with Kimba yesterday as a desperate last resort for my neck and shoulder pain that resulted in a migraine. While at points it was so painful that I teared up, it was exactly what I needed. She knew exactly where my pain was coming from and she seemed so determined to release my tense muscles. It was definitely not a relaxing massage, but absolutely a therapeutic one.

Kimba is hands-​down the best massage therapist I’ve been to. The experience is so centering that I wish I could go every week (let’s make that every day!). Not only does Kimba get in touch with the problem points on your body, but she provides a thoroughly healing experience with her kind demeanor, clear insight, and positive energy. While I’ve been struggling with muscle/​lower back tension for a couple years, going to a couple different massage therapists, and trying to find ways through chiropractic, cold lasers, etc., to help it, Kimba found and dealt with the muscles that are problematically tense for me. Seriously the best.

I have had a number of massages in my day and NONE has compared to Kimba. She has an incredible knowledge of anatomy and function but at the same time an intuitive understanding of the body. She has incredible strength and a way of finding exactly what you need. When I was pregnant, she went out of her way to make me comfortable and adjust the massage to my needs a the time. I have been gifted massages with others since meeting Kimba and it isn’t even worth going because NO ONE compares to the skill of Kimba. She is fantastic.

The atmosphere in Kimbas massage room is wonderful. The temperature of the room was perfect for a massage, neither hot or cold. I was feeling very tense from a serious lack of rest (due to work, social life, workouts etc) and the deep tissue massage I recieved from Kimba was excellent, she has a gentle firmness that really helps relaxation during deep tissue massage (which usually hurts really bad). Certainly there were a few times I winced or took a really deep breath but that is only because she found some serious knots and worked those suckers out. Feeling much more open and relaxed still a week later! I love that she is in ocean beach! Can’t wait to return!

Kimba was amazing and found knots I didn’t even know I had!!! Felt great afterwards! I will be going back to see her and highly recommend her!
THANKS KIMBA!

There is not a better massage therapist on earth. I have been to fancy spas and far away places looking for massage nirvana but came up empty. That was until I found Kimba and the stress and back pain melted away. I simply cannot believe how talented she is. Forget about every massage that you have had before. Nothing will compare to Kimba. Somehow she combines powerful deep tissue work with a peaceful relaxing touch that satisfies the muscles and the soul.

My wife and I scheduled back to back massages with Kimba on vacation. Hands down– two of the best massages ever. We highly recommend her. Awesome deep tissue/​sports massage.

Kimba is the best! It’s actually hard for me to write this review because I want to be selfish and not tell you guys about her, so I can easily get a last minute appointment. That’s not nice of me though, so I will share.
Kimba is a well trained massage therapist who listens to your body and creates a peaceful, relaxed environment to get your massage in. I had gone to Kimba a handful of times when she was at The Hidden Spa. Then I didn’t see her listed on their website anymore and my heart broke. I was so thrilled to find that she started her own business! I live up in North County and if I’m willing to drive that far to get a massage from her, she has to be GOOD!
Her hands are so strong! I often feel sore when I leave, but that’s by choice. I love how she has the power to work out my knots and leave me wanting more. I always enter the massage feeling like a tightly wound ball of fire, but then by the end I look like I just smoked a bowl or something. It’s wild, the effect she has on your body.
If you’re looking for a fast and cheap massage, go somewhere else. If you’re looking for a great massage that will leave you wanting more, more, more — then go see Kimba. She’ll become your new bestie.

I had my first massage with Kimba when she was at Hidden Spa and I have to echo everyone else who says she’s definitely the best massage therapist! I’ve tried so many other places through Groupon, Living Social, etc, but I had always left disappointed afterwards. After my first massage with Kimba, I realized she’s the only one who can apply a consistently deep pressure that relieves all my knots and aches. I also appreciate the hot stones and towels she incorporates into the massage. I’ll keep coming back!

Kimba is an unbelievable massage therapist. I am so glad a friend recommended her as I will be going regularly from now on.

I am a massage therapist myself and Kimba is my therapist. She has been healing my body since massage school and she just gets better and better. Her work is deep and not just her pressure, her energy work combined with the physical work keeps my body going so I can keep working. I recently did some yoga with her and my teen-​age daughter and it was fun. My teen-​ager keeps bugging me to go and do more yoga, and that’s a miracle in its self. I highly recommend Kimba.

I travel from Arizona to southern California often, and a massage with Kimba is always, ALWAYS, on my calendar when I get to Ocean Beach. She is without a doubt the most gifted and talented LMT I’ve ever experienced. I would say that her touch is firm, and her pressure leans toward deep… but she knows exactly how to read the body, and how to push a bit into deep tissue where needed. Kimba will utilize hot stones and hot towels, working those tools into her massage with such finesse and flow that you wonder at her smoothness… does she have four hands? did an assistant silently enter the room? No, she’s that good. And if her schedule allows, and you can do 90 minutes… do it. She is the most accomodating therapist in that way.
I get a lot of massages, mostly Swedish… and Kimba is the only person I’d trust with deep tissue work when I need it. In addition, she is the best I’ve ever experienced at a true Swedish massage, for relaxation and stress relief as well. I remember being amazed t he first time she treated me, and asking… where on earth did you study? Where on earth indeed. She is amazing. There aren’t enough stars in 5 stars … so imagine a few more.

Kimba is hands down the best massage therapist I have ever been to. I have been going to her for four years for pain and stress relief, and am so excited to see her branch out into her own independent practice.
Her massage style if very intuitive, using a mix of deep tissue, hot stones and other techniques depending on what the body is needing — and I always walk away feeling both relaxed and energized. She does amazing body and energy work, is unquestionably a healer, and understands the body in from both the kinetic and anatomical perspective. Amazingly, she has cured me of ailments that doctors have been baffled by just by a simple understanding of the interrelatedness of the body. Who wouldn’t trade a visit to the doctor for a healing massage???
Kimba is also just a flat out excellent person, makes me feel extremely comfortable and always tailors the massage depending on my physical and emotional needs.
I would recommend Kimba far and wide. The only thing I would add is that her schedule tends to book up fairly fast, so it’s always best to book as far in advance as possible. Happy massaging!
