Kim is certified in Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT). Her 10 plus years at the Center for Integrative Manual Therapy and Diagnostics (CenterIMT) were spent treating clients at the headquarters in Bloomfield, CT and as the clinical manager in Boulder, CO. Her job titles included, instructor for the Connecticut School of Integrative Manual Therapy; Director of Knowledge Management, Director of Neurodegenerative Disorders, and Director of VisionIMT.

A licensed Massage Therapist, Kim graduated from Sutherland-Chan (Toronto,1993) where she later taught clinical courses. She also studied cranial work focused on holistic healing, headaches, back pain, fatigue, neurological conditions, cranial circulation and more through the Upledger Institute, The Milne Institute, Canadian College of Osteopathy and had a private practice in Toronto for 5 years before joining the staff at CenterIMT.

The thing Kim loved most about working for CenterIMT was the opportunity to see positive changes in clients with a dismal medical forecast. She has had the good fortune to see so many positive changes, changes that many would consider miraculous or impossible. That experience has really ignited her ability to see that anything is possible.

At CenterIMT, Kim enjoyed traveling and broadening her global perspective on health. She consulted with clients in Hong Kong, Israel and Italy, as well as treating people from all over the world in Bloomfield, CT. One highlight was speaking at the ""Defeat Autism Now"" 2007 conference in Verona, Italy. In 2008, she spoke about ""Using Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Alzheimer's Disease"" at the Connecticut Alzheimer's Association annual meetings.

To her clinical practice, Kim brings expertise as a Certified Hypnotherapist and Certified Matrix Energetics Practitioner. These tools allow her to interact with the client holistically, focus on shifts and help clients see significant improvements in symptoms. She has a strong grasp on reference material, research and morphic fields, which she taps into during treatment sessions.

Familiar with a wide range of nutritional therapies, Kim is a nutritional specialist (2006) and studied homotoxicology (2004) with Heel and phytotherapy (2009) with Kerry Bones.

A proficient writer with the ability to clearly explain health concerns and hands-on approaches, Kim is the editor of The Burnham Review, a twice monthly e-newsletter reviewing the medical and scientific evidence supporting the use and benefits of manual therapy, energy medicine and other forms of complementary and alternative medicine.

Referring to the first time working with an individual, Kim says, "I believe, what we expect and observe, influences what we get. People in my practice can expect my full attention as well as positive changes and progress with their goals. It is best to come to the first session having thought about your goals. If anything, truly anything, can shift about your health, your life, your relationships, your way of being in the world, what do you want? What does "better" look and feel like for you."

Each Evidence Based Issue is a review of the medical literature and other evidence of the benefit and effectiveness of Complementary and Alternative Medicine including Manual Therapy approaches (Integrative Manual Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Muscle Energy, Strain and Counterstrain, Compression Syndromes, Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, Reiki, Integrative Medicine, etc), Sound and Frequencies Therapies (BioSolutions); Transformational Consciousness Approaches (Matrix Energetics), Functional approaches (Yoga, Qigong, etc) and Biophysiography / Nutritional Wellness (Homeopathy, Biophysiography, Herbal Formulas, Foods) for a wide range of conditions.

The Burnham Review focuses on Integrative Manual Therapy, a hands-on approach with treatment techniques which address biomechanics (how the joints and musculoskeletal system move and functions), motilities and circadian rhythms reflective of the physiology or how the organs, the heart, lungs, glands, thyroid, adrenals, etc function and flow and reflex points including Synchronizers, Hypothalamus Regulation Mechanisms and Reference points which address the way the nervous system interacts and works with all other structures and tissues in the body.

We also explore, Integrative Medicine approaches which include manual therapy techniques as well as nutritional and functional approaches, which are support by evidence based medical literature. The Burnham Review gathers resources and information on various conditions.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatments (OMT) are being encouraged for infectious disorders, influenza, even potential Bird Flu epidemics and other pandemics. By encouraging mobility in the area around the spleen, liver and thymus as well as improving lymphatic drainage, holistic health care practitioners can complement each other’s treatment as well as allopathic approaches. There is evidence that Yoga and Acupuncture as well as other manual therapy approaches can benefit people with seizures and epilepsy. Also consider the research into the benefits of Infra-Red Saunas (TheraSauna).

Back, Disc & Neck pain and joint dysfunctions, so common in the United States, are well addressed by Complementary Medicine approaches. Check out some of the Free Back Issues, including ones on the benefits of touch, Neurofascial Process and Integrative Manual Therapy.

Manual Therapy Practitioners are joining with other Complementary and Alternative Medicine practitioners to bring about Peace, using manual therapy as a Cultural Bridge to help people feel better, function better and make better choices for themselves and their communities. CAM practitioners also address environmental concerns with Green Health Care approaches. The Teleosis Institute has a list of a wide range of health care practitioners working to improve the health or people, animals and the planet.

Energy Medicine Practitioners are seeing shifts and changes with Matrix Energetics Frequencies, Reiki, Rife Frequencies (BioSolutions) and More. While many health care practitioners are developing better relationships and communication with Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Integrative Diagnostics and Applied Psychosynthesis (IDAP) and Self Regulation Therapy (SRT).

Matrix Energetics, developed by Richard Bartlett is a complete system of healing, self-care and transformation. Drawing on quantum physics, scalar wave technology, superstring theory, archetypes, morphic fields, intention, awareness and observation, it has physical and observable effects.

Complete beginners as well as seasoned health care practitioners are able to perform and utilize this work to affect changes It can be done in-person with light touch, on yourself and through distance healing sessions. Matrix Energetics transforms beliefs concerning healing, disease, chronic pain and the structure of reality.

Matrix Energetics is mind blowing fun as well as an advanced technology and as Arthur C. Clark said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

     Massage Magazine Asked: How have your clients’ knowledge and expectations of massage changed over the years?
     Here is what you told us........My clients are more knowledgeable about their bodies, their anatomy and the locations of various internal structures. They know more about nutrition, exercises and stress than ever before and how these things affect their health and ability to do the things they want to do in their lives. I have been a massage therapist for 13 years; the last eight years I have been doing integrative manual therapy in my clinical practice. I feel like clients’ expectations continue to rise as a result of feeling better and functioning better with treatment. They tell their friends how well they are doing, and their friends expect more from the treatment session. My clients are also more educated about what they can do to help themselves. I encourage them to notice how they feel, set goals and do homework programs…to help themselves feel better between treatment sessions. Kimberly Burnham, Bloomfield, Connecticut

     Education. Massage therapy and complementary medicine modalities have a wonderful effect on health and well being. The more people who experience these benefits the better the public image of massage therapy will be. With the advent of the internet, facebook, and so many other social and business networks, massage therapists can post testimonials or descriptions of their personal experience with massage therapy. They can encourage clients to do the same. In this way more and more people will hear positive things about massage therapy and the overall image will improve. I have a page on my new website with links to places where clients can post comments.

     People with Parkinson’s disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease and affecting 1.5 million Americans or approximately 1% of the population over 50, are looking for the best the medical system has to offer.

     The May issue of The Burnham Review looks at the research which supports the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. There is research in peer reviewed, medical journals that indicated that people with Parkinson’s Disease should at least consider an Integrative Medicine approach that includes, Osteopathic Manual Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Integrative Manual Therapy, Qigong, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Alexander Technique, and Music Therapy.....

BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Chances of surviving a deadly avian flu pandemic would likely increase with hands-on therapy, even without antiviral drugs, a U.S. health newsletter says. Integrative manual therapy in the area of the spleen and liver, for instance, would help fluid, blood and lymph flow appropriately, significantly boosting people's immune systems and helping them endure the feared pandemic, The Burnham Review said.

The avian H5N1 flu -- spreading from birds to other animals and people in Asia, Europe and Africa -- has claimed at least 245 human lives, the Geneva-based World Health Organization says. Healthy young adults are at greatest risk, the WHO says. Epidemiologists are afraid the next time the virus mutates, it could pass from human to human, resulting in a pandemic that could kill 60 percent of the people who catch it.

The precedent that experts fear is the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which killed an estimated 100 million people worldwide -- often healthy young adults, The Burnham Review said. The review said flu patients back then who received manipulative therapy had a 0.25 percent mortality rate, compared to a 6 percent U.S. average. "The results are striking," Editor Kimberly Burnham told United Press International. "Some gentle manipulative therapy resulted in a dramatic difference in mortality," said Burnham, who has a doctorate in integrative medicine from Westbrook University.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Julie Gerberding calls an avian flu pandemic "the most important (health) threat that we are facing right now." © 2008 United Press International, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
