About Ken

Ken Shim, RMTIt is a privilege to be trusted by so many people to help them achieve their goals of health & wellness. It is always exciting seeing people free themselves from pain and change their lives.

I have been an RMT for over 5 years, but I am still always learning new techniques and approaches to healing and incorporating them into my treatments.  Each new approach  is like a key that unlocks another secret of the human body.  It answers a few questions, raises so many more and often turns my understanding of massage therapy upside down.

Outside of work, I love music (my iPod runneth over) and travelling (I spent some good times wandering, seeing as much of the world as I could).  Now that I have settled down in Toronto, I’m always looking for new ways to blend my work with my travelling.
