Meet Kim Hansen, Calgary Massage Therapist
A Passion for Helping People Feel Better
For over 30 years, Kim Hansen, RMT, has been passionate about the art and science of massage therapy. A graduate of the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Ontario, she has remained steadfastly committed to helping people feel better through personalized massage therapy.
I had a little bit of talent for science, and I just thought it was a good match for me.
An Approach Rooted in Science and Connection
Kim practices science-based Swedish remedial massage therapy, guided by a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. “Most healthcare professionals do not get an hour with their patients, so it’s quite rewarding,” she notes. That dedicated time allows her to give each individual her complete attention, tailoring her approach to meet their unique needs.
Across her multi-decade career, Kim has worked alongside doctors of medicine, chiropractors, and osteopaths, experiences that have deepened her respect for evidence-based care and interdisciplinary collaboration. She finds it particularly meaningful to contribute her expertise within Core Health Centre, where the integration of structural and soft-tissue care enhances outcomes for patients.
Kim’s commitment to connection extends beyond the treatment room. Her passion for travel and exploration has broadened her appreciation for different cultures, approaches to health, and ways of living well. The mountains, in particular, serve as a constant reminder of balance, strength, and renewal—qualities she brings into her practice every day. By combining scientific rigor with genuine human connection, Kim offers care that is both effective and deeply personal.
An Calgary-Based Practitioner Who Values People
Living in our dynamic city offers Kim the best of both worlds: proximity to nature and a bustling urban community. Whether you’re feeling aches from your daily run along the Bow River Pathway, sore legs from cycling in Fish Creek Provincial Park, or simply tight from long hours at your downtown office desk, Kim understands the everyday demands Calgarians face.
That perspective makes her work especially meaningful, as she connects with people not just through massage, but through a shared appreciation of the city’s active lifestyle. She particularly enjoys the conversations and perspectives her downtown corporate clientele brings to each session.
Professional Dedication and Personal Balance
Outside the practice, Kim values the importance of restoration and balance. She dedicates time to reading, meditation, and quiet reflection, recognizing that the ability to care deeply for others begins with maintaining her own well-being. She is also passionate about travel and exploration, finding inspiration in experiencing diverse cultures and perspectives. The mountains hold a special place in her life, offering both challenge and renewal—whether through hiking, solitude in nature, or simply appreciating their beauty. This blend of reflection, adventure, and discovery allows her to return to her professional work with clarity, energy, and a broadened outlook.
