Current faculty:
Kim M. Green, founder
IMT, STR, Advanced curriculum instructor, Colorado Springs
Advanced Therapy Institute of Touch was founded by Kim M. Green, a dedicated bodyworker for over 20+ years since 1992. ATIT has brought in leaders from all over the world to teach over the years. Kim has practiced and studied both professionally & independently with the internal/healing arts of Judo/Shiatsu, Structural Release, Chinese Acupressure, Reiki and Energetic Bodywork. She has decades of study in structure, cranial, lymphatics, Chapmans, fascia, TBI, disease, repetitive syndromes, somatic bodywork, trauma, PTSD, assault, rape and addiction. Through a diversity of trainings and learning from a traditional Judo Master her interest was peaked about eastern practices. Kim began researching ancient bodywork scripts from the orient at the same time she was learning hands-on from her teachers, thus resulting in her own two unique approaches. Integrative Meridian Therapy and Somatic Trauma Release are a result of a lifetime of research, reading, training, facilitation and practice. ATIT is a state licensed occupational trade school and specializes in Integrative Meridian Therapy and Somatic Trauma Release Certification. Additionally, we offer continuing education credits and shorter certification programs in a multitude of different areas of study.
