EXPERT FACULTY THAT TRULY CARES:
Kim M. Green, founder
IMT, STR, Advanced curriculum instructor
Advanced Therapy Institute of Touch was founded by Kim M. Green, a dedicated bodyworker for over 30 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 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 piqued 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.
Sara McMurry - ADMISSIONS COORDINATOR
Sara McMurry grew up with all things natural and holistic. She has been working with light therapy since a child and understands the dynamics of healing in an extremely profound way. Her life and health have been impacted deeply by alternative health. At such a young age she is the next generation that will help the world shift to a new paradigm where the knowledge that we hold will hopefully be common knowledge. The days of hidden processes and trade secrets should be put to an end and everyone should know how to care for themselves and their families. Nobody should monopolize health and not share life with others. It will be her generation that takes back our birth right.
Sara brings an understanding to students who she engages with as our Colorado Springs Admissions Coordinator.
