Kristoff Healing Arts

For Referring Providers

A Referral Partner You Can Trust With Your Patients' Recovery

Clinically trained, physician-coordinated massage therapy and bodywork --- complementary care that works alongside your treatment plan, never in place of it.

I'm Kimberly Kristoff, a CA Certified / CT Licensed Massage Therapist with 26 years of full-time clinical experience. My practice exists to be a safe, dependable extension of the care you already provide --- whether that's trauma recovery, preparation for surgery or post-surgical recovery, or prenatal and postpartum care, oncology support and cancer survivor care, chronic pain management, or whole-person integrative care for wellness. I built my referral relationships on the same standard your practice holds itself to: careful intake, safety-first technique, and clear communication back to your team.

Referring A Patient

Referring a patient is simple: have your patient call or text me directly at (203) 550-0193, or send a note through my Contact page and I'll follow up with them and your office. I'm also happy to provide printed reference materials for your front desk, meet with you or your staff to discuss how I can support a shared patient, or answer any questions about scope, safety, or coordination before you refer.

My work is complementary, not a substitute for medical care. I don't diagnose, treat, or claim to cure any medical condition. Every session is designed to support --- never interfere with --- the treatment plan you and your patient have already established.

Questions? Call or text (203) 550-0193, or reach out via the Contact page. I look forward to partnering with you in your patients' care.
