Kimberly J. Demar, B.A.S.W., is the heart behind Stretch Assist, bringing over 30 years of experience helping individuals achieve their physical and personal wellness goals.
A graduate of the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 1996, Kimberly began her career in hands-on bodywork, developing a deep understanding of movement, muscle function, and physical alignment.
She owned and operated a private massage practice for over a decade, working closely with clients to relieve pain, restore mobility, and support overall physical well-being.
Her Journey
Experience, Compassion, and a Whole-Person Approach to Wellness
Expertise & Experience
Her early foundation in bodywork continues to shape her approach today. Kimberly has an innate ability to assess the body through how it moves, allowing her to identify limitations and areas of imbalance with precision. Through simple, clear communication using both direction and demonstration, she helps clients improve flexibility, enhance connected movement, and feel more confident in their bodies.
Driven to expand her impact, Kimberly later pursued a degree in social work, building a career that spans over 30 years in health and human services. Her experience includes case management, direct care, and leadership roles, including serving as a Wellness and Activities Director where she developed and led programs supporting over 100 residents.
