Meet Sharon Kim, a Registered Massage Therapist at Joayo Therapy whose own experience with chronic pain following a car accident shapes how she approaches patient care — she understands firsthand how much an injury can affect daily life.
Her Approach to Care
Sharon believes that massage can do more than relieve tension and reduce stress — it can also support care for musculoskeletal pain and injuries. She places a strong emphasis on prevention and ongoing care, focusing not just on symptom relief but also on helping patients manage their condition over time. Patient education is a big part of her practice, helping clients better understand their condition and the steps that may support their recovery.
A Focus on Prenatal & Postpartum Care
Sharon is especially passionate about working with clients through pregnancy and postpartum recovery. As a mother of two herself, she brings genuine understanding to this stage of life and finds real meaning in supporting other mothers through it.
Background
Sharon was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, and immigrated to Canada in 2014. She holds a bachelor’s degree in biology and food science from Korea and graduated from Vancouver Career College’s massage therapy program in 2021. Outside the clinic, she enjoys hiking and exploring mountains and lakes with family and friends.
If you’re looking for a massage therapist who considers both your symptoms and your individual needs, Sharon and our team at Joayo Therapy in Brentwood, Burnaby are here to help.
