Dr. Kimberly Kraus | Medical Board Director
Dr. Kimberly Kraus our Medical Spa and Laser Center Medical Board Director.
“For as long as I can remember, I have always had a deep desire to help others. Becoming a physician gave me the perfect platform to do this. My goal is to provide kind and compassionate care throughout a woman’s life. I want my patients to know that they have an advocate and someone to listen to their individual needs, because we are all different. Good medical care comes from getting to know my patients and offering specialized care. I view being a physician as a gift from God and am blessed to be present in so many important events in someone’s life.”

My name is Penny I’ve been an LMT. for 26 years.

My goal is to provide clients with the best massage experience. Studies show that massage hold benefits both physically and mentally. I would love to see you but even if you don’t come to me, please go and experience it for yourself. I myself am a client of massage and it has helped me to continue my career as a therapist as well as a cosmetologist. My favorite modality is Lymph. It is a very powerful form of massage. Lymph drainage is mainly for persons that have had lymph removal and they now have swelling.
Another use for Lymph is for face and sinus drainage which is a very effective way to elevate fluid in the lymph system around the face and neck. Lymph can also assist in the process of detoxing, as well as all forms of massage do assist in the body detoxing and eliminating waste. I also offer relaxation, deep tissue, hot stone, hot bamboo, cold stone, positional release, post surgery, pre natal, and infant massage. Both post surgery and infant massage require doctor approval.
