If you are looking for a healer, Kim is your magician! I was introduced to this incredible studio by a colleague/friend of mine, and she spoke very highly of Sukha Happens. Of course, me being a true yelper, searched and discovered many great reviews. It was then decided, I've got to schedule. The online scheduling process was extremely user friendly, and immediately sent an email confirmation with the details of my deep tissue massage appointment... I've been working heavily lately, so I knew I was in severe need of self care, my only hope was that Kim could help ease my physical discomfort. I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment, the door was unlocked, and upon entry I noticed the cleanliness of the yoga studio, and the organization of the many products offered. In addition, there was the amazing scent of sage burning (spiritual satisfaction) so now my senses are heightened and anticipation is rising. A short moment later, out came Kim with a very bright smile and open arms. We had a great opportunity to briefly get to know one another prior to my treatment while also completing the registration. I told her what I needed her to focus on, and she made note of it. During my phenomenal treatment I was mentally taking back to childhood ages when I could float in the bath tub and all of my body was relaxed, a time where there was no pain, no hurt, no job, no bills, and certainly no stress... Needless to say, by the end of the massage, everywhere there was tension, was a sensation of relief. I am so grateful I got the chance to schedule with Kim. I'm am now, a regularly satisfied customer read more

I love love Stormey's massagesI am 68 years young and work out frequently so I have the usual aches and pains!! I have a rotator cuff and bicep muscle injury and Stormey has helped me tremendously with the inflammation. She has used a variety of techniques to help me live almost pain-free!

Due to muscle pain/injury in neck, back, shoulders and arms from a car accident, I have been in need of some healing/relief. I was determined to get an appt. with someone soon to relieve my pain, however didn't want to settle with just anyone, I found Sukha/Kim thanks to yelp!! Let me just start by saying I LOVE KIM! :) From the second I walked in and formally met her, I could feel I was in great hands. Kim has a positive, peaceful energy to her that I felt right away. That alone instantly set the tone for me. My massage was exactly what my sore body needed. She hit all the deep points in my muscles where I was hurting the most without me telling or showing her. Points in my muscles that were bruised, that I DIDN'T even know were there. She just knew! My next appt. is already booked for next week. I'll end this review by saying, some people are just born to do what they do and Kim is exactly that. A true natural healer... It's a wrap, I'm done searching for one. :) read more

Amazing,experience, listen to your issues relating to pain and leave much better. Happy. Content.

I highly recommend Stormey as massage therapist. I work in a high stress environment that causes much physical and mental fatigue. Her massages help relieve the fatigue, aches, and headaches very much. I feel lighter and refreshed. I feel so very much ready to conquer the next hurtles that lay before me. Sukha offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. A safe haven near the beautiful Puget Sound in the heart of downtown Des Moines near the marina. Professional and talented staff ready to administer healing, peace, and serenity in the form of massage, yoga, and healing arts to those in need. read more

I have chronic pain and really struggled finding things to help my pain. When I had my first appointment I left here feeling amazing, I continue to see Kim for my deep tissue massages. I have seen Stormey as well and she does an amazing job too. I recommend anyone coming here to get a massage just to relax or to get your body to calm down. The staff is incredible with what they know and they are so very kind as well. Really thankful I found Sukha, otherwise I'd be struggling way more than I need to be. Love this place! read more

I look forward to seeing her every week. read more

Late post: I must say that I love Kim at Sukha! She is by far the BEST massage therapist I've ever gone to. I started seeing Kim about 9 months ago for prenatal massage and now after the birth of my son I cannot wait to go back!

I really can only say the greatest things about her; she's amazing. read more

The owner, Kim, is by far the best massage therapist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! Kim is in tune with people and life in general and her connection with the world makes her massages much more than an exercise in muscle movement. She gladly shares her knowledge with anybody lucky enough to walk through her door. Sukha is so much more than a just a place to get a massage. A massage at Sukha is a full body, mind, and soul experience! I highly recommend Kim, and Sukha, for massage, yoga, meditation, whatever you need to rediscover and/or center your life.

We have been needing a place like this in Des Moines! So excited it's here!

Having had many massages in different locations, I will never need to find another. Kim is by far the BEST massage therapist i have experienced. She is very "in tune" to your needs and connects on every level. She makes you feel completely comfortable and manages to find all those areas that need to be focused on. I would highly recommend you give Sukha a try. You will not be disappointed!! read more

I was more than happy and quickly booked my next appointment so that I will always have something to look forward to. read more

The ONE thing I miss about living in the Pacific Northwest...massage from Kim! If you are within 2 days travel of Sukha do yourself a favor and book a massage. You won't be sorry! Absolutely the best of the best. read more

I've been going to Sukha for over a year. Kim is so amazing and easy to connect with. The classes are small and Kim is adept at giving each student individual attention and feedback! Her meditation sessions are fabulous and really help you focus. Kim focuses on the function of yoga and perfecting your movements for maximum benefits. Kim's massages are even better. She is so in tune with your body and knows exactly where you need work. I can't recommend Sukha highly enough. read more

Multiple sports injuries/martial arts injuries were capped off with 2 fractured vertebrae from a surfing accident. Now that the fractures have healed, I am trying to avoid fusion surgery. Kim is the massage therapist who has made it possible for me to live with the injury and not have the surgery. Kim is the best, both technically and spiritually. Sukha Happens has a warm happy vibe, this is from Kim. I am conflicted in that by writing this she'll get even busier. Yoga classes are small with lots of personal attention, great for beginners like me. read more
