Meet Kimber Borell: Nearly Two Decades of Hands-On Expertise

Gingerly Touch is owned and led by Kimber Borell, a licensed, board-certified massage therapist with nearly 20 years of experience in therapeutic bodywork. Her approach is often described as both “spicy and sweet”—a balance of firm, effective techniques with a deeply nurturing presence that helps clients feel safe, seen, and supported throughout each session ( gingerly-touch.com ).

Over the years, Kimber has developed a reputation in Austin for working skillfully with complex needs—from chronic tension and TMJD to post-surgical swelling and prenatal discomfort—always with an emphasis on nervous system regulation and long-term wellness, not just quick fixes.

Thoughtfully Curated Services for Body, Face, and Lymphatic Health

Gingerly Touch offers a range of services designed to support both relaxation and specific therapeutic outcomes. Every session is tailored to your body, your history, and your goals for healing.

Therapeutic Massage for Deep Relief

Integrative, therapeutic massage at Gingerly Touch blends deep tissue, myofascial work, and targeted trigger-point techniques to unwind stubborn tension patterns. This style is ideal if you’re dealing with desk-related neck and shoulder pain, athletic overuse, or chronic tightness that standard spa massage hasn’t quite resolved ( healthhives.com ).

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Recovery & Immune Support

Manual lymphatic drainage is one of the studio’s specialties. Using gentle, rhythmic strokes, Kimber encourages lymph flow to help reduce swelling, support detoxification, and assist the body’s natural healing processes. This service is especially supportive for post-surgery recovery, people managing inflammation, and anyone looking to bolster overall immune support ( healthhives.com ).

Facial Sculpting & Intraoral Massage for TMJD and Tension

For clients experiencing jaw pain, clenching, or TMJ-related symptoms, Gingerly Touch offers facial sculpting with intraoral (buccal) massage. This advanced technique involves both external facial work and gentle, gloved massage inside the mouth to release deep layers of tension. Many clients report this as transformative for TMJD relief, headaches, and overall facial softness ( healthhives.com ).

Gentle facial and intraoral work can ease TMJD symptoms and soften chronic jaw tension.

Prenatal Massage for Expecting Parents

Gingerly Touch is also known for its nurturing prenatal massage. Using pregnancy-safe positioning and techniques, Kimber helps ease low back pain, hip discomfort, swelling, and general fatigue, while creating a space where expecting parents can truly rest. Reviews frequently highlight how supported and cared for clients feel throughout pregnancy ( local.yahoo.com ).

In-Home Services for Comfort and Convenience

For those recovering from surgery, navigating late pregnancy, or simply preferring to stay in, Gingerly Touch offers select in-home services. Bringing therapeutic and lymphatic care directly to you can make a significant difference in comfort, especially when driving or commuting feels overwhelming.

Who Gingerly Touch Serves

While every body is welcome, the studio is particularly well-suited for:

• Clients seeking deep relaxation in a calm, private setting

• Those needing clear therapeutic outcomes for chronic tension or pain

• Individuals in post-surgery recovery who benefit from gentle lymphatic support

• People seeking TMJD relief and help with jaw clenching, headaches, or facial tightness

• Anyone looking to gently enhance immune support through lymphatic and nervous system–aware bodywork

Finding Gingerly Touch Online: Instagram, Yelp & ClassPass

Gingerly Touch has a growing digital footprint. Prospective clients often discover the studio through Instagram for updates and glimpses into the space, and through Yelp, where reviews consistently praise Kimber’s skill, presence, and the studio’s calming atmosphere ( local.yahoo.com ; reviews.birdeye.com ).

While many Austin studios rely on multi-studio platforms, Gingerly Touch is also noted for its availability on ClassPass, making it easier for members to explore specialized therapeutic and lymphatic care without leaving their usual booking ecosystem.
