Kay Troan Bashford, CNMT
Kay opened Benessere Body in Balance, a full-service wellness center in Minneapolis, in 2005. After nine years running a busy one-person Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) practice, Benessere is the fulfillment of Kay's professional dream to provide a full range of holistic care that effectively addresses clients' health care concerns.

Kay studied directly with Paul St. John, the developer of St. John's Neuromuscular Therapy, receiving her certification as a Neuromuscular Therapist (CNMT) in 1996. In addition to her private practice, Kay traveled across North America teaching the St. John method to doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists, and chiropractors.

With Kay's 15 years of clinical and teaching experience, you can count on receiving some of the best NMT services in the country. In fact, Kay has clients who regularly drive over 200 miles for treatment, and some of her clients even fly in from as far away as New Mexico and New York. Kay also works on professional athletes, including players with the Chicago Bulls, the Minnesota Twins, and the Minnesota Vikings.

It's the hope in her clients' eyes and the progress they make that gives Kay passion for the work she does. Life becomes more limited when someone is in excruciating pain. "They come in hoping you can help," Kay says, "and when you do, it changes their life. When you see people become strong and healthy, they beam. You can see it in their eyes that their love of life is back. They start to challenge themselves in ways that they thought they had to stop, like running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or even just getting out of bed comfortably in the morning."
