Deborah Kimmet


Deborah Kimmet, owner of PMT Seminars, teaches postural and movement reeducation courses that focus on integrating movement into practitioners' current hands-on practice. Deborah brings to this seminar her experience working at Hand Therapy of San Francisco with one of the premier certified hand therapists in the west. She became a massage therapist in 1987, is NCBTMB-certified, and has degrees in mathematics and science education. Deborah began exploring movement in the early 1990's with various movement educators to augment her clinical hands-on work and began researching the relationship between movement and postural imbalance.
