President 
Kimm Danzie
I’m Kimm Danzie, your AMTA‑IL Financial Administrator and Education Committee Liaison (and your 2025-26 Conference DJ!). I am a licensed massage therapist with 17 years of experience, with a passion in restorative, client‑focused care.
I’m a graduate of the Chicago School of Massage Therapy, where I first joined the American Massage Therapy Association as a student member. Today, I run my private practice, Infinite Touch of Chicago, on the South Side of Chicago, creating a peaceful, welcoming space for clients seeking high‑quality therapeutic massage—whether in my studio or in their own environment.
What excites me most about the next two years with AMTA‑IL is, as Education Committee Liaison, I can continue to help design education workshops and CE opportunities that will keep our members inspired and informed. As Financial Administrator, I’ve learned how to budget smarter so our chapter can offer these valuable experiences while maintaining a solid financial foundation.
Financial Administrator 
Kim Miller
I’m a clinical massage therapist with nearly a decade of experience in advanced therapeutic bodywork and a lifelong dedication to the art of healing through touch. I specialize in myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization, assisted stretching, and Active Release Technique (ART), delivering each session with precision and a results-driven focus.
Having collaborated extensively with chiropractors and physical therapists, I take an integrative approach to movement, recovery, and overall musculoskeletal wellness. Every session is tailored to your body’s unique needs—whether relieving chronic tension, enhancing mobility, or supporting injury rehabilitation—ensuring lasting, measurable results and an elevated experience in care and comfort.
