Kayla strives to help patients find comfort and ease in movement with every stage in life. She believes that massage can be an effective support to the body’s innate ability to find balance and healing, be that in the context of self-care, relaxation, recovery from activity or rehabilitation from injury.
Her treatments are tailored to help patients reach their therapeutic goals. She treats the whole person, taking into consideration the nervous system's response as well as soft tissue. Her style is fluid and balances deep flowing pressure with calming relaxation, guided breath, body awareness, and specific techniques to address areas of concern. She draws from a variety of Swedish and deep-tissue techniques, including myofascial release, joint mobilizations, muscle energy and trigger-point therapy.
Kayla has always been amazed by the human body and everything that the body allows us to achieve in life. She was drawn to massage as a form of self-care and nervous system support through many years in a high-intensity corporate environment. After being hit by a car in 2014, massage became the primary modality that supported her recovery. This experience reignited her long-standing interest in the human body and became the catalyst for pursuing a career as an RMT.
She began studying anatomy and movement in 2017 when she entered her first yoga teacher training program and continuously built on this knowledge through additional yoga training in pain science, anatomy and physiology before completing her diploma in massage therapy at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2021.
In her free time Kayla keeps busy with yoga, kickboxing, and running. She enjoys travelling, music, cooking vegetarian food while singing, making up flowy yoga sequences to random playlists, and spending time with family and friends.
Kayla is available at the Soma West location for treatment. Book your appointment today.
