KAYLA MCINTYRE, LMT

My journey into bodywork took root in the belief that real healing happens when we slow down. With over a decade of hands-on experience and continued specialized training, my work blends the technical and intuitive to support you in your return to embodied balance.

My mission is to always meet you where you are and build a lasting, enriching therapeutic relationship. By doing this, massage therapy can not only serve at addressing present conditions, but also as preventative care for a greater quality of life.

THE PHILOSOPHY

Our stories, memories and experiences shape us, and can determine how we carry ourselves through the world. Through bodywork, we not only can address the physical manifestations of this, but also find safety in our bodies to walk though life with more ease.

The key to health is treating the person, not just the symptoms. My work supports you holistically and honors your nervous system first and foremost. Pressure varies but is not a hard and fast approach, as I believe intentional touch creates the most lasting shifts.

    • You can dress down to your level of comfort for the massage-most people fully undress but underwear on is okay too. Remove all jewelry if possible.

    Please note that there will be turnover time between your appointments.
