Little Oasis began with a vision: a quiet sanctuary where healing could be both technical and tender. A space rooted in rhythm, rest, and return.
I’m Kayla McIntyre, a seasoned massage therapist of a decade. After spending time in both medical and spa settings, I found myself drawn to something more integrated, where treatment and intuitive touch could meet.
Built with patience and shaped by community, little oasis is a place to come home - to yourself, your breath, your body.
“Kayla is amazing in so many ways- her beautiful studio, her music that’s always just right and her intuitive way of knowing what my body needs, she’s truly gifted. ”
philosophy
The key to health is treating the person, not the symptoms. I aim to support you holistically, and honor your nervous system. From there, true physical healing in the body begins.
Through collaborative consultation and meeting you where you are, each session supports you exactly how you need. I blend clinical expertise with deeply restorative modalities to guide you into lasting balance and embodied ease.
Little Oasis offers a private infrared sauna — where the body softens, the mind quiets, and breath becomes the guide. These rituals help us remember that we can always return to ourselves in moments of pause.
