Registered Massage therapy for women
In a world that expects you to just keep going, I'm glad that
you are here.

Hello! I'm Kaila, and I have been a registered massage therapist since graduating from Sutherland Chan in 2015. I am also a parent, a (novice) organic gardener/environmentalist, and and a gender studies graduate.
After a decade of practice, I opened my studio in the quiet, residential neighborhood of Fairbank. I provide comfortable pressure massage therapy for women, including LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people, who are feeling the impacts of today's world.
Because whether you’re working, parenting, dealing with big life stuff or simply absorbing the news while living in the overstimulation of our urban environment, we are all doing and processing more than we as humans were designed to.
If you’re feeling it - through pain, digestive changes, sleep disturbances, tension, or stress - then your body is doing exactly what it is supposed to do to protect you. It’s designed to tense and react in the face of challenge.
It just isn’t supposed to do this so often and with so little opportunity for recovery.
My goal is not to fix what's "not working". It’s to create the conditions for your body to do what it knows how to do when it feels safe and supported.

Bodies of all varieties are welcomed here. My practice is a gender affirming space, and you can expect proper pronouns and gender neutral language around the body and its functions. (Yes, that includes the perinatal experience).
Community care

Community care
Acknowledging that health and well-being is dependent on social and environmental justice, 3% of all treatments go towards organizations working for environmental and social change. I support small, local businesses wherever possible, and take all possible measures to reduce my environmental footprint. Visit my sustainability page for more info.

Please note that I have a dog! While I do my best to ensure that the space is dander free through thorough cleaning and a HEPA filtered air purifier, people with pet allergies may want to consider this when booking.
