Kayla Casey

Kayla utilizes evidence-based techniques that are sensitive to trauma. Her family turned to massage as a tool for managing stress, which sparked her interest in the field. As a teenager, she participated in various sports activities, developing a constructive attitude toward pain and learning to trust her body's ability to heal itself.

She has worked on several television shows, and her most significant experience was working on a documentary about people who had gone through traumatic experiences. This experience helped her understand how trauma affects the body and mind, leading her to pursue a career in massage therapy.

Desiree Santiago

Desiree Santiago

Desiree became a massage therapist to impact people's lives positively. Growing up with a disabled parent, she experienced different forms of therapy used in the recovery process. However, she realized that the power of a positive and supportive touch was often disregarded, which sparked her to become a massage therapist.

She has gained extensive experience addressing various issues by integrating both Eastern and Western modalities. Massage therapy has transformed her own life, and she has been able to share this transformative power with others.

She strives to connect with her clients on a deeper level to understand their unique needs better and tailor her approach accordingly.

Kimiyo Matthews

Kimiyo Matthews

Kimiyo is a massage therapist who has a unique background. She has lived half of her life in Japan and the other half in the USA. She integrates both Western and Eastern massage techniques in her work because of her diverse background. In Japan, acupressure massage is a natural part of daily life, and she includes this knowledge in her practice.

She has also learned valuable lessons through her own experiences. She went through a torn rotator cuff and subsequent frozen shoulder rehabilitation. She later struggled with sciatic pain for eight years. But, she healed herself with the help of massage therapy and alternative medicine. She is confident she can help you recover from muscle injuries and postural misalignment.

My Story

I was born and raised in Japan, where massage is weaved into the culture. People give “Anma”, a Japanese style of massage to each other in daily life.  Massage was one of the conventional medical treatments before Western Medicine became mainstream.  Therefore I took intensive training in acupressure and energy work at massage school. 
 
I believe that blessings come in disguise, and that happened to me when I had a rotator cuff tear injury and had to take one year off to recover.  This happened right after I got my license, and although I was devastated, I learned a lot going through that experience.  I learned first hand what my clients go through, and I honed my skill to treat an actual person with a real issues, and that person was me! 

My work then shifted to Myofascial Trigger Point Release and I can tell you that it works!  After I recovered from my shoulder injury, I treated many clients with trigger point therapy, and they recovered.
 
As I continue practicing massage therapy, I realized some clients keep coming back with the same issues.  Our physical problems come from an imbalance of our mind, emotion, and lifestyle.  Unless you deal with the cause; the issues keep coming back and you won’t be able to maintain your health.  Because of these experiences I have incorporated Eastern, as well Western techniques into my practice. 
 
I’m so grateful to have this opportunity to help people. There is something new to learn everyday and my life is full of excitement.
