I am a registered massage therapist (RMT) , and I am practicing out of Nelson, BC. I graduated in 2019 here in Nelson, and have enjoyed helping locals improve functionality so they can pursue the endless adventures that the Kootenay’s has to offer!
A genuine passion for wanting to help people led me to the health profession. I know first hand the transformative power of manual therapy. Massage therapy is an approach that encompasses so many spectrums in the therapeutic arts, and requires both skill and intuition offering. When it comes to pain management of soft tissue dysfunction, having an effective, personalized plan is imperative to the healing process. It requires trust and respect, and is the foundation that allows the process of moving toward the desired outcome.
I will customize a plan to create long-term benefits and I encourage my clients to feel empowered to participate in their own physical and mental health through personalized home-care for their own particular needs.
My hope is to be a part of your journey by offering you the tools that will help promote wellbeing in a holistic way.
Being a part of someone’s journey is both an inspiration and an honour. Our body is essential to our existence, we must take care of it.

Kira graduated from the Registered Massage Therapy program at Kootenay Columbia College of Integrative Health Sciences in 2024, building on her diploma in Human Kinetics (Kinesiology) from Okanagan College.
With a background in ballet, Kira’s passion for movement has always been central to her life. After transitioning from dance due to injuries, she explored various forms of movement and outdoor activities, furthering her knowledge of the body. This led her to yoga teacher training and eventually kinesiology. During her studies, Kira developed a desire for a more hands-on approach to supporting others in their physical health, which ultimately led her to pursue a career in massage therapy.
Kira integrates her kinesiology background with massage therapy to assist clients in regaining function, reducing pain, and improving overall well-being. She is committed to providing an inclusive environment where each session is tailored to meet individual needs and goals.

Recent graduate of the RMT program at Kootenay Columbia College of Integrative Health Sciences.
Lynn was first introduced to massage when she learned Shiatsu in 2018. Since embarking on the path to become a RMT, her current approach now weaves in a variety of techniques.
Lynn is lead by curiosity and enjoys massaging a variety of body types. Also being an active person who loves to snowboard, climb, dance, hike, bike, and practice yoga, she is backed by a sound body awareness and understanding of recovery.
Above all, Lynn recognizes that each person is unique and that by listening closely to your body’s tissues, she adapts each massage to your needs.
Therapeutic massage is used to treat a wide variety of ailments, such as headaches, chronic muscle tension, tendonitis, runner’s knee, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, shoulder pain, low back pain, whiplash, TMJ and more. A customized treatment plan can be developed by your RMT to alleviate your symptoms, address any underlying causes and prevent your symptoms from returning. If you are rehabilitating, having proper support is so important, and we truly believe this and want to help. If you are pregnant or nursing, so many unexpected discomforts can arise, or if you just need to calm your nervous system to be able to sleep better and feel better, this is what we can offer as well!
