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, Toronto where I provide medium pressure, relaxation-focused registered massage therapy for women, including LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people, who are feeling the impacts of today's world.
Whether you’re navigating the daily overstimulation of working and/or parenting in the big city, experiencing one of life’s many emotional and physical transitions, handling the big stuff — or, like many, you‘re doing it all a once — it's more than we as humans were designed to handle.
If your body is reacting — through pain, digestive changes, sleep disturbances, tension, or stress — then it's doing exactly what it is supposed to do in the face of challenge. It's tensing up muscles, slowing digestion, and orchestrating a litany of physiological changes meant to protect you. It's doing its job, and it's doing it well.
It just wasn't supposed to do this so often and with so little opportunity for rest and recovery.
This space exists not to fix what's not working, but to create the conditions for your body to do what it already knows how to do when it feels safe and supported.

My practice is continuously evolving. I have additional training in trauma-informed care, craniosacral therapy, persistent pain, and infant and pregnancy massage. I also participated in a six month birth doula mentorship program.

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

Acknowledging that health and wellbeing 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.
