Changing the perception of bodywork from that of a luxury to a necessity.
Our Therapists
Kayla Savage
Kayla’s interest in body science and her intuitive healing nature led her to the National Holistic Institute in San Jose, CA. There she received 1350 hours of intensive training and graduated as an Advanced Neuromuscular Therapist & Health Educator. She offers a more clinical approach to bodywork, taking the time to assess her clients before each session to ensure that their needs and expectations are fully met.
Although Kayla is trained in multiple therapeutic modalities, she specializes in the treatment of chronic pain and myofascial dysfunction. She also has training in injury prevention and rehabilitation, and she offers lymphatic facilitation for both pre- and post-operative injuries. This technique aides the body’s natural healing cycle, thereby helping to shorten recovery time. Her goal as a therapist is not only to help people find relief from their chronic pain and daily restrictions, but to promote a greater sense of well-being.

Lisa Lewis
I didn’t know at the time, but the Universe had definite plans in regards to my true calling.
When the shift started, I already had a job I loved as an assistant discharge planner at a medical facility in Chico, Ca and I thought I would be there forever.
It just so happened that I also loved to work out knots and ease tension in the necks and shoulders of the overworked nurses who worked on my unit. It got to be a habit that they would stop by my office on their breaks to get a little relief. Fast forward 12 years later, and here I am, still a full-time therapist, and I can’t imagine doing anything else.
From providing relaxation and comfort to those who merely want to unwind, to finding those hard-to-reach knots and honing in on those trigger points, I can honestly say that this is a job that is NOT a job - it is a joyful occupation in which I gain more knowledge each year.
That said, I am truly honored to be a therapist, and it is a huge privilege to help those who come to see me.

Poppy Wildey
How far can a gift of Empathy, feeling someone else's emotions, be taken? Poppy knew she had a gift when she could feel the distresses of her friends as her own from a young age.
In 2012, she began to experience the coming and going of pains and aches in mirror sensation and location of the people around her; this is where her curiosity started to blossom. Could she help? Intuitively, she started practicing energy work on anyone willing and open to receiving it. In 2021 she started receiving Massage, and by the end of the year was enrolled at National Holistic Institute of San Jose. Now, she specializes in open flow massage. She uses touch sense and the biomagnetic energy flow of the body to guide her to and through the held tension that can cause limited movement, discomfort and pain in the body. She utilizes therapeutic techniques such as light to deep pressure, breath work, trigger point release, and a variety of stretches to manipulate the soft tissue to get the best long lasting results for her clients.
