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.

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.

Since I was young, sports have always been a big part of my life. My love for sports led me to taking sports med and anatomy/physiology classes in high school. After touring the National Holistic Institute in San Jose I realized Massage Therapy combined my love for helping others and my love for kinesiology and body science. While completing the 900 hour program at NHI I was able to work with the San Jose Saber Cats arena football team and massage at events such as the San Francisco Giants Race and Olympic Rugby Qualifiers. This is where I found my love for sports massage and working with athletes to rehab and prevent injuries. Mixing eastern and western modalities in my approach to bodywork, I like to incorporate Swedish, shiatsu and sports massage techniques to create a relaxing experience that also effectively decreases tension and trigger points helping clients recover and ultimately prevent further imbalances within their musculature.

My name is Andoeny but may also go by Andy. At the age of sixteen I was invited to my first ever yoga session. In that moment I felt so much respect and love for myself that it sparked the curiosity to learn more about the connection between our body, to the spirit and our emotional state. I was fortunate to have completed the yoga teacher training at Nourish in 2019 and then in 2022 graduated from Cypress Massage Institute, here in our lovely Santa Cruz County. I am continuing my education at Cabrillo, taking various human biology courses with the ultimate goal of blending my holistic approach into the medical field. It is with tremendous gratitude that I hope to bring a bit of nurture through touch to the lives of those that I work with. My intention is to solely be a witness to the healing that you are capable of. It being physical, emotional or spiritual.
