Kendra’s massage journey began in 2012 in Napa, and continued in Carson City, Nevada. Her most valuable training was that of learning from other skilled therapists. She is honored to assume the role as the leader of this business. She mixes a variety of slow, generally deeper, intentional techniques, done in a way to induce relaxation and also relieve chronic pain and tension. She enjoys using trigger points, range of motion, tools, and intuition to provide gentle or deep bodywork. Kendra believes massage is truly a remarkable way to gain acute self-awareness which develops a lasting relationship with our bodies. Afterall, we only get one body in this lifetime.
