Sorry, Kyla is not currently taking New Patients
Kyla founded Affinity Wellness in 2011. She is a proud graduate of both the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy and the Wellington College of Massage Therapy in Regina. With over 26 years of experience as a Registered Massage Therapist, Kyla has honed her skills and earned additional certifications in prenatal massage and TMJ dysfunction and the latest pain education. She is adept in intra-oral techniques that relieve masticatory muscle and jaw pain (TMJ) and enjoys treating those with neck injuries.
Kyla’s passion for anatomy and her desire to help others, along with her personal experiences with injuries, led her to pursue a career in massage therapy. Her experiences as a gymnast and horseback rider, where she sought treatment for her own numerous injuries, inspired her to open her own business. This background, coupled with her deep understanding of chronic injury management, drove her to establish and grow Affinity Wellness as a multi-disciplinary team. This approach allows her and her team, to better meet the diverse and sometimes complex needs of patients in the community of Kelowna. As a healthcare practitioner, she advocates for a holistic approach to wellness, emphasizing the well-being of the entire body. Her focus is on helping clients achieve optimal health and vitality.
Kyla specializes in chronic injury rehabilitation and pain management, utilizing a variety of techniques such as deep tissue, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to enhance mobility and support improved bodily function. She primarily employs Fascial and Trigger Point Release and Muscle Stripping techniques, while incorporating Swedish methods to boost circulation and induce relaxation.
Managing chronic injuries gave her a deep understanding of the importance of proper stretching and muscle strengthening, along with empathetic insight into injury, chronic pain, and the unique challenges faced by athletes. With a focus on helping individuals live a pain-free life to the fullest, Kyla is dedicated to her patients’ well-being.
