A space to come home to yourself, one moment at a time.

I’m Khyle, a Remedial Massage Therapist, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and NeuroAffective Touch® student who supports people through pain, tension, and nervous‑system regulation with a gentle blend of hands‑on bodywork and somatic approaches. I focus on meeting people softly and respectfully where they are, helping them feel more grounded, connected, and at home in their bodies.

Today, my practice weaves together physical and emotional nervous‑system perspectives, with an emphasis on bottom‑up, body‑led trauma work that allows the system to settle and reorganise at its own pace, all held with compassion and a genuine care for supporting people to feel more settled, supported, and comfortable within themselves.

"No matter how deep the contraction, a natural expansion always follows. This gentle rhythm is the pulse of life."

— Dr Peter Levine

  • Khyle has such a gentle touch which for me having fibromyalgia works well. He can pick up where your tension lies and will focus on that area, mine being within the neck. I can feel a gentle release of that neck tension within several minutes. Khyle is very knowledgeable on the physical and emotional connection of pain. I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with chronic pain. - Jennifer Fall
