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

Hi, I’m Khyle.

As a Remedial Massage Therapist, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and NeuroAffective Touch® student, my work is guided by the profound connection between mind and body, looking at your well-being through a deeply integrated physical and emotional lens. I invite you into a space where your pain, tension, and nervous system are met not as problems to be fixed, but as an implicit somatic narrative to be heard and held.

In our sessions, we work collaboratively, blending gentle hands-on bodywork with mindful somatic inquiry. My focus is on offering an embodied, co-regulatory presence—meeting you softly, respectfully, and exactly as you are in the present moment. Because sustainable healing is always body-led and "bottom-up," we pace our work to honor the natural capacity of your nervous system.

Together, we create a safe, compassionate container for your mind and body to process, settle, and reorganize at their own resonance, helping you gently find your way back to a felt sense of grounding, connection, and home within yourself.

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

— Dr Peter Levine

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
