Kierra Douglas Owner, RMT, Advanced Arvigo®️ Practitioner and Self Care Instructor.
Kierra grew up in Kelowna, BC and has found her passions in health/wellness and understanding how massage therapy affects the human body. She enrolled and graduated from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in August 2017. While studying, she wrote and published a research paper titled Evaluating the impact of Swedish Massage on the Shoulder Girdle and C4-T1 Nerve Roots Post Injection Therapy. It received international attention at the International Massage Therapy Research Conference. She is registered with the College of Complementary Health Professionals BC and the Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of BC.
As of July 2024, Kierra has taken over 100 hours of training in abdominal massage based on the healing traditions of the Yucatec Maya Indigenous Community. She is honoured to be able to integrate this sacred work to her practice to continue to help her patients with digestive and/or reproductive concerns. She currently teaches classes online and will soon be teaching in person.
Kierra finds great joy in creating a welcoming space that helps her patients unplug and unwind from the world around them. She utilizes various techniques such as swedish massage, myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques and maya abdominal massage® techniques to help you reach your health and wellness goals. Her professional interests are in chronic pain, stress reduction, digestive health, reproductive health, prenatal/postpartum and infant massage.
Outside of the clinic, you can find Kierra spending time with her family and getting all the new baby snuggles that she can.
