Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a form of manual manipulation of the soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia). It aims to promote pain-free function of the body by releasing tissue tension and re-orienting holding patterns.

Massage therapy is a form of manual manipulation of the soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia). It aims to promote pain-free function of the body by releasing tissue tension and re-orienting holding patterns. Massage primarily works with the nervous system to facilitate the body’s self-healing ability; and because of this it has an immense capacity to support a wide variety of conditions such as anxiety, depression and chronic pain. This modality is also an exceptional rehabilitation tool for healing from surgeries and injuries (including scar tissue).

At Blue Lotus, our focus is to support you on your journey to reaching an optimal state of well-being!

Kira graduated from the Registered Massage Therapy program at Kootenay Columbia College of Integrative Health Sciences in 2024, building on her diploma in Human Kinetics (Kinesiology) from Okanagan College.

With a background in ballet, Kira’s passion for movement has always been central to her life. After transitioning from dance due to injuries, she explored various forms of movement and outdoor activities, furthering her knowledge of the body. This led her to yoga teacher training and eventually kinesiology. During her studies, Kira developed a desire for a more hands-on approach to supporting others in their physical health, which ultimately led her to pursue a career in massage therapy.

Kira integrates her kinesiology background with massage therapy to assist clients in regaining function, reducing pain, and improving overall well-being. She is committed to providing an inclusive environment where each session is tailored to meet individual needs and goals.

Please Note: Direct billing is not available at this time. A receipt will be provided that can be submitted to your insurance for reimbursement.

I am a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) practicing out of Nelson, BC. A genuine passion for wanting to help people led me to the health profession. I know first hand the transformative power of manual therapy. Massage therapy is an approach that encompasses so many spectrums in the therapeutic arts, and requires both skill and intuition in its modality. When it comes to pain management of soft tissue dysfunction, having an effective personalized pain care plan is imperative to the healing process. It requires trust and respect, and is the foundation that allows the process of moving toward the desired outcome. I will customize a plan to create long-term benefit and I encourage my clients to feel empowered to participate in their own physical and mental health through personalized education-base home-care for their own particular needs. My hope is to be a part of your journey by offering you the tools that will help promote the wellbeing in a holistic way.

Being a part of someone’s journey is both an inspiration and an honour. Our body is essential to our existence, we must take care of it.
