Empowered

Because
you’re worth it

My passion is living life to the fullest. In order to do that we need a body that moves freely. I offer massage, one-on-one Pilates and equine coaching on my mountain farm in Cullowhee, near Cashiers, Glenville and Highlands.

I’m a Reiki master, licensed massage and bodywork therapist, and I spent two decades as Spa and Fitness Director at Old Edwards Inn and Spa. I see clients Monday–Thursday, 8–4.

Kind words

“From the moment I arrived I felt safe, held, and seen.”

— Ava H.

How can I help?

Ways we can work together

Massage & Bodywork

I listen first, then tailor each session with massage, myofascial release, Thai, Ashiatsu or energy work in a calm and quiet room. Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes.

Equine Coaching

Time with my horses, Ruby and Georgia, and coaching that draws on my training as an equine coach.

Private Pilates

We’ll build strength, improved mobility and steadiness together, one on one.

Lymphatic Drainage

The Vodder method of lymph massage for detoxification and minor pathologies combines slow, gentle and rhythmic movements with sincere intuition.

Dolphin Neurostim

Scar release and pain relief therapy to help your body heal and regain vitality through non-invasive microcurrents designed to reduce the negative effects scars have on our bodies. Scars negative influence is more than cosmetic. Releasing scars is the key bio hack for your health and longevity.

The road to Kyra

A farm off the beaten path

A winding mountain drive, a warm welcome from the horses, dogs and cats, and time that is entirely yours. Sessions happen in the studio, the massage room or out with the horses.

“Working with her and horses… teaching you what it feels like to be utterly present in life.”

— Victoria S.

Meet Kyra

Helping people feel at home in their bodies is my passion, and it’s a blessing to share it with you. Here on my farm, bodywork, movement and time with the horses come together, with the dogs and cats never far away.

I love this mountain community and the connections that grow here.
