  • Yukiyo Nakao

    Remedial Massage Therapist

    As a passionate Remedial Massage Therapist, I believe in the power of healing through a holistic approach. With many years of experience as a yogi and meditator, my goal goes beyond simply releasing muscle tension and discomfort. I take a heart-centered approach to therapy, creating tailored treatments that address the unique needs of each client.

    I have a nutrition and herbal therapy background in Japan and my work is rooted in balancing the nervous system, helping to restore harmony within the body and mind. 

    By blending deep bodywork techniques with mindfulness practices, I aim to bring lasting relief, not just in the muscles, but in your overall well-being. 

    Whether you're seeking to release physical tension, recover from injury, or find mental clarity, I’m here to guide you on your journey to a healthier, more balanced life.

  • Lauren Baylor

    Remedial Massage Therapist

    Lauren Baylor is Remedial Massage therapist and Reiki practitioner. After suffering a back injury in 2017 she underwent a healing journey regarding how pain is stored in the body. After months of consultations with doctors and neurosurgeons to see whether surgery was required it was with the assistance of physiotherapists, energy healers and creative modalities that Lauren recovered. She discovered a new appreciation in physical and mental health which inspired training in intuitive massage. The mind-body-spirit connection has been a fascinating journey and Lauren looks forward to adding more modalities to her toolbox!

    ‘It has been fortuitous to connect with Shaily and I am so grateful to learn her exquisite skill in offering the highest level of care with attention and intention at Kavanah.’
