Originally from San Luis Obispo, California, and raised in the Rogue Valley, Mariela has always had a passion for health, wellness, and movement. She completed her massage therapy certification at Rogue Community College in 2015 and earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science from Southern Oregon University, graduating cum laude. With a strong background in anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics, Mariela specializes in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, PNF Stretching, Myofascial Release, and Sports Massage. By bridging the gap between massage therapy and exercise science, she takes a holistic approach that supports injury prevention, rehabilitation, and long-term physical wellness. Mariela is passionate about helping clients feel more connected to their bodies through thoughtful, therapeutic touch.

When she’s not working with clients, Mariela leads an active lifestyle that includes resistance training at the gym, hot yoga, and spending quality time with her beloved Yorkie companion. As a former martial artist, she now channels that same discipline and body awareness into her massage practice and wellness journey.

 Kaylen was born and raised  in the Rogue Valley and has a deep appreciation for community,  connection, and whole-person care. She holds a bachelor’s degree in  Psychology and has always been fascinated by people—how we think, feel,  and move through the world. Over time, that interest evolved into a  passion for helping others through hands-on work with the body,  recognizing the close relationship between physical, emotional, and  mental well-being.

Kaylen graduated from the Ashland Institute of  Massage in 2025. She believes every body has a story, shaped by life  experiences, stress, injury, and growth, and she aims to meet each  person exactly where they are at. To support this, she uses a thoughtful  blend of modalities—including Swedish and myofascial release—to meet  the unique needs of each client. Her approach honors the body as a  whole, functional unit, creating a safe and supportive space where  clients feel heard, respected, and gently guided back home to their  body.
