Carla Calitz

“Most people have no idea how good their body is designed to feel.” - Kevin Trudeau

Carla Calitz has always been drawn to nature, movement, and the art of healing.

Carla Calitz has always been drawn to nature, movement, and the art of healing. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Art in Photography, but her path took a different shape—one that led her to massage therapy and bodywork. Over the past nine years, she’s developed a deep appreciation for the body’s natural ability to heal itself, believing that with the right support, it knows exactly what to do.

She is certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and a Level 1 Trager Approach student, with additional training in Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, Myofascial Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Deep Tissue, and more. Her approach is intuitive, layered, and focused on working with the body rather than against it.

Carla’s love for bodywork is rooted in connection—listening to the body’s subtle cues, creating space for ease, and offering support without force. One of her clients once told her, “You’re not just a massage therapist, you’re an artist.” That moment stuck with her because, in many ways, it made her childhood dream of becoming an artist come true.

When she’s not working with clients, you can usually find her hiking a new trail, rock climbing, practicing yoga, experimenting with breathwork, or diving into holistic health practices. She loves all things natural and earthy and believes healing isn’t just something that happens on the table—it’s woven into the way we move, breathe, and connect with the world around us.

Very professional and really helped my problem areas.

My back pain was gone the next day! I highly recommend Carla. She finds those troublesome spots you didn't know were there and works them away!

For many years now, Carla has consistently provided the best massages ever. Her hands are gifted.

Carla intuitively could find where I needed work. I have cervical dystonia which is constant spasms in my neck and back. I feel so much relief from her work plus her studio is quite comfortable and private. I highly recommend her and have seen her numerous times. She asks questions prior to know what you are seeking but gives you quiet during her work which I appreciate!

Carla is so professional and is so willing to listen to the needs of her clients. She has a calming effect and it is very evident that she wants her clients to leave feeling better

Great massage with attention to your “problem” spots! Definitely recommend if you enjoy deep tissue massage!

Carla has an intuitive skill, whereby she figures out which part(s) of your body need to be worked on the most, and that’s what she takes care of. She is a skilled, professional, and empathetic LMT. I highly recommend her!
