Kiyoki's goal is to promote and help facilitate calm and pain-free, healthy living through her work. Her clientele ranges from competitive athletes and chronic pain sufferers to those who just want to drift away and relax.

Experience & Philosophy: 
Kiyoki believes that massage and bodywork can provide so much more than simply a relaxing experience for the client: massage is beneficial to the several systems of our bodies and it aids in the re-centering of both our mental and emotional well-being. Furthermore, massage is an enjoyable natural option for pain management of all sorts. Kiyoki is mindful of every client and believes that each person and session should be respected and honored with the highest-quality experience.

Kiyoki's touch is nurturing and relaxing, yet very effective in reducing stress and tension. Her pressure ranges from light to firm, accommodating the client's preference. She is well-versed in the following: Swedish/Relaxation, Therapeutic Deep Tissue Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Sports and Dynamic Muscle Release, Orthopedic Therapy, Stretch Therapy, and varying applications of Cupping Therapy. 

Education: 
Kiyoki has been studying and practicing massage therapy since 2008. She studied at the California Holistic Institute in San Luis Obispo, CA and at The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School in Austin, TX.

Kiyoki is certified in Advanced Contemporary Cupping Therapy Methods from the International Cupping Therapy Association and can perform a variety of cupping services such as the following: negative pressure manual lymphatic drainage, cellulite/scar/stretch mark reduction, gentle abdominal massage, facial cupping rejuvenation, sports/orthopedic/dynamic cupping, and biomagnetic cupping.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Spa, or Wellness services

by Adrian on Apr 04
She assesses your physical condition, inquires about areas of discomfort/concern, and adjusts my treatment every visit to cater to my body's needs. I wish she were not booked out so far in advance but look I look forward to every session.
by Brandy on Apr 03
It’s hard to find someone who is has the skill and ability to do the work and explain it at the same time! But Kiyiki is just that! The has the ability to tune in to the body and apply the proper techniques to aid in real recovery and pain management! I give Kraken Wellness center a 12/10 for the win and so grateful that her schedule opened up to fit me in last minute!!!
