Meet Kyra

A passion for life
and a spirit of play

It’s woven into everything I do: massage and myofascial release, energy work with tuning forks and crystal bowls, Pilates on the reformer, and coaching alongside my beloved horses, Ruby and Georgia.

For over 20 years I led the spa and wellness programs of the Old Edwards Hospitality Group. Now I bring those decades of experience, and my unstoppable enthusiasm for life, home to my farm in the mountains.

Nothing here is rushed. I listen first and shape the work around what you need that day.

You are worth it. Together, we’ll make a plan for what you want. With encouragement and inspired action, you’ll thrive. My greatest joy is sharing in your success. I believe in you.

With love,

Kyra

The welcoming committee

Ruby and Georgia, my horses, are part of the coaching work, and the dogs and cats make sure every guest feels welcome.

“As soon as you arrive at her home and step out of the car, you can feel the love. Her animals are there to greet you eagerly, as if they’ve been waiting their whole lives to see you!”

— Deborah D.
