Heart-led. Neurodivergent-friendly care.

Andrea brings heart, soul, and skilled hands to every session. Since shortly after becoming an RMT she’s blended her massage therapy foundation with a growing passion for RAPID NeuroFascial Reset—a technique that helps clients break free from chronic pain and tension patterns that just won’t budge.

Known for her signature face and scalp massages (they’re magic, truly), Andrea has a gift for helping people exhale— and feel like themselves again .

 Her treatments blend intuitive touch with assessment skills, allowing her to uncover fascial restrictions and  create treatments that truly meet you where you're at.

She’s especially drawn to supporting clients whose nervous systems are in overdrive—whether from ADHD, burnout, or the daily overwhelm of life. With lived experience and genuine empathy, Andrea holds space where clients can show up as they are—no pressure to mask, explain, or fit a mold. 

She’s patient when you’re scattered, understanding when you need to fidget, and always tuned into what your body is asking for.

As she continues to deepen her work, Andrea is exploring lymphatic facilitation—an evolving interest that complements her holistic approach to supporting the body’s natural healing rhythms.

With a curious mind and a no-nonsense, vibrant spirit, Andrea meets each person with compassion and presence. Her goal? To help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at ease in your own skin—without forcing stillness or silence along the way.

Gentle strength.  Compassion-centered. Grounded care.

Shayla brings calm into the room like a quiet sunrise—steady, warm, and exactly what you didn’t know you needed. 

A graduate of Lethbridge Polytechnic’s Accredited Massage Therapy program, she blends technical skill with a deeply compassionate approach to care. Her practice is further supported by introductory-level training in oncology massage, plus introductory-level  K-taping and dynamic cupping.

Shayla works with clients across all stages of life, offering a grounded, supportive space that feels safe and welcoming—especially for those navigating anxiety, stress, or sensory overload. Her compassion-centered  perspective allows her to adapt treatments to individual comfort levels, creating an experience that feels both effective and respectful.

Clients often describe her as calm, kind, and intuitive—“the kind of therapist who just knows exactly where to work without you saying a word.” Whether you're seeking relief from everyday tension or deeper nervous system regulation, Shayla’s sessions are never rushed or routine. Her care is quiet, confident, and leaves you feeling truly heard.

 Skilled. Vibrant. Never boring.

With over a decade of hands-on experience, Kaylee brings both depth and energy to every session. 

A Lethbridge College graduate, she spent many years honing her therapeutic skills in a busy chiropractic clinic before bringing her bold, friendly vibe to Driftwood Balance.

Kaylee specializes in deep tissue and therapeutic massage, with a strong reputation for helping clients manage migraines, chronic pain, and stubborn muscle tension. Her toolbox includes additional training in :

• Myofascial Cupping, 
• Thai-Yoga Massage,
•  and Basic Oncology Massage

giving her plenty of techniques to draw from whether you're needing targeted pressure or full-body flow.

Clients love Kaylee’s ability to get right to the root of the issue—and keep things light with conversation, laughter, and a dose of realness. She’s known for her “hurts-so-good” pressure, confident hands, and authentic connection that makes every session feel like catching up with a friend who also happens to be really, really good at massage.

If you're looking for results and a refreshingly upbeat treatment room, Kaylee’s the one to book with.
