Thank you so much to the The Arvigo Institute for featuring me on Social Media this month! If you would like to learn more about this sacred work that I offer, check out their instagram and pages.

Kierra Douglas is a Registered Massage Therapist based out of Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, with 6 years hands-on experience. Kierra was called to this work through her own personal challenges with her reproductive and digestive health.

She first experienced an Arvigo® Abdominal Massage from a practitioner who had offered a draw for a free 30 minute trial treatment at a Holistic Health and Wellness Fair.

This could not have come at a better time when she had been struggling from the onset of menstruation with extremely painful periods, hormone imbalance and many cysts. After experiencing such positive effects from the free abdominal massage, Kierra knew she needed to learn more about how she could incorporate this important work into her Massage Therapy Practice.

After taking part in the Self Care Workshop Online with Samar, and the Practitioner Care Training with Cathy Lipsky and Laurie Frazer with the Arvigo® Institute, Kierra could not be more pleased to offer and incorporate this sacred work into her treatments.

She has had comments from patients ranging from: "Wow! I can now p**p SO much better" to "Woah, my periods do not hurt anymore" to "My diabetes is more controlled now. I am not seeing the sugar spikes I used to." She looks forward to taking more training with the Arvigo Institute to expand her knowledge around abdominal/pelvic health.

Kierra finds great joy in creating a welcoming treatment space that helps her clients unplug and unwind from the world around them. She utilizes various massage and Arvigo ® Abdominal Massage techniques to help you reach your health and wellness goals.
