Your Student Massage Therapists
KIARA BELANGER (SHE/HER)
Kiara is currently a student attending her second and final year at Evolve college of massage therapy. Kiara's empathetic nature led her to massage therapy and inspires her to help others achieve their own personal health and wellness goals. Through her studies, Kiara has learned that the mind-body connection is very powerful and can do incredible things when working in harmony and that when balance is restored to one, it can support the other.
Kiara is training in Swedish massage which takes on a more relaxation approach, incorporating deep tissue and myofascial techniques, restoring balance to the body tissues. Her goal is to empower and educate her clients so that they can leave each session feeling physically and mentally relieved.
Kiara is available at the Corydon location every other Saturday.
