Meet your
Hey there! I'm Kait, a local to Hampton Roads and graduate of our very own Cayce Reilly School of Massotherapy. As a Cayce Reilly graduate I'm proud to offer a unique style of massage that utilizes Swedish, Osteopathic, and Neuropathic techniques. I incorporate my ever growing knowledge and continuing education in new modalities to create a therapeutic massage meant just for you. My personal life has been centered around the nourishment of body, mind, and spirit for over 10 years now. I consider myself a conduit for relief of energetic, mental, and physical pain. For you my clients, I call upon my intuition, creative skill set, and loving energy to offer a magical experience for you during our therapeutic massage sessions.
Thanks for dropping by! My name is Carly (she/her), owner of Mindful Moments Wellness, LLC. I’m a massage therapist who is also certified in Vodder Technique Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and a student of yoga & 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher.
My passion is in co-creating a more peaceful, liberated, and gratifying life for myself and others.
When we feel better, we can do greater good in the world.
Since graduating from the Healing Arts Center in St. Louis, MO in 2009 I have maintained Board Certification - the highest attainable credential within the massage therapy and bodywork profession; it’s an advanced credential separate from entry-level state licensure.
In 2022 I completed a 40-hour Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Technique) course to better serve clients experiencing chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, cancer patients and post-surgery clients.
Participating in continuing education and personal development programs is one way that I explore paths of providing my clients with the most thoughtful and informed services possible. I recently completed Susanna Barkataki's 300hr Embody Yoga's Roots yoga teacher training, officially achieving 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher Certification; I'm currently diving deeper into teaching Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness with David Treleaven's 20hr training.
It is my hope that the services I offer will bring you a sense of peace, confidence, and equilibrium.
As a 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher, I guide a slower-paced Hatha class to provide you with moments of stillness & one-pointed focus (dharana) in a trauma-sensitive and body-positive way. My intention is to honor the traditions of yoga and offer an accessible practice. I achieved my initial 200hr training through Bhav Brigade and Dr. Diane Malaspina’s comprehensive program and my 300hr training through Susanna Barkataki's Embody Yoga's Roots program; additional training includes Restorative Yoga, Meditation & Pranayama, Bridging the Practice of Yoga and Modern Healthcare, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and Introduction to Yoga for Addiction Recovery (through Yoga Medicine).
I offer 30-minute Mindful Mornings yoga classes live on Zoom 5+ days a week (learn more here) and in-person classes with Bhav Brigade (see schedule here). You can find my yoga schedule here.
All of the public yoga classes I offer are beginner-friendly & trauma-informed.
Most are also donation-based or sliding-scale fee.
Mindfulness is at the heart of all my offerings; my mindfulness studies include an introduction to Vipassana, the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Course developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at UMASS, and mindfulness-based continuing education with Cultivating Inner Stillness. My mindfulness practice is life-long homework; I look forward to continuing in an effort to help myself & others stay present for this precious life.
It would be our greatest honor for Mindful Moments to be a piece of your wellness and healing journey.
May we all live life with more ease.
