  • Consistently excellent. Listens to symptoms and applies effective techniques to ease pain, relieve stress and create overall sense of well-being. Extremely respectful and delightful person. Highly recommend and worth every penny!

    Katie Britt

  • If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Good MT's are difficult to come by, and this is a top notch masseuse. I would recommend Kaya Massage to anyone who needs some body work done. It was a quiet, clean and relaxing space in the heart of Matthews downtown. I am extremely grateful to have found this spot. I will be back for sure, thank you so much for the work today!!!

  • If you are ready for a massage unlike any other you have ever had, look no further. This is not your average "relaxing" massage experience. This is a get to the root of the problem, get rid of the knots and get deep into muscles you didn't even know you need to stretch and massage. It you are an athlete, this is the place for you. Super stressed after a long week at work and your back and shoulder

    Jenn Mock

  • This is the best body work I have had in Charlotte. I workout 6 days a week and sit 8 hours a day for work. I went in with a dull back ache due to over tight everything. I left feeling so much better and the ache was gone. If you are looking for experts that customize to your needs Kaya Massage Thereapy is the place. 10/10 recommend!

  • I can't recommend this massage therapist enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and cared for. The massage was exactly what I needed-relaxing, healing, and deeply restorative. The therapist has a wonderful touch and truly listens to my needs. I left feeling lighter, calmer, and full of energy. Thank you for such a beautiful experience!

    Irina Zolina

  • This was one of the best massages I've ever experienced. I really appreciated the bodywork techniques and the stretching. It was more than just a normal massage like the many I've received before. Highly recommended.

    Tina Tuttle

  • What an incredible experience I booked a couples massage for me and my boyfriend and we both loved it. Everything was very soothing, calming, peaceful, like nothing we have ever experienced! They took great care of us. Made sure we were comfortable in every aspect of the whole session. Would definitely come here again!
