Karly Atkey RYT - Nervous System Specialist

Clients often find me when they feel a need for deep connection, effective bodywork & massage, guidance on healing a stressed nervous system, and alternative options outside of the mainstream medical & therapeutic systems.

I provide direct targeted advice for lifestyle & habit changes that improve your well-being, lessening anxiety & fatigue.

Together we work through what’s been held in your body for too long - tension, muscle knots, bracing patterns - allowing gentle but profound release. Over the years I’ve perfected ways to do this without the use of any painful techniques such as extreme deep pressure or trigger points. Using a specialized blend of Somatics, Ayurvedic Massage, Reflexology, and Celtic Ritual. Clients leave my treatments in a dream like state, feeling like their body is more free, with more easeful movement, breathing deeply, and connected to their intuition. I incorporate Celtic Druidic Herbalism in the form of my hand-made body oils for massage, as well as take-home products that will accelerate and soften your healing journey.

I also offer Holistic Korean Facials for maximum skin health & relaxation. Using Matka Botanicals, a local woman-owned Island based skin care line packed full of incredible plant-based goodness. I’ve used this line for years and my skin is glowing, people often comment how I do not look my age! Combined with select high-quality Korean products, Japanese Facial massage and finished with neck & scalp massage, you’ll leave this dreamy spa experience looking fresh with the healthiest skin of your life.

Many of my clients find that as we deepen our healing journey together, we uncover layers of grief, sadness, fear, anger, shame, and guilt.

These often feel like muscle knots, tension, shortened breath, symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, and anxiety. Mystery rashes and skin flushes. Sensitivities. Feeling like you’re stuck in overthinking loops of racing thoughts, always going to “get in trouble” or be punished.

If left untreated, these symptoms will progress into autoimmune disease and become more difficult to recover from as time goes on.

Fortunately with my blend of Somatics, bodywork, and counseling, my clients find profound release which ripples throughout their entire lives. Firstly their physical health improves, mental & emotional health follows soon after. Their relationships become less strained, calmer, and more connected. Their work performance improves as their intuition comes back online and they trust themselves more fully.

For those who wish to enter into a more intensive healing container with me, I selectively offer an 8 Week 1:1 Program where we move with intimate focus in an intentionally unconventional and wildly transformative way. This is part healing, part mentorship, part homecoming. Please enquire by email to Hello@KarlyLovesRest.com

Healing should not feel like your second job. It should feel like freedom. That’s what we do here.
