Kerry Walker | Advanced Massage Therapist, Yoga Therapist | Owner of Balance Yoga
Kerry has been practicing massage therapy since 1996, bringing nearly three decades of experience, extensive advanced training, and a thoughtful, intuitive approach to her work. She completed her foundational massage training at the Heartwood Institute in Northern California and has continued to deepen her knowledge through years of specialized study.
Her training includes Swedish massage, Anatomy of Movement, Craniosacral Therapy, hot stone massage, Ayurvedic facial massage, and Ortho-Bionomy. She is also a 1,000-hour certified Yoga Therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT).
With an in-depth understanding of anatomy and physiology, Kerry is a highly skilled and effective practitioner. Her approach is both intuitive and informed, allowing her to work deeply while maintaining a gentle, respectful touch. She integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques, including joint mobilization and assisted stretching when appropriate, to address muscular tension, improve mobility, support healthy movement, and encourage deep relaxation.
Kerry believes that effective bodywork begins with listening to the individual needs of each client. She thoughtfully adapts her approach to support each person’s unique structure, concerns, and wellness goals.
In addition to her massage and yoga therapy practices, Kerry is a dedicated yoga teacher and co-owner of Balance Yoga. She plays an integral role in the life and operation of the studio, bringing her passion for movement, healing, and whole-person wellness to the community.
