ABOUT ME
HELLO! I’m Kiko...
I am a certified flexibility coach/bodyworker practicing out of Austin, Texas.
I dream of a world where more people feel empowered in their everyday lives to express their truth through the daily actions and movements that define our beings.
I love embodied movement whether it’s through rock climbing, ecstatic dance, or rolling around on the floor for hours at a time deepening the connection to my body.
I have also personally experienced years of internal tension due to sports injuries, poor posture, and internalizing stress which affected me deeply on a physical level.
I felt trapped within myself and had to learn the skills to create space for facilitating healing and transformation on an anatomical, psychological, and emotional level.
My belief is that a gift is meant to be shared and multiplied for all to benefit from which is why I am truly honored to share these tools with others to aid in their own personal growth journey.
Let’s create some magic together and explore all that the body is capable of.
WHAT IS BODYWORK?
Bodywork is a personal development technique that involves working with the human body in a form involving manipulative therapy, breath work, or energy medicine.
The therapies are used to relax you and unwind tension.
This may allow the body to move in a natural, graceful way.
The goal is to realign and reposition the body.
Bodywork therapy works to relieve pain, increase relaxation, boost circulation, and also correct imbalances in the body.
It will help to reduce your stress and anxiety levels while also helping with your range of motion.

FAQ
What will the bodywork experience be like?
The session will be facilitated through a mixture of intentional breath work, nervous system regulation, and bringing awareness into the internal system to address imbalances, limitations, and activations of specific muscles and joints.
What needs to be completed in order to secure a session?
First step is to fill out the intake form with relevant information to get a full picture of what’s going on with your body and what goals you have for yourself.
Second step is to reach out through phone or email to get a free consultation and select a time to schedule the initial session.
Third step is to show up on time or 5 min early for your session ready to do some great work; arriving after session start time will result in a shorter session duration.
Cancellation policy; appointments must be cancelled or rescheduled within 24 hours to avoid cancellation charges of the full service amount.
How should I come prepared before the session?
Best way to have a productive session is to show up well hydrated, eat a meal a few hours beforehand, and wear comfy clothes that are easy for you to move in. Avoid clothing like denim jeans or dresses since they could get in the way of achieving full range of motion.
How should I take care of myself after the session?
Delayed on set muscle soreness (DOMS) after a session is a very common occurrence similar to doing a heavy workout and feeling soreness the next day. Best practices include drinking lots of water 24-48 hours after, light movement like walking, and getting lots of rest so the body can acclimate to any new changes.
