Kelly Van Dyke | Founder | LMT 22338

I attended Everest University from 2015-2016. I received my massage therapy license April 2016. I’ve been a massage therapist ever since!

Family is something that comes first and foremost for me. I’m very happily married to my beautiful wife Ximena and we’ve got three children. All three girls are active in sports and various after school programs. Being active and engaged with my girls is so important to me, I do my best to stay healthy so I can keep up. Our children are definitely a handful at times so I know first hand how important it can be to get a little time for yourself and relax.

My journey that led me to massage has certainly been unlike anything I've ever experienced. For most of my adult life I worked jobs I didn't feel passionately about and that always bothered me. In the Summer of 2015 I decided I needed to change that. I realized that when I was focused on taking care of others and truly helping them, I always got more invested and enjoyed the work. Before I decided to go to school I had a small amount of knowledge about massage and knew it was something I enjoyed. So I gave an hour long massage with no training and had an absolute blast! It was like a light bulb went off and at that moment I knew body work is what I was truly meant to do. Going through school I had incredible instructors that taught me techniques that truly help people. I've learned so much about the body and really found a passion in that knowledge.

I spent four years working out of a local spa. During my time there I learned spa treatments and really dialed in on the type of work I enjoyed. The opportunity to follow my dreams and create my own space presented itself so I took a leap of faith and seized it.

I've been involved in Young Professionals of Yamhill Valley since 2016 and McMinnville Chamber of Commerce since 2016. I was the Tunes on Tuesday Facility Coordinator for 2017 and we were presented an award for Outstanding Impact by the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce.

When I’m not working or spending time with my family I love to stay active. I enjoy personal fitness and working out with my wife. I try to play basketball weekly either with a group of friends or by myself. During the Winter months I love to go snowboarding and during the Summer I ride by long board to scratch that same itch. Sports, fitness and just being active in general are very important parts of my life.

I'm really excited knowing on a daily basis I will be helping people, changing lives for the better. Come get a massage, I can't wait to help you on your journey!
