Founder Story
Brooklyn Gaines LMT
ASAYA Founder and Service Provider
In 2018, I returned to my hometown of Campbellsville, Kentucky. After spending nearly ten years out west, I came home with a vision to create a platform that inspires people to heal their bodies with a more holistic approach.
In 2019, after years of prayer and seeking guidance, I received a distinct message: "If you can touch them, you can help them." That moment marked the beginning of my journey into massage therapy.
The Meaning Behind ASAYA
The logo for ASAYA embodies this vision and philosophy. It reflects the earth's elements: earth, water, fire, and air, symbolizing the natural forces that align and balance the body.
These elements represent grounding, flow, vitality, and clarity. They are principles we embrace to help clients reconnect with their natural state of health.
A Holistic Massage Practice
With deep passion for the human experience, nature, and plant medicine, I have dedicated countless hours to perfecting my craft as a massage therapist.
I am committed to sharing knowledge about holistic health and its many facets, with the ultimate goal of supporting healing in the body, mind, and spirit.
Pain Relief Massage and a Broader Healing Movement
According to the National Health Interview Survey, 50.2 million adults in the United States experience chronic pain on most days. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that between 8 and 12 percent of people using opioids for chronic pain develop opioid use disorder. In 2020, an estimated 2.7 million Americans age 12 or older reported having opioid use disorder.
With ASAYA, I am deeply committed to changing this statistic and being part of a movement toward healthy healing and wellness. Massage is not a replacement for medical care, but it can be one useful support for people dealing with muscle tension, stress, guarded movement, and pain that affects daily life.
A Safe Space for Balance
The journey to healing is truly a lifelong experience. I invite you to share your journey with me at ASAYA, where you can find a safe space for balance within your body, mind, and spirit.
At the end of each massage, I say "Namaste," meaning "I bow to everything that is good and divine within you." I pray that God's hands will guide mine, helping to restore balance within you.
Meet Kevin
32 Years of Personalized, Skilled Care
Licensed Massage Therapist
Kevin is accepting clients Friday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., with some weekday evening appointments also available.
Kevin brings 32 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist, combining advanced clinical expertise with a warm, personalized approach to care. Before relocating from Tampa Bay to Knifley, Kentucky, in 2022, he worked in spas, pain-management clinics, chiropractic offices, corporate events, and chair-massage settings. He also spent two years teaching massage therapy, anatomy, and physiology at Everest University in Florida.
His advanced training includes neuromuscular therapy, myofascial techniques, Thai massage, Myopractic work, and Reiki Master certification. He specializes in addressing soft-tissue concerns associated with migraines and cervical tension, TMJ discomfort, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, rotator-cuff issues, and disc-related pain. When appropriate, he also helps clients better understand potential contributing factors and provides practical stretching recommendations to support longer-lasting results and help reduce recurring discomfort.
Although Kevin is highly skilled in therapeutic and clinical bodywork, he understands that not every client arrives seeking corrective work. He is equally comfortable creating deeply relaxing, restorative sessions customized to each client’s needs.
Beyond the Treatment Room
Kevin enjoys life in Kentucky with his wife, Crystal, and their much-loved horses, cats, and dogs. They spend their free time hiking, exploring the area on their 2003 Honda Shadow Spirit 750, and visiting their four grandchildren in Tampa Bay and Vermont.
Massage therapy isn’t Kevin’s only superpower—he is also a singing drummer who performs with cover bands. When he isn’t helping clients feel and move better, you’ll likely find him playing a show, working in the yard, or unwinding with series such as Vikings, Landman, Dutton Ranch, and The Marshals.
