Our Philosophy

Hey, I’m Shaily

Kavanah Cares’ founder and Massage therapist.

I am a qualified and experienced Remedial Massage Therapist and Pregnancy Massage Practitioner, dedicated about supporting women through every stage of motherhood. Since starting my journey in this field in 2017, I have found deep joy and passion in healing through touch.
My specialty lies in pregnancy, labour preparation, postpartum care, and massage training, and I bring a background in mental health to enrich my practice.

Becoming a mother to my precious son in 2022 has further deepened my understanding and skills, allowing me to connect with my clients on a more profound level.

I have a strong passion for nurturing women through all stages of motherhood, in particular pregnancy and postpartum offering tailored treatments that positively influence the way each stage of the journey is experienced. I take pride in helping women approach their due date with less anxiety and stress while also addressing the ongoing physical discomforts that can arise along the way.

Kavanah Care is a space for women to feel held as they heal throughout all stages of life. Our complimentary services ensure our clients receive holistic and high quality care tailored to their individual needs.

At Kavanah Care our focus is on the mind-body connection. Offering effective treatment options in a tranquil, safe and calm environment which allows the body to fully let go, recover and heal….

Born from a space of deep love and compassion, Kavanah Care is a bespoke brand that supports women, wherever they are on their journey, to heal and evolve.

We are passionate about women’s health and building a supportive community, particularly through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Our aim is to support and guide you on your journey into motherhood and beyond.

With a deep root in philosophy, “Kavanah” כַּוָּנָה  is the traditional Hebrew word for direction, intention or purpose. This underpins the current that runs through Kavanah Care; each service and offering can be traced back to an intention to honour the delicate rhythms of life and the purpose to nourish and heal. May everything we do, be done with the right intention and purpose. 

Kavanah Care honours the ritual of self. Our desire is to share intentional and healing modalities through our massage, skin and body treatments, carefully curated packages, healing rituals, as well as events and in-home experiences.
