Ropana Wellness

Ropana Wellness Ropana was created to extract the power of oneself to facilitate healing using therapeutic massage. Kayla St.

Marie, owner of Ropana Wellness, is a licensed massage therapist, certified personal trainer, and certified yoga teacher. Kayla was working in the health and wellness industry for five years prior to becoming a massage therapist. Her specialties are complementary health care modalities designed to help, not hinder, individuals. Kayla emphasizes that we rely on the body’s own ability to heal itself, instead of relying on pharmaceutical drug therapies. In ayurvedic literature "Ropana" translates to ‘healing wounds’ or ‘the ability to heal oneself'. Kayla is skilled at providing deep tissue techniques, neuromuscular therapy, assisted stretching and sports massage for pain relief and to help sore muscles recover faster. She works with all ages and every client receives an integrated and customized treatment plan that addresses their individual needs and treatment goals.

The Role of Massage Therapy in Strength Training Recovery

Athletes and individuals engaged in heavy resistance training place significant stress on the musculoskeletal system. Without proper recovery, this can contribute to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), restricted mobility, and increased risk of overuse injuries.

Clinical benefits of massage therapy in this context include:
• Enhanced circulation, supporting oxygen and nutrient delivery to fatigued tissues.
• Reduction in muscle tension and soreness, improving tolerance for subsequent training sessions.
• Improved range of motion and flexibility, which can positively influence lifting mechanics.
• Early identification and management of soft tissue restrictions, aiding in injury prevention.

Incorporating massage therapy into a structured recovery program allows athletes to maintain consistent training intensity while reducing the likelihood of setbacks.

📅 Appointments available for individualized recovery care.

Join Our Team at Ropana Wellness – Appleton, WI

Ropana Wellness is a growing therapeutic massage studio in Appleton, founded on the belief that we are better together as humans. Our name, Ropana, means "to heal"—and that’s exactly what we aim to do, not just for our clients, but for each other as a team.

As a solo therapist, I’ve been humbled and grateful to build a practice filled with loyal, amazing clients—but the demand has grown beyond what one pair of hands can handle. That’s why I’m looking for a passionate, kind, and skilled licensed massage therapist to join me in building something truly special
