Meet Keena, LMT
Your journey to wellness deserves personalized care.
Hello, and welcome! I'm Keena, a Licensed Massage Therapist and the proud founder of Desert Moon Bodyworks.
Caring for others has always held a special place in my heart. Growing up, I watched my mother devote herself to helping others through her work as a nurse. Her compassion, patience, and kindness left a lasting impression on me and helped shape the person and therapist I am today.
It's my joy to carry those same values into every session, creating a space where you feel genuinely welcomed, heard, and cared for.

The Journey Behind the Hands
Every journey begins with a moment of clarity.
My journey into massage therapy began with a simple question from my husband, Michael: “If money were no consideration, what would you choose to do?”
My answer was immediate: “Massage.”
His response? “Then we need to find you a school.”
I graduated from Elgin Community College in December 2019 and went on to gain valuable experience at Hand & Stone and Sage Healing Collective, where I spent five years growing professionally under the mentorship of Dr. Emily Loveland.
Through continued education in prenatal massage, myofascial release, cupping, and other therapeutic techniques, I've developed an approach that combines professional knowledge with compassionate, individualized care.
My Philosophy of Care
Working with the body, not against it.
I believe massage therapy is more than relaxation—it's an important part of caring for your overall well-being.
My approach begins with listening, understanding your individual needs, and allowing your body to respond naturally. I don't believe in forcing the body to relax, but rather working with it through thoughtful, personalized care.
Every session is guided by your comfort, your wellness goals, and my commitment to helping you feel your best.
The Heart Behind Desert Moon
A personal vision, thoughtfully brought to life.
I created Desert Moon Bodyworks with a simple vision—to offer something more personal than the traditional spa experience.
A peaceful, private retreat where every guest feels genuinely welcomed, listened to, and cared for. A place where I can dedicate my full attention to you, providing thoughtful, individualized care without the rush of a busy spa environment.
Desert Moon Bodyworks is more than a business to me. It's a dream brought to life, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share it with you.
I look forward to welcoming you.
Your Private Retreat Begins Here.
