This is my work!
This is my purpose!

This work didn’t just heal my body — it changed my life.
Through intentional touch, I learned how to feel safe in my body again, how to soften instead of bracing, and how to listen to what my nervous system had been asking for all along.

As I healed, something shifted inside me. What began as personal restoration became a deep passion, and eventually a mission. I realized I wanted to create the same sense of grounding, presence, and care for others — the kind of healing that meets you where you are.

That is how XYLIA was born.
Not from a business plan, but from lived experience. From transformation. From a calling to create a sanctuary where body, mind, and spirit can return to balance. by @lena_wky

Somehow, stepping into authentic facial work has become one of the most beautiful skills I’ve ever learned.

It’s not just about beauty. It’s about understanding the wellness behind it.

We often look outward for solutions — the next product, the next device, the next treatment. But what I’ve truly come to understand is this: so much of what our face needs is already within us.

It’s the touch of the hands.
It’s intentional pressure.
It’s technique.
It’s presence.

Different pressure speaks a different language to the face.
Slow, grounding pressure can calm the nervous system.
Deeper, intentional techniques can release fascia and long-held tension.
Rhythmic movements can stimulate circulation and awaken the skin.

When we work through the muscles and fascia of the face, we are not just sculpting — we are communicating. The jaw often holds unspoken emotions. The forehead carries our stress. The cheeks reflect how much we allow ourselves to feel.

The face responds differently to different touch — and when applied with awareness, the hands become a tool for both beauty and healing.

Everything is connected.
Muscles. Fascia. Skin. Nervous system. Emotions.

Authentic facial work isn’t about fixing flaws.
It’s about understanding what the face is expressing.
It’s about working with intention.
It’s about reconnecting beauty with wellness.

And that is the kind of beauty I truly believe in. 🤍

I’m so proud of myself for reaching the three-year mark of something I created from the ground up. It hasn’t always been easy—there were ups and downs, lessons and growth, moments of doubt and moments of deep joy. But I made it through, and I truly appreciate myself for not giving up. Good job Lena🥳

I’m also incredibly thankful for the beautiful souls who have stood by me, supported me, believed in me, and reminded me of my light—even on the days I couldn’t see it myself. Your presence has helped me shine, just by being who you are.

I feel nothing but blessed. And as I celebrate this milestone, I’m also looking forward with an open heart—ready to keep creating, keep dreaming, and keep building the vision that’s been in my soul all along. The best is still unfolding. ✨✨✨ taken in Xylia Spa Vancouver by @lena_wky

Every course I take reminds me of one thing…

Healing isn’t about learning more techniques.
It’s about learning how to hold people with more understanding, compassion, and intention. 🤍

I recently completed my training in Postpartum Diastasis Recti Recovery Massage, and it opened my eyes to something so much deeper.

Pregnancy doesn’t simply change a woman’s body—it transforms her entire foundation.

Diastasis recti isn’t only about the appearance of the abdomen. It can affect breathing, posture, core stability, lower back discomfort, and how a mother reconnects with her own body after giving birth.

The more I learn, the more I stand in awe of the incredible wisdom of the female body.

I’m not be to a therapist or healer to “fix” the body.
I’m the person who’s create a safe space where the body feels supported enough to heal itself.

This is why I never stop learning.

Every certification is not another achievement for me.
It’s another promise to every person who trusts me with their healing journey.

Thank you to my teacher Yuki for sharing this beautiful knowledge.
And thank you to myself—for always choosing growth, curiosity, and the courage to keep evolving.

Because healing begins the moment someone feels truly seen. 🤍✨

——

每上一堂課，我都再次提醒自己一件事……

學習，從來不是為了掌握更多技巧，
而是希望自己能用更多理解、更多同理心，以及更多的愛，去陪伴每一位來到我面前的人。🤍

這次完成了產後腹直肌分離修復按摩課程，讓我對女性的身體有了更深的敬畏。

原來，懷孕改變的不只是外表，
而是整個身體的核心。

腹直肌分離，不只是肚子突出，
它還可能影響呼吸、姿勢、核心力量、腰背不適，以及一位媽媽如何重新與自己的身體建立連結。

越深入學習，我越覺得女性的身體真的很不可思議。

我不是要成為療癒者或按摩師去「修復」一個人，
而是成為創造一個讓身體感到安全的空間的人，讓它重新找回原本就擁有的療癒能力。

這也是為什麼，我從未停止學習。

First time in my life receiving this many trophies and certificates… and my heart feels so full. 🏆✨

I never imagined one course could bring so much growth, emotion, and achievement. But I gave myself completely to learning the beautiful art of Moxa Warm Jar — with my whole heart, full dedication, and so much respect for this practice.

What makes this even more meaningful is that this happened right before it got regulated in Taiwan. I feel truly honoured to have learned from the beginning, grown into a practitioner, and now become a teacher who can help carry this knowledge forward.

This journey has shown me that it is not just about trophies or certificates. It is about preserving wisdom, honouring the lineage, and sharing this beautiful healing art with the rest of the world.

So grateful. So proud. So honoured. 🤍✨ by @lena_wky

2025 hasn’t been the easiest year. It’s been a rollercoaster—tears, letting go, and holding things in—but also so much growth, reflection, and happiness. It’s been tough, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

There’s been grief, but also moments that reminded me of my strength and what I’m capable of. Through it all, I’ve stayed true to myself, more present than ever. Grateful for every lesson, every joy, and even the struggles, because they’ve all shaped me into who I am now. And a huge thanks to the people around me who support me when I’m low, celebrate me when I’m high, and give me constant inspiration—your support and guidance keep me moving forward. 🙏💛

Now, 2026… I’m coming for you! More growth, more laughs, more purpose. Ready to step into my strength, live with intention, reach my full potential, and find peace along the way. Here’s to a year of growth, authenticity, peace, and living with purpose by @lena_wky

Found a deeper level of relaxation.

Learning new stretching techniques opened more than just my body—it touched my heart. I was deeply moved by the passion and care of every instructor. Their dedication inspired me beyond words, motivating me to grow not only in my skills, but also as a person and in my business. Thank you so much for such a beautiful and unforgettable experience. taken in Vancouver, British Columbia by @lena_wky

I’m so incredibly grateful I got to learn this beautiful Zen Thai on the island. I literally wasn’t expecting any of this. Everything about this trip just kept getting more beautiful and heartwarming. Being surrounded by people who truly appreciate the land and are so open to receiving and giving love—the way everyone came together as a community was incredible to witness and be part of.

What really struck me most was how much fun we were having and how powerful the love we received and shared felt. Like, just hugging each other, enjoying the music, laughing, and feeling that spirit—it felt so good and so right in my soul.

I’m truly grateful for my most beautiful and sexy bestie—Chio. She’s literally such a fun and playful spirit who shows me what it means to be truly authentic and herself. With her, I get to be that little girl who can be super silly without any judgment. We’ve shared so many moments together—laughing until we cry, crying together, dancing our hearts out, challenging ourselves to grow… so much more. I love you so so much, Chio 🩷 taken in Cowichan Valley, British Columbia by @lena_wky

Throwing it back to my birthday 2022 💫

Three and half years ago, I was literally having a complete meltdown right before my birthday. I was so lost, grinding 14-hour days juggling two minimum wage jobs while doing manager-level work. I knew deep down I was capable of something bigger, but I felt trapped – no opportunities at my current jobs, too scared to start a business because I had zero experience and barely any money.

But then my friends surprised me with a Vancouver trip to celebrate, and we headed back to Whistler after. I’ll never forget that moment – walking down to the beach with my dog and my bestie, watching the most incredible sunset paint the sky.

Standing there, watching those colors spread across the horizon, something shifted in me. I thought, “Okay, the sky isn’t falling yet, and there’s still this beautiful sunset right in front of me.” I realized I needed to be grateful for where I was and trust the process of whatever I was going through, even when it felt impossible.

Looking back now, I get it. I was stuck because I KNEW I needed to change – that’s exactly why I was going through such deep frustration and having those meltdowns. I felt like I couldn’t do better, but the truth was, I just needed to trust the process and believe in myself.

That sunset moment taught me that even in our darkest, most overwhelming times, there’s still beauty to be found. Sometimes we need to step back, breathe, and remember that our struggles often mean we’re on the verge of something bigger.

Trust the process. The sky hasn’t fallen yet. 🌅 by @lena_wky
