We are proud to be Montclair Village's first Alameda County-Certified green business through careful emphasis where possible on a low carbon footprint, recycling, non-toxic supplies and natural organic products.

Kilalo is a sponsor of research designed to enhance early detection and ultimately a cure for Ovarian Cancer by donating a percentage of our profits to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF).

We are proud to serve our Oakland community in the following ways:

  • Early-Bird & After-Hour Urgent Therapy by Prior Appointment
  • Filtered Drinking Water & Hot Towel Hand Rubs for Senior Citizens
  • Sidewalk Entertainment & Balloons for Toddlers
  • Complimentary Treatments for Residents who have Suffered a Loss or Near Loss of a Loved one
  • A Fund-Raising Endeavor for Causes Relevant to and Affecting the Wellbeing of Residents
  • First Aid* for Minor Cuts, Bruises & Aches

*Please note that we offer first aid under the protection of Good Samaritan laws. We reserve the right to refer treatment requests to qualified medical and emergency services personnel, and in the case of unaccompanied minors, to parents and guardians for prior consent. 

We aspire to competence, connection and caring - values that guide not just technical excellence, but also the manner in which we provide therapeutic services to you.

We instill a culture of therapeutic excellence in our team, each of whom is:

  • thoroughly screened to meet our rigorous training, professional and ethical standards.
  • a registered member in good standing with preeminent professional associations.
  • a graduate with at least 300 hours from quality schools in the Bay Area. 
  • California State-Certified or Licensed by the City of Oakland.
  • trained for at least 3 weeks before treating Kilalo clients.
  • inspired to continue training relentlessly thereafter
  • insured, which requires a track record of ethical excellence and safe treatment of clients.

...and fully committed as a condition of employment, to a healthy lifestyle and continuing education at least once a month.

We protect the health and wellbeing of our therapists:

  • We do not employ commission-only therapists - our team are salaried and covered by workers’ compensation insurance for every hour worked at Kilalo
  • We do not design shifts that exceed 5 1/2 hours, including a (paid) break.
  • We practice relentlessly in the quest for creative therapy through (paid) on-the-job training at least once a month.
  • We offer partially- and fully- paid health care and vacation for therapists who work the eligible hours.
  • We carefully select ergonomic massage chairs and tables for our therapists.
