Chiropractor in Calgary SE: Optimum Wellness Centres - Shawnessy

Dr. Kayla Goodwin brings a compassionate and patient-centered approach to chiropractic care, shaped by a
lifelong passion for movement and helping others. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of
Lethbridge, earning a double major in Kinesiology and Psychology. Her personal experience with injury through
years of Irish dance—and her time in high school sports medicine—sparked a deep interest in understanding the
body and optimizing performance.

After being a long-time patient at a chiropractic clinic she admired for over 14 years, Dr. Goodwin took the leap
and pursued her Doctor of Chiropractic at the University of Western States, graduating in 2024.

With experience treating a wide range of patients—from those managing chronic pain to individuals recovering
from acute injuries—she is passionate about helping people feel their best and stay active in the things they
love. Whether through manual adjustments or gentle activator techniques, Dr. Goodwin tailors her care to suit
each patient’s comfort and needs.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find her embracing the outdoors—hiking, downhill and cross-country skiing—or cozying
up with a good book and a warm cup of tea.

Over the past 13 years, I have worked with Optimum Wellness Centres and embarked on other adventures such as becoming a mother. I have 4 beautiful children that are mesmerizing and create wonderful challenges daily, alongside motherhood I continued to work privately.

In the past 13 years, I have excelled in many different modalities of Massage Therapy some of which include: Pregnancy Massage, Infant Massage, Jade Hot Stone Massage, Acupressure, and Meridian Lines, Therapeutic, Swedish Relaxation Massage, Myofascial Cupping, Reiki, and many more. I absolutely love what I do and am eager to learn more modalities to help clients reach their Optimum health. I also speak 4 different languages and can read and write in each one of them as well, they are Portuguese, French, Spanish, and English.

I am ecstatic about returning to work for Optimum and working with such great teammates as well as wonderful clientele.
