With more than six years at Steamboat Hot Springs and over eight years in the wellness industry, Kayla Ward brings a genuine commitment to holistic health and community-centered care to her role as Manager. She is passionate about supporting balance between active and restorative wellness, and believes movement practices such as yoga and dance are just as important as rest, soaking, massage therapy, skincare, and other rejuvenating modalities.
Kayla is especially inspired by the healing qualities of Steamboat’s mineral waters, both for their therapeutic value and the history they hold. She enjoys learning about the waters’ unique mineral composition and sharing that knowledge with guests, while helping create a warm, welcoming environment for both clients and staff.
Her favorite offerings include the Ultimate Spa Day and Signature Spa Day packages. She loves that the Ultimate Spa Day features a historic mud recipe passed down from Dr. Edna Carver, and that the Signature Spa Day offers a balanced introduction to Steamboat’s most cherished services by combining a mineral bath, Signature Massage, and Signature Facial. Kayla also values how customizable Steamboat’s services are, making it easy to create an experience that suits nearly everyone.
Outside of work, Kayla enjoys yoga, hula hoop dancing, rock climbing, outdoor adventures, photography, modeling, and traveling. She treasures time with family, friends, and her cat, and looks for any chance to be in or near water. On her days off, you may also find her performing with the local circus or heading outdoors for a hike or off-roading adventure.
