Our Story
Nourish & Move was started in 2020 after Kayla Simmons, our founder and lead acupuncturist, decided she was ready for a change. She had always wanted to practice her medicine by spending more time with patients, educating them, and creating customer formulas herbs. She started practicing out of her home, and in 2021 an opportunity to collaborate with the Himalayan Institute of Pittsburgh (HIP) came about. This was beneficial to both parties, as Kayla could work with other practitioners more easily, and the Himalayan Institute's clients gained easy access to an acupuncturist.
Through collaboration with Kate Mackin, Director of the Himalayan Institute of Pittsburgh, Nourish & Move absorbed HIP in 2023 while retaining both the synergistic environment they were known for as well as the staff members. We are proud to be a fully collaborative and holistic studio, bringing together the wisdom of ancient healing traditions such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and reflexology, with the transformative benefits of yoga. Our practitioners are not just experts in their respective fields; they are compassionate individuals who believe in the holistic approach to healthcare. They work harmoniously, combining their expertise to provide our patients with an unparalleled level of care. We are proud of the progress that we have made and look forward to growing in the next few years.
