KAYLA SOUNTHALA

Meridian Ten Mile Spa Manager

For Kayla, a visit to the spa should feel like a little escape from the craziness of everyday life, even if you only have 30 minutes. She loves creating a space where clients feel heard, comfortable, and completely at ease. To her, wellness is about so much more than the services themselves. It’s having a place where you can relax, feel taken care of, share a good laugh, and walk out feeling refreshed and a little more confident than when you arrived.

Kayla’s goal is to make your time at Slick Rock something you genuinely look forward to—not another obligation on your to-do list. She takes the time to get to know you, understand your goals, and create a routine that feels both personalized and realistic for your lifestyle. There’s no rushing and no pressure. Whether you’re working toward a specific result or simply need some well-deserved “me time,” Kayla wants you to feel comfortable asking questions and confident knowing you’re in good hands.

Her perfect self-care trio is the Wellsystem Massage, Red Light Therapy, and K11 LED. She starts with the Wellsystem to relax and unwind, adds Red Light Therapy for its skin-supporting benefits, and finishes in the K11 LED for that extra color and glow. Her product pick is Solar Saturation, a versatile triple-dip lotion she can use with red light, infrared, and tanning. For Kayla, anything that keeps self-care simple while helping her get more from her services is a win.

Kayla also brings more than five years of experience in the beauty and cosmetics industry as both a beauty consultant and makeup artist. Working with people from all walks of life taught her how powerful it can be to help someone feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. That experience naturally carries into her approach at Slick Rock, where beauty and wellness go hand in hand.

Outside the spa, Kayla loves discovering new restaurants—especially different cultural cuisines—and indulging in a little retail therapy. She’s also been a devoted Hello Kitty fan since childhood and even has the tattoo to prove it’s definitely a lifestyle, not a phase. And if that doesn’t tell you enough about her personality, she proudly embraces her “crazy cat lady” title. Kayla and her mom help feed and care for a local colony of cats together.

Her go-to wellness advice? Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate—inside and out. Clients can expect to hear two questions from her pretty regularly: “Have you had enough water today?” and “Are you using your lotion?” She knows that consistently hydrating your body and moisturizing your skin can make a big difference in both skin health and the results you get from your services—and she’ll happily give you that loving reminder when you need it.

If it’s your first visit, Kayla wants you to feel welcomed and genuinely cared for from the moment you walk through the door. She and her team are there to listen, answer your questions, and take the guesswork out of getting started. Every recommendation is made with your lifestyle and long-term goals in mind, with education and encouragement at the center of it all. You bring the goals; Kayla and her team will help you build a wellness routine that gets you there and makes taking care of yourself something you actually look forward to.
