Kayla Ward

Manager & Private Yoga Instructor

With over six years at Steamboat Hot Springs and more than eight years in the wellness industry, Kayla Ward brings a deeply rooted passion for holistic health and community-centered care to her role as Manager. She is inspired by helping others find balance between active and restorative wellness—believing that movement practices like yoga and dance are just as essential as rest, soaking, massage therapy, skincare, and other rejuvenating modalities.

Kayla is especially drawn to the healing power of Steamboat’s mineral waters, both for their therapeutic benefits and the rich history they carry. She finds continual inspiration in learning about the unique mineral composition of the waters and sharing that knowledge with guests, while fostering a welcoming environment for both clients and staff.

Among her favorite offerings are the Ultimate Spa Day and Signature Spa Day packages. She loves that the Ultimate Spa Day incorporates a historic mud recipe passed down from Dr. Edna Carver, and that the Signature Spa Day provides a beautifully balanced introduction to Steamboat’s most beloved services—combining a mineral bath, Signature Massage, and Signature Facial. Kayla appreciates that Steamboat’s services are highly customizable, ensuring there truly is something for everyone.

Outside of work, Kayla enjoys practicing yoga, hula hoop dancing, rock climbing, outdoor adventuring, photography, modeling, and traveling. She cherishes time spent with family, friends, and her cat, and seeks out opportunities to be in or near water whenever possible. A fun fact—on her days off, you can often find her performing with the local circus or exploring the outdoors on a hiking trail or off-roading adventure.
