Where is Kyla Daniels-Pate Now? Submitted By: Barbara Taug
Therapeutic Massage Therapist, Kyla Pate, has worked her way up to the top. Top of the world that is! This adventurous, 2013 Alaska Career College graduate took her therapeutic skills to Barrow, Alaska to join the Arctic Chiropractic and Physical Medicine team. Kyla Pate is Kiks.adí (raven-frog clan), from the At.uwaxiji Hít Kyla Daniels-Pate (strong house) and is happily married to Martin Pate who is Wooshkeetaan (eagle-shark clan) from Kake, Alaska. Martin is a Marine veteran and currently deployed overseas in Afghanistan with the National Guard. Kyla and Martin anxiously wait to be reunited together on top of the world. They also look forward to learning all that Barrow has to offer. With Kyla’s love of learning of traditional medicine, she has added Thai massage to her skill set and has been taking classes on arctic medicinal plants. Martin plans on joining the Barrow Fire and Rescue Department and finishing his fire science degree. Kyla has already witnessed polar bears, winter Eskimo games, Kivgiq 2015 (Arctic sing and dance gathering), and most unbelievable views of the aurora borealis. She looks forward to the spring whale hunts, the 24 hour summer sun, plant gathering, arctic gardening, and of course for her husband to come home safely!
Thank you Kyla for sharing your adventures with us!
