• The foundation of Shannon's approach is attentive and intentional touch. Utilizing Swedish massage as a framework she employs slow connecting  myofascial holds and strokes while incorporating  a variety of techniques and modalities to address your patterns of pain + tissue restriction, enhance quality of life + performance. Her practice is evidence-based, viewed through a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial lens. It is inextricably informed by her 30 years of receiving massage and bodywork for both stress reduction and pain relief, adding a depth of understanding and compassion to her sessions.  A session may include moist heat, cupping, assisted stretching, passive body techniques, Positional Release, Myosketetal Alignment Techniques (MAT), Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), Myofascial Release (MFR),  amongst others. Each session is tailored to your unique goals+preferences.
