Shay is interested in the mind-body-spirit connection. She is fascinated by how mental and emotional stresses can manifest in the physical body and cause pain, illness and disease. And vice versa. Likewise, she is awed by the wisdom held in the body, the resiliency we walk with, and our capacity for healing.

Shay is a compassionate listener with a warm presence. She works slowly but methodically, listening and feeling for change as she goes. She takes a holistic approach with clients, focusing on health rather than individual aches and pains. Drawing from both professional and personal experience, she aims to help clients achieve their goals of healing, restoration, well-being, and growth.

As an active body, Shay has relied on body work for maintenance and repair to keep moving comfortably and efficiently.  After a devastating injury, massage played a key role in her rehabilitation, both physically and mentally. After experiencing the healing powers of human touch, she left behind a career in statistics to share her gift with others.

Outside of bodywork she finds joy in nature, spending time with her family, and movement of all kinds - dancing, trail running, biking, and practicing yoga.
