Great space!
It's peaceful, clean, quiet, beautiful, warm and welcoming. Very easy to relax and feel at home during treatments. The selection of local teas is much appreciated, as is the assortment of information and curated products in their waiting room. Always have a smile on my face as I walk through the door, no matter what kind of day I'm having.
I love being able to sit in the cozy lounge and drink a cup of tea before my session.
Great ambiance. Welcoming environment with positive energy.

The Shanti Center feels like home. From the second you walk in the door you feel welcome calm and relaxed. Everyone I've met there in passing has been so nice and welcoming. It's a great atmosphere filled with truly amazing people.
I loved knowing that I would be walking out of the session with a better understanding of my body!
Elizabeth has amazing skill at reading the body and sticking with stuck tissue until it releases

I had hip pain since giving birth to my oldest child, met Elizabeth 6 years after and was out of pain after ONE session. If you want to address your pain pattern and see results, book an appointment!

Elizabeth is great at addressing the areas of my body that need a bit more focus while teaching to my skill and ability level. She is wonderful to work with!

Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful, I can't say that enough. I've dealt with years of chronic pain and have seen countless providers, some with great insights and treatments, and others just as stumped as I was. I can honestly say my body has never felt the type of healing it has before being referred to Elizabeth and starting our bodywork sequence. I have far less pain, overall and after activity/working out, I walk with more confidence and I'm more present in my body. She has literally changed my life and I couldn't be more grateful or recommend her more highly.

Elizabeth is so professional, strong and intuitive, a difficult mix to find in a massage practitioner. She gets right to the difficulties and gets me back in motion everytime.
Susanna is professional and highly skilled. I left my prenatal massage feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I will continue bodywork with Susanna as a part of my health and wellness regimen.

Susanna is fabulous! I couldn’t have made it through the last couple months without her as I have back pain from work and have been recovering from an injury. Highly recommend!
Lindsay's presence is very calming and warm. She used a variety of different techniques and really found some sore spots that I had forgotten were there! Over-all a great experience, can't wait to come back again!

I am recovering from back surgery and Lindsay was willing to be patient with me and ease into applying pressure to relieve my shoulder aches.

Thank you for a wonderful and stress-releasing experience. I had been storing a tear's worth of stress and anxiety in my body. My body actually feels lighter after this massage. I don't think I realized how much I was physically holding on to all that stress.

The best ever - and I've been getting massages for over 30 years. I've spent the morning telling all my co-workers who live in West Seattle.
I'm 34 and I've been exercising and working out since I was 16. I've spent many years lifting weights and beating my body up. One thing I never really did was stretch or work on mobility. This has led to numerous injuries, torn tendons and strains. I've never had a massage or any form of Soma & Rolf Structural Integration. I've known Jason for years in other capacities and when he mentioned this type of work to me I was a little hesitant. But, I kept an open mind as I felt beat up, down and unable to perform even close to my full potential. I opted to do the series with Jason as I knew I needed some help. After my first session I walked out of there feeling revived. After my second session things that hurt when I went in were no longer hurting and things I didn't even know were bothering me felt better. Now I've seen him on a weekly basis for a couple of months and the results are still coming. My body feels better and moves better which improves my mood and all around well-being. For someone like me who has a passion for exercise Jason has been a life saver. I'd recommend him to anyone!

Elizabeth is incredibly skilled and really helped my muscle pain with one session. I signed up for the multi-session program and I’m really excited to continue working with Elizabeth. It’s hard to describe in words how much better my back felt after our session yesterday. I strongly recommend her therapy to anyone with muscle pain.
