Emgee is warm, friendly and knowledgeable. She knows her stuff and I feel much less pain a day after my massage. Her hands know what to do!
Excellent all around
Super great vibe.
The Shanti Center is my favorite place for body work in Whatcom county. All the practitioners are warm and caring experts. The space is beautiful and parking convenient. I have worked with Susanna for nearly a decade helping me address recovery from back surgery and maintenance on ongoing physical issues. I've also worked with Elizabeth and had tremendous results from all her wisdom and care. This is a fantastic home for taking care of your body.
The Shanti Center is warm and welcoming. I know that my health and safety is the priority in this lovely space.
Elizabeth knows exactly what my needs are and can find the root cause of most issues! She has helped me to feel good and meet my personal athletic goals. Not sure what I would do without her! She's amazing!
The health benefits from the technique Elizabeth uses are outstanding. I am a 71 year old former Marine and retired Chiropractor. I injured my left shoulder playing football in High School and reinjured it in the early 80's. I thought it was healed until recently I had difficulty putting on my coat. After my first visit I not only had improvement in my shoulders range of motion but the overall feeling of wellness. Thank you Elizabeth!
Elizabeth Ruff is an incredibly talented healer. Great professionalism and very personable. She shows care and determination in assisting your body to heal. I greatly recommend her and the staff at Shanti Center.
There is really no better way to spend time than with a massage by Elizabeth. Knowledgeable, professional and empathetic she performs an amazing, deep massage that leaves you feeling better aligned and more settled in your skin.
Susanna is wonderful, intuitive and creates a comforting space to work her magic.

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.

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.

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.
