Practicing massage therapy is a calling that began before I earned my bachelor's degree. My formal training started at the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork on Kauai, Hawaii, following my studies in Chinese Medicine at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. With over 1,000 hours of massage training, I specialize in Myofascial Release, Cranio Sacral Therapy, and Structural Integration. I have trained in Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Prenatal, Trigger Point, Swedish, and Lomi Lomil. My massage education under Mark Olson, Ph.D., emphasized the Neuroscience Affective Relational Model, making me a Trauma-Informed therapist. 

My massage sessions are somatically focused, incorporating Myofascial Release, Cranio Sacral Therapy, and Structural Integration, tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe the most effective sessions occur when clients deeply engage with their bodily experiences, gaining new awareness and sensations. While I prioritize the nervous system, gently addressing areas of pain to recalibrate it, I refer clients to other professionals when necessary and offer long-term support to help them achieve their goals. With a background in dance, yoga, meditation, and endurance sports, I combine my diverse knowledge with hands-on work.  I also offer pharmaceutical-grade Thorne and Microbiome Labs supplements at a discount. I think health is our greatest asset and I am eager to help my clients attain better health and wellbeing.

I had an amazing experience! The massage was incredibly relaxing. Shannon focused on problem areas and that’s exactly what I needed . The therapist was professional, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The atmosphere was clean, calming, and welcoming. I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality massage!
