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.

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.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Shannon is excellent at her craft, she cares about you as a client and works hard to make you have a worthwhile experience. Highly recommend.

Shannon is a highly skilled and intuitive practitioner. She has been instrumental in aiding my recovery from severe leg pain that had the potential to become a chronic issue. What sets Shannon apart is her ability to listen, assess, and adapt her treatment based on what my body needs. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with pain, injury, or mobility issues.

Shannon and her technique are amazing. I haven’t found another massage therapist who is able to find the problems and actually fix them consistently.

Shannon always checks with me about any aches or pains I have before we start our session and adjusts her session as needed.

Very patient and soothing. Always willing to share knowledge and tips to help relieve stress outside of the appointment.

I woke up with a headache from tight muscles the morning of my massage. Shannon focused on my neck and shoulders hitting points in my jaw, neck and armpits as well. It was amazing and I felt so good afterwards. Looking forward to my next massage.

Shannon is an amazing and skilled massage therapist. She was able to release muscle tension and areas of pain with me, that had been bothersome for some time, for me. I highly recommend her.
