I've been getting full-body massages for years and thought I knew exactly what my mind and body needed until I met Shannon. Her style was unlike anything I'd experienced, and my first thought was, "That's not what I like or how I like it!"
First, I preferred to start the massage face up, but Shannon began face down. "Oh no," I said to myself. Also, I needed to start the massage at my head to quiet my mind, but Shannon started at my feet. "OH NO," I said to myself.
She began working at my feet with a quiet, slow, calming touch, and her pressure began to relax me. It began quieting the chatter in my mind, and I quickly realized that what I thought I liked best wasn't so!
I quickly realized that the calming, relaxing, quieting touch vibrated through my body from my feet to my head. I could feel my body and mind soon relax, releasing the tension. It was proof that my thinking that I needed a therapist to start at my head to quiet my mind was false.
I never realized that I needed more than a quiet mind to bring the imbalance in my body into balance. I needed my mind to be quieted in cooperation with my entire body. In that moment, I had an awakening, and my mind and body needed to communicate together, not individually, for maximum self-care.
Every session has been unique and in tune with my body's needs, with the common denominator being that I walk away feeling like my mental and physical needs have been met. Being open-minded about the massage process was the best thing I have ever done for myself! I quickly realized that my mind and body needed Shannon's approach.
The benefits last far beyond my session, and now I realize how important it is for my mind to listen to what my body says. Thank you, Shannon, for showing me the way to greater mental and physical health awareness.

I always feel more confident in my body after a session with Shannon. She holds space for my mind and body to catch up so that I have more clarity around my discomfort; it's easier for me to see possible solutions.

When I get to the table at the start of my session, my mind is whirling, and my body is beyond tight from the physical job I have. Shannon seems to intuitively know exactly where to go to move my muscles and mind. I'm always much calmer and at peace with everything after my sessions with Shannon—plus, my body feels fantastic.
90 minutes of me-time is an essential part of my life now.
L.B.
I always think I know what my body needs—and want to control it—until I get on Shannon's table.
Sure, I'll tell her where my spots of concern are, and she listens. Then Shannon magically finds all sorts of other areas that are somehow connected to the original areas of tightness in ways I didn't think were, or could be, at all possible, but they are.
Before I know it, the session is over, and I'm floating out of the building.
Thanks, Shannon, for knowing I'm a bit of a control freak with my body and mind. You always know what to do.

Extreme relaxation with profound, lasting, effective results. Shannon has forever changed my perspective on deep tissue massage and shown me my body doesn't need all that to get the results I want. Shannon has shown me that her intuitive listening to my body and what it needs vs. what I think it needs has provided me with sessions that now feel complete and whole versus broken up and unfulfilled.
Thanks, Shannon -- appreciate it.
