“I came to see Shanda for support with endometriosis-related pain in my pelvis, abdomen, and chest. I had heard that visceral work could help with organ restriction and pain. When I first started, I was experiencing daily pain, particularly in my pelvis and upper chest/shoulder. After three sessions over six months, I’ve noticed a steady reduction in my pain each time. I’m very grateful to be seeing positive results.

​

Shanda is very attuned to what my body can handle, makes me feel heard, and is truly helping my pain. I would highly recommend her.”

"I have been to numerous massage therapists and met Shanda a few years ago. It was during my initial session with her that I knew that my body would respond well to her style of massage. It seemed to me that this was the first time my body was being invited to relax and not “forced” to do so. This difference in approach has allowed me to experience relaxation of deep core muscles and move easier and without pain.

​

She has also helped me with scar tissue that was the result of surgery and radiation. I know Shanda continues to explore different modalities of healing and she brings these skills to her massage practice. Her quiet, calm, and generous presence also play a part in the healing. I always leave feeling restored — both body and spirit."

" I first met Shanda in 2019 during a Yoga Teacher Training. From the beginning, her integrity and honesty stood out. As we moved through the 300-hour training, I came to appreciate what a genuinely kind and grounded person she is.

After Shanda completed her massage therapy training, I began seeing her for physical issues I had been living with for several years. My body responded remarkably well to her gentle yet effective techniques, and I began experiencing meaningful and lasting changes. 

 

Shanda is highly skilled and deeply intuitive in her work. While I may arrive with specific symptoms to share, I trust her completely to follow what her hands sense. She consistently identifies the root of my pain and tension, and my body fully relaxes under her care. Following a period of travel and a gut infection treated with antibiotics, Shanda used her visceral therapy skills to help relieve my ongoing digestive symptoms, which made a significant difference in my recovery. Shanda continues to expand her knowledge of the human body and refine her treatment techniques. I always feel safe and deeply supported during treatments.

"I am a person who has a lot going on, from myofascial issues, chronic tension and pain, severe stenosis of the lumbosacral spine, and multiple disc protrusions. Shanda works with the body in a deeply intuitive and supportive way.

​

Her touch carries a sense of knowing — calm and attentive to what the body needs. Mixing her massage background with craniosacral work, she helps release deep tension and create space through the spine and surrounding tissues.

Her treatments leave my spine decompressed, my muscles and fascial tissue released, and my mind calm and clear. I would recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, intuitive bodywork.."

"After years of short-term relief from other TMJ treatments, Shanda was the first practitioner to create lasting results for me. Her calm, reassuring approach combined with her strong knowledge of the body truly sets her apart.

She takes the time to explain the process and listens without judgment, which created a level of trust I deeply appreciated. I’ve experienced sustained and meaningful improvements in my physical health since beginning treatment."

“I have been seeing Shanda consistently for several years. The space she creates and holds feels both physically and psychologically safe. Simply lying on the treatment table, I can feel my body’s tension begin to ease.

 

Her deep understanding of trauma and how it affects the body, combined with her extensive education and training, makes her an exceptional practitioner. Shanda is a lifelong learner who continually seeks out new knowledge. The care and insight she has shared with me have been pivotal to my ongoing healing.”

"I began working with Shanda in the spring of 2020. I was extremely hesitant to commit to yoga, but through trauma-informed therapeutic yoga with her I’ve experienced remarkable healing, both physically and mentally. Shanda is deeply compassionate and completely non-judgmental, which created a space where real healing could happen. I would highly recommend anyone to work with her."
