Hi! I'm Shawn
With a passion for helping others in a meaningful way and a strong interest in anatomy, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2016 after making a career change. I completed the Massage Therapy program at Columbus State Community College.
When working with clients, I take a holistic approach. I consider not just their physical issues, but also how these issues impact their overall health and wellbeing, lifestyle, and body's tension patterns. I take into account any old injuries or "dysfunctions" as well.
My goal is to work with your body, rather than against it. I tailor my techniques and approaches to your individual needs and always respect your preferences and comfort level. By enhancing your body's own ability to handle the challenges of life, I can help you function comfortably at your best.
There is nothing more rewarding to me than seeing my clients experience increased freedom of movement, as well as a greater sense of wellbeing and relaxation.

“The sense of touch is the massage therapist’s main avenue used to affect another being and is the body’s main method of gathering information about itself. In contrast, an artist uses the sense of vision, and a musician uses the sense of hearing to communicate with others. Touching can affect us physiologically, cognitively, psychologically and emotionally.”
