Enjoy a 55 or 85 min full body stretch customized for you. Unlike traditional stretching, FST works with the body’s fascial net system. Structurally, the fascia system suspends, supports, and enables all anatomical movement from skin to cells and everything in between. Fascia can become restricted by immobility, injury, lifestyle, surgery, and even trauma & emotions. It can become compressed, shortened, and space diminishes within joints and the entire body. This can create pinched nerves, misaligned bones, and other ailments which lead to pain and reduced function.
Shannon will take you through a 55 minute Pilates Reformer or Mat session tailored specifically for your needs. Multiple modalities can be incorporated to help you achieve your needs and goals including FST, Yamuna Body Rolling®, Yamuna Foot Fitness®, TriggerPoint’s Myofascial Compression Techniques, energy work and more. Whether you’re looking to do a gentle restorative session or an invigorating workout, your body will thank you!

Experience healing through the Quantum Field. If you've dealt with health or emotional issues that aren't healing within their expected time frame perhaps there is a more deeply rooted cause.

This method is great for tackling chronic pain and reducing anxiety and depression. Clients report elimination or greatly reduced pain, mental clarity, improved sleep, inner calmness & more. Sessions are 45-60 minutes and can be done in person or remotely. Homework will often be given to help maintain the progress achieved during the session.
Craniosacral Therapy uses gentle touch to evaluate & enhance the functioning of the Central Nervous System, which affects the entire body. The craniosacral system includes the brain, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid, cranial bones, and sacrum. Stress, trauma, and even certain postures can create changes in the system which can create imbalances in the body. CST works in partnership with the client's body and its innate healing wisdom by encouraging the body to find its path to self-correction. Recalibrate your central nervous system with this gentle hands on technique. Sessions are 55 minutes and clients are fully clothed. CST can be an effective complementary therapy for a wide variety of medical problems.

Sound healing is an ancient practice that harnesses the power of sound vibrations to promote relaxation and healing. Sounds consist of vibrations that affect us on a cellular level, impacting brain, nerve, muscle, and organ function. Negative emotions, sickness, and injury carry a lower frequency. The tuning forks produce a vibration at a higher frequency that the body aligns to, promoting healing literally at a faster rate.
