About

A graduate of Brenneke School of Massage 2008 which has now become Cortiva Massage Therapy School. I pride myself on being able to construct each massage session to best support the needs and goals of my clients and check in as often as necessary to ensure they are receiving the care and attention they need. The techniques I bring into a session are always growing as I learn and hone my skills. Some of the techniques and styles I include are Swedish, Deep Tissue, Craniosacral Therapy, Trager, etc. I look forward to each session and approach it as a unique experience.

Shanda is a recent graduate of Northwest Academy for the Healing Arts, but their journey into the healing arts began in childhood, learning bodywork techniques to help their parents manage chronic pain conditions. Around the same time, Shanda got involved in competitive sports, eventually falling in love with movement arts. They taught tae kwon do through high school and captained a local cheer squad, which rolled over into teaching martial arts and qigong professionally through adulthood.

After returning to college to graduate Summa cum Laude with their Bachelor’s in Health Science, they continued their education to become a Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist, working with a variety of clients to correct compensatory posture and movement patterns, including correcting “tech neck”, rebuilding bilateral strength in stroke survivors, and adaptive gait strategies for cerebral palsy patients.

Now in the next stage of their journey into the healing arts, they are excited to marry all their combined expertise into one bodywork practice. Shanda has been trained in classical Swedish massage techniques, deep tissue, trigger point work, lymphatic drainage, and myofascial release
