Shawna’s approach to massage therapy starts with a simple idea: there’s no one size fits all treatment.
She works with a wide range of people, from office workers and active bodies to labour intensive workers, pregnancy and women’s health, injury recovery, persistent tension, stress and general wellness. Her treatments are individualized to what you need and how your body is presenting that day.
Shawna blends myofascial and Swedish massage with deeper therapeutic techniques, stretching, active release techniques and therapeutic exercise when appropriate. Some days that might mean focused therapeutic work. Other days, a quieter, more relaxation focused treatment may be exactly what’s needed.
Her style is calm, thoughtful and collaborative. She values communication, pays attention to the details, and believes massage therapy often works best as one part of a bigger healthcare picture.
Outside the clinic, Shawna is happiest outdoors with her husband and twin daughters, whether they’re camping, biking, boating, or exploring new trails, beaches, and parks around Vancouver Island. Her favorite summer days are spent wake surfing on Sproat Lake or relaxing at her family’s oceanfront cabin and enjoying the beauty of the West Coast.
