Your body talks and through intuitive guidance, I listen. Let's face it, if you don't feel good in your body, you're not at your best and nothing runs good on an empty tank. I help you feel better in your body so you feel more balanced in your life. Massage is absolutely unique because we are ever changing beings, therefore, every massage will be different. I'm a graduate of The Healing Arts Center in St. Louis, MO and that's exactly what I learned, a healing art. Over the past 8 years I've continued to perfect my craft, always learning and being attentive to my own personal growth. Your session will be customized to fit your needs. I work predominantly with myofascial release and therapeutic cupping to address the root cause of your issue helping you feel better more often. I can't wait to show you. Massage is a therapy and I look forward to indulging you. Thank you for your trust.
I moved to Sarasota on a leap of faith from St. Louis, MO 5 years ago with my 2 teenagers. Life will always be busy so I take my own advice and tend to my self care regularly. In my free time you can find me gardening, at the beach, hiking in nature, reading, playing volleyball, or trying new sushi restaurants.
Shannon graduated from esthetics school in Indianapolis, Indiana in 2000. She went on to further her education in 2008 at the Dallas Center for Advanced Medical Esthetics. She returned to school and attended IUPUI in 2010 and became a certified Reflexologist. She has been practicing esthetics for over 20 years and reflexology for over 10 years.
Shannon has had a great desire to care for people and help them look and feel their very best. She started out in an RN nursing program because she wanted to work with hospice patients. Her path was abruptly changed by a simple gift certificate for a facial that was actually a divine intervention. She went on to volunteer with hospice patients while she was attending school to become a licensed Aesthetician where she landed in her calling. After her youngest of three children graduated from high school, she and her husband of 25 years decided to go on an adventure and move to Florida in 2020. She is very excited to join our team at Esplanade! She will help nurture and care for your health and skincare needs within our loving environment.
Her motto is “Skincare with Inner care!”
