"I was called to this work because I've always had a fascination with the human body and its intricacies. My life as a dancer and yogi has lead me to a perpetuating curiosity to explore the ways in which the body can move and heal and how that can be facilitated by another listening and holding space that is safe."

Shanna’s background as a dancer, performer and yoga teacher has led her to follow her passion for understanding the human body and its innate ability to heal physically and spiritually. Massage has been integral to her recovery from injury and has fostered a space for emotional exploration. Her approach to massage treatment is to listen to her clients holistically and make them feel taken care of. Shanna is trained in Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, Reiki, polarity therapy, shiatsu, pre- and post-event sports massage, medical massage, prenatal & postpartum massage, reflexology, and aromatherapy.  In addition to working with the body, she has a great passion for hospitality and has worked in fine dining as a sommelier for the past 15 years. Shanna is honored to be a part of the Red Moon Wellness team and loves creating a nurturing, safe, and positive experience for her clients.

Shanna was incredible for the birth prep massage! She listened well to my concerns, explained before we started what she would work on, and then afterwards told me her ideas to help with some of the pain I was having. I loved working with her and already have another one booked!

Shanna has taken such great care with me during my pregnancy. I received a gift certificate for prenatal massage and loved it so much I had to go back. The staff is so warm and welcoming, and the space is clean and bright. Can’t wait to go back again.

I couldn’t be happier with Shanna. First, there was no issue at all about my need for both of us to mask. She had read my intake form, and went over it in detail with me before starting. She even checked to see what kind of oil and music would be good. I had requested deep pressure, and that’s exactly what she gave. In my years of experience as a massage client, this is not often the case. Shanna was completely professional, and yet her personality shone through. My next session is already booked.
