All therapy treatments include organic lotions, oils, and Inframat therapy.

Massage Therapy

 Massage therapy is manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person's health and well-being. There are dozens of types of massage therapy methods, also called modalities. Shannon has studied multiple modalities and bodywork methods and uses an intuitive approach to help your body with its own natural healthy abilities.   

Fascia Release Therapy

A technique developed in targeting areas of pain relief and body contouring Fascia is a matrix of collagen fibers that weave throughout the entire body.  When the fibers adhere together, problems can follow.  Fascia release can reduce pain, improve muscle performance and accelerate recovery, increase flexibility and lessen the look of cellulite.
​

Cupping Therapy

Cupping involves placing glass jars on the skin and creating a vacuum by suctioning out the air. The underlying tissue is raised partway into the cup. The purpose of cupping is to enhance circulation, help relieve pain, remove "heat" and pull out the toxins that linger in your body's tissues.  Cupping is used with stationary placement as well as a gliding motion to create a 'cupping massage'.
​
Far Infrared (FIR) Therapy
​Hot stone therapy is deeply relaxing and provides a myriad of health benefits that promotes an overall feeling of well-being. It utilizes three types of therapies that penetrate 4-6 inches through the body tissue to stimulate the circulatory system. Take advantage of this technology to promote relaxation and burn up to 900 calories per use, giving a sauna-like effect.
*All treatments include (FIR) therapy but you can add this as a treatment all on its own.
 Kansa Massage

What Others are Saying...

"I've had a lot of massages in my life but after my fascia blasting therapy and cupping therapy - I'll never go back to just an ordinary massage. I feel too good and my body is looking better! Plus Shannon is super nice and makes me feel comfortable. She listens!" - Sommer

"She is so incredibly amazing! I can't believe the way my body feel after I leave and she takes the time to really work what you need and you don't even need to tell her she already knows where you're in pain and that's a talent. If you need a massage I promise you, you will not regret going to her!!"- Amy
