Shelly has extensive experience with prenatal and postpartum massage (she taught these classes at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy for several years and worked on the Longmont United Hospital’s BirthPlace Massage Team for 18 years). She has had the honor of working with a wide variety of people: pre- and post-surgical clients, oncology patients, teens, elders, athletes, hospice patients, and folks who simply wish to de-stress and re-connect.

I have been told by numerous people over the years (psychics, seers, even a shaman!) that I am a healer … but never really knew what to do with that until I needed to heal myself. My path led me to reiki a few years ago, and I have been truly amazed at how powerful it can be. Reiki is a universal life force – sometimes called “chi” or “prana” among other things – and it belongs to everyone! I decided to go through the training to become a Reiki Master so that I can bring deep relaxation and healing to anybody that wants it, and to raise the vibration on this Earth … we need it! I am also currently working towards my MS in Maharishi Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, and hope to be able to offer even more lifestyle and wellness services soon! Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment. Make yourself a priority and come on in!
