Hi! I'm Shelley
I have been a licensed and practicing massage therapist since 2009. I completed my training in Maui, which was my home at the time, and have been fortunate to work in both high-end spas and clinical settings across London, Australia, Italy, Mexico, Hawaii, and now here in Minneapolis.
​​​​
​
My style blends therapeutic techniques with deeply relaxing touch, working on specific areas of tension, but also treating the body as an interconnected whole. Aside from the many massage modalities offered, I often incorporate tools like hot stones to gently warm the muscles and cupping to release fascia and encourage circulation.
​
Over the years, I’ve found that true relief comes from addressing both the structure and the nervous system. When your muscles release and your mind quiets, your body has a chance to reset. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling lighter—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
​
Many of the physical patterns we carry—tight shoulders, shallow breath, bracing in the jaw or hips—are the result of accumulated thoughts, emotions, and stress from daily life. Massage creates a space where you can start to notice these holding patterns, reconnect with your body, and explore new ways of moving and being.
​
As stress levels drop, everything else starts to shift—sleep, digestion, focus, mood. Massage is one of the simplest ways I know to support the whole person.

What to Expect
BOOKING:
You can text, call, email or use the contact form below to inquire about availability and to schedule an appointment.
Texting is recommended as it's the easiest way to communicate while I'm working
but I will get back to you ASAP which ever method you use.
THE APPOINTMENT:​
Each session begins with a conversation—an opportunity to check in about how you’re feeling and what you'd like to focus on that day. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, or just need time to reset, I tailor each treatment to support both your physical and mental well-being.
​
You can expect the treatment to last for the full amount of time you've booked for.
Initial consultation and getting ready do not cut into your massage time.
​
​PAYMENT OPTIONS:
Payments will be taken after the massage and you can pay with cash, credit card or Venmo.
An 8.89% Minnesota Sales Tax will be applied.
