Shannon provided the best massage I’ve ever experienced. From start to finish, the session was incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. Shannon’s skill and attention to detail were unmatched. She really took time and care in addressing the very specific needs I’m experiencing. As a busy mom of two, and having had bilateral breast reduction surgery 1.5 years ago, I don’t always realize how much pain I’m experiencing. I left feeling completely transformed, all the tension in my body having melted away, and even breathing better! I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend Shannon’s services to anyone looking for that special care we don’t generally give ourselves.
