On Sacred Grounds Relaxation Retreat

I had a 1.5 hour massage with Nathan in the Sensorium recently and it was divine! This mom of two needed some down time/relaxation but I also had some kinks in my left hip and left shoulder that needed to be worked out. Nathan was able to get deep into my trouble spots and loosen them up. Plus he's got such a long wing-span that at one point he was massaging one of my feet while also massaging my shoulder! I didn't even know that was possible! Plus being in the Sensorium makes you feel like you're in a worry-free cocoon. I felt so rejuvenated afterwards.

Shannon's massages are also wonderful-- there's a rhythm she gets into that's just so soothing and comforting. You can tell she's 100% in sync with you while she's massaging you--she's incredibly intuitive. She also did some biofield tuning on my 8yo daughter when my daughter was having lots of anxiety issues at school. Shortly thereafter my daughter began feeling more confident and was having way less stress tummy aches. I think the sessions helped pave the way for the breakthroughs my daughter had with her anxiety. Six months later my daughter is performing in school events, etc. Amazing!

Connecting with Shannon and her Womb Wellness practice has been a profound and transformative experience for me. After just one appointment, I felt a huge shift in my healing, from overwhelm to empowerment, and into a more hopeful, gentle, "already healed" mentality. I am seeing Shannon in addition to a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and it has been incredible to see how her work both reflects and enhances the tools and knowledge used in more conventional medical practices. Her unique blend of massage, guided visualization, and sound medicines form a very productive and wholistic healing modality. My womb has felt activated, juicier, and more vocal since our first session. The effects of her work have amplified my awareness in many realms, including the dream world, my physical body, and how I perceive myself/my path. With her help I have increased sensation within my womb and am learning to relax and release tense muscles and blockages. Shannon's sound advice and nurturing wisdom has helped me soften mentally, emotionally, and physically. She has encouraged me to open to new possibilities for my life path and clean up any corporal and emotional debris that may be holding back my full potential. The personal practices she recommends have been potent, pleasant, and easy to integrate into my regular routines. I am so grateful to have come across Shannon's skillful and intuitive work at a time when I am ready to dive deep into resolving cycles of endometriosis and infertility that I have been enduring for years. I have been singing her praises to all my soul sisters, and recommend her work to anyone who is ready to amplify their healing path in multiple dimensions.

I started my path to better living about three and a half years ago when I moved to Ashland. Being truly embodied was difficult to me since being/living in my body was quite painful. Yoga/dance or other embodied practices seemed nice but I was limited due to tight fascia and muscles.

Receiving regular massage from Nathan has been a truly transformative practice. His hands have helped me learn about my body, working though those stiff inflexible areas and learning to soften. He also taught me how powerful breathing into your body can be for opening up. I have used so many techniques and tools from massage in my daily life.

I am forever grateful for Nathan and Shannon’s amazing presence and offering to the community.
