Client Reviews
I’ve had an incredible experience getting 2-hour body work sessions with Shylah throughout the last 9 months. Her approach is gentle, intentional and thoughtful. I’ve always wanted to incorporate massages into my health routine as someone with chronic pain, tension and stiffness and I have found a great practitioner for this goal finally in Shylah.
One thing I didn’t realize would happen is the mindfulness aspect— this time isn’t just about working out the kinks in my body like I thought. It’s a safe way to practice being present, in the moment, and to practice awareness in my body! It’s been a special journey and I’m excited to keep exploring with her.
-Anna G.I appreciate the fact that Shylah spends more time than most on assessment and truly understanding the client. That assessment is then used to provide a customized treatment plan versus one size fits all for everyone. There are periodic check ins to ensure the experience is hitting the mark. The music and the lighting/ambiance make the whole experience about you and your well being. Highly recommend Shylah!
-Curt B.I've been seeing Shylah monthly for the past year, and she has transformed how my body feels. She has a talent for finding and working out long-standing muscle knots that I didn't even realize were contributing to my discomfort. She's unlocked tension in places I didn't know could hold knots.
After each session, I would leave feeling like all the stress from my corporate job has melted away and reground (and feeling part walking blob of jello ). Her skillful methods and intuitive understanding make every appointment something I look forward to and my body reminds when I miss our usual timing.
If you're looking for an LMT who truly knows their craft and can reset your body, Shylah is the one.
— Tim M.Simply the best. I’ve been to a handful of other therapists before I went to Shylah and while I did find them relaxing, nothing compares to how healed and reset I feel after a session with Shylah. She is clearly knowledgeable about her work and I trust her completely. For personalized, unique techniques and care, there is no one better.
— Tisha M.Shylah’s mastery of body work is exceptional. I’m a baker with a lot of ware and tear injuries that result in daily chronic pain. Not only has regular body work from Shylah given me more pain free days, but her gentle, intuitive, patient approach has allowed my body to actually heal from the things I’ve put it through. Her use of rocking and pulsing in addition to flowy massage techniques has allowed release of things in my body that I have been harboring for years. In addition to being highly skilled at many modalities, she excels at creating a safe and beautiful therapeutic environment where clients feel at ease and cared for. I would recommend her work to anyone in a heartbeat.
— Marti P.Not a massage that happens to you, but with you.
Under the best of circumstances, it can still be difficult for me to let the nervous system settle. This difficulty was mitigated by a curated space and a range of calming sensory inputs - soft sound, hot rocks, pleasant scent, etc.
Meaningfully, the most calming element was the work. Shylah stays attuned to the rhythm of breath and to somatic responses throughout - this created a more collaboratively informed type of session in which my needs and her ability could intersect. Through this sensitivity we were able to positionally release areas muscle groups that may tend towards spasm, an experience that left with a sense of relief and also a better understanding of my own body. Subsequent sessions have been equally rewarding.
If you find yourself in clenching/holding patterns physically, Shylah may help.
