Shannon Biel’s unique, flowing massage style draws from many years of experience using integrative bodywork modalities. She customizes massage sessions, creating a blend of techniques, which may include:
Aromatherapy using 100% pure, high quality & sustainably sourced organic essential 0ils
Foot Reflexology
Reiki or Energy Work
Table Shiatsu
Hydrotherapy (Hot Stones, Aromatic Mists, Hot Towels on the feet and back)
Each appointment with Shannon will be personalized to your specific health needs at the time, and will include use of products from her own line hand crafted aromatherapy products, Driftwood Apothecary.
Shannon started her healing arts & bodywork training in the late 90's at the Transformational Arts College in Toronto, where she was a student in their Holistic Health Practitioner program. During this time, she experienced profound healing and improvement in her own health through the use of natural therapies, and she realized that she wanted to help others heal themselves too.
Her path eventually led to the west coast of Vancouver Island where she worked as a Massage Practitioner and Kayak Guide at a remote wilderness resort. Inspired to learn more, in 2005 she went on to further her training at Vancouver's Sprott Shaw College, earning an Honours Diploma in Spa Therapy (1000 hrs). She then relocated to the Sunshine Coast of BC and has been there ever since! Over the course of 23 years, Shannon has provided thousands of professional bodywork massage treatments in a variety of spas and wellness settings.
Her tranquil home-based studio is located at the top of Trail Ave in Sechelt, BC, and she offers flexible appointment times. She also offers mobile spa services and chair massage, perfect for weddings, events, spa parties, workplace health & wellness days, or just because you want a spa-quality massage in your own space without having to leave the house. If needed, she has access to several professional therapists and estheticians, where they will bring the spa to you! You will also find her doing contract spa work at the luxurious Painted Boat Resort Spa & Marina on the weekends, and being a busy mom and wife the rest of the time!
Shannon absolutely loves the work she does, and feels privileged to be able to help her clients reach their self-care goals, and experience the healing power of touch :)
