Back in January I was asked to crew for Team Wild Things Run as they competed in LALV 26. Now that we are on the other side of this incredible experience, I’m still struggling to put this weekend into words…

To the runners: 💜 Your talent and grit are inspiring! Watching you run and having you trust me with your bodies is an honor. I’m so proud of you, my babies!!!

To my crewmates: .flowstate and the illusive Lester 💜 I didn’t do my fair share of the driving, one million thanks to you all for picking up the slack so I could keep my hands on bodies (and make sandwiches.) We are family forever.

💜 Your eye is unmatched. Thank you for capturing all these moments.

Since my surgery in 2021, I have struggled to find my place in this sport I love so much now that my fastest miles are behind me. Somewhere out in that desert it all became very clear. My experience and love of runners is where I belong. The joy I felt caring for you all was so rewarding. I’ll do it again as many times as you ask.

I’m looking forward to returning to my home at (I repped us hard all race long!) tomorrow with this newfound clarity and a very full heart.

Thank you team .co for this opportunity.

We are all we have and we take care of each other. As the proud wife of an immigrant, as a helper who served and was lovingly embraced by the local Somali community for a decade, I must do my part in the general strike on Friday.

I will be donating all of my earnings for Friday, January 30th to the NW Immigrant Rights Project.

We can all do something. If you can, stay home from work. Donate time, money or your gifts to local aid organizations doing the vital work of protecting our neighbors and loved ones. Spread and share resources. Speak up for those who have less safety than you.

Do what you can, friends. Sending you all my love. 💜

As many of you have noticed, I quietly changed my name a few weeks ago. If you have been in studio over the last year, I have shared the changes in my practice for 2026. For everyone else, here’s the formal announcement…

I am retiring the bodywork portion of my practice after 22 amazing years. This decision is bittersweet but ultimately the right path forward for me. I will be decreasing my availability by 25 percent starting in March and will continue to scale back from there. I look forward to working with my incredible family of clients to get them all placed with talented new bodyworkers.

This is definitely not the end of the journey for me tho. This reduction allows me space to grow the somatic breathwork portion of my practice and I am so humbled and energized by the feedback clients have had to this work.

There are booking links in my bio to both my free monthly breathwork group and to book individual in person or virtual sessions. To those of you who have referred friends and family to this new offering, your confidence is the greatest compliment you can give me. Thank you.

If you are curious about this work, sign up for my next group session on Sunday, February 15th at 12pm PST (moved from 2/8 due to the Bad Bunny concert).

If you are ready to dive in and do the work, snag a spot on my calendar.

The opportunity to continue to serve my community is the honor of my life. 🙏

I didn’t take many pictures but I will never forget this week.

To Chelly, Chris and the rest of the family, thank you for opening your home to us. What a gorgeous place you have created! I cannot wait to return.

you are a star. Over the last 5ish years I have watched you build your dream life. I’m so happy for you and proud of how you show up. You are right where you are supposed to be. Thank you for being our fearless leader. The love you have for the practice and the way you teach others is a gift.

thanks for herding us all week. Being a co-host is all the work and little of the glory. Sasha is lucky to have you.

Auntie .e.hanson thanks for stepping out and doing a new thing with me. Your friendship means the world to me. I love you.

To all my Wild Thing sisters… We can never explain to others all that this week was and that is magic. I didn’t expect to laugh, cry, stretch and bend with you all the way we did. You all have a piece of my heart and I can’t wait for the reunion. I’m better having known you all.

2026 is going to be a year of change at Shakti and change can be scary. After this week of reflection and rest, I am ready to move into this new chapter with an open heart and a clear mind.

Be well, my friends. 💜

I’m so looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow! A month of rest, sunshine and quality time with the boys has me feeling refreshed.

I was so incredibly lucky to visit The Nest Beachside Spa not once but twice while I was in Bali. Friends, Balinese massage is top notch! Spectacular.

It is such a privilege to get to indulge in local forms of bodywork when I travel. The most important influences on my work have come from the diverse modalities I have studied and received, as well as the cultural and ethnic wellness practice of the immigrant populations I have had the pleasure of serving.

I encourage you all to try a therapy that is new to you. The PNW is full of providers of different modalities from all over the world. You might just find your ideal bodywork is one you haven’t experienced yet.

May March be good to you.

Friends! Next week the Lee’s will head out for our biennial Lunar New Year holiday!!! We are very excited to see family in Singapore and Australia as well as enjoy a quiet week in Bali just the three of us.

If you have been in studio lately you have already heard my plea… Don’t go a month with bodywork!!! There are so many incredible local practitioners. Here are some options.

Monroe, restorative massage

north Seattle, women only

Phinney Ridge, deep tissue and prenatal

Bellevue and West Seattle, sauna and cold plunge

Renton, luxurious and pampering

Judkins Park, chiro, gym, cryo and sauna

As most of you know, I am a firm believer on receiving as many types of bodywork from different practitioners as you can. We all do and bring something different to the work. Explore a new set of hands in February!

I look forward to returning in March, rested and ready for what spring has to offer.

As always, caring for you all has been the privilege of my career. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Happy 2025, everyone! I enjoyed 2 weeks of rest and holiday fun and am ready to get back to work. I have a couple of announcements as we start the new year.

1. I will not be taking on any new clients in 2025. In order to continue to give the quality of work that is important to me, I can only do so many sessions a week. I have hit that limit!

2. I will be temporarily closing my waitlist. I currently have 20 amazing folks on my waitlist for cancellations. I rarely have 10 cancellations in a year! If you are a bodyworker and have space for new clients, drop your details below so I can add you to my referral list. 🙏🏻

3. I’m gonna be posting less. I don’t love being on the socials, so I’m gonna honor that this year. I will share mutual aid, cool events and pretty pictures but that’s probably about it. I will gather my strength to post on main for important stuff! That said, text and email are always the fastest/most reliable way to communicate about your appointment.

4. Nothing will change in 2025 around pricing. I adjust my prices for inflation every other year, so that will come in 2026.

5. My schedule remains the same. Monday/Tuesday/Thursday with appts at 9am/12pm.

It is the honor of a lifetime to care for you all. I wish us all peace, prosperity and health this year.

Cheers, friends! 🥂

You still have a few days to get the December subscription box from ! These soft ginger spice cookies are a perfect treat for the holidays. We set a few aside for Santa but I didn’t want to share!!!

I love to give the gift of self care! Here is a short list of some of my favorite places to get you started. If you are a fellow small business owner, tag yourself and your holiday offers.

If you have ever been in my studio you have heard me rave about Tanya and Megan at Katrin Skincare. I am obsessed with them and think that everyone should be too!

Michelle at Diva Massage is one of the most talented set of hands in the game. She has created a women’s only space for bodywork that is well worth the trip!

Innovative Health is an inclusive gym and wellness space in the Mount Baker neighborhood. They have a massive gym, cryotherapy, red light therapy, infrared sauna, chiropractic and massage therapy. Give the gift of movement!

I could go on and on with recommendations but y’all get the gist. Shop local and make a small business owners day!

Y’all still have until 11/21 to get the November box! This month was a savory collab with and to celebrate their Climate Blend. A perfect addition to an upcoming holiday meal perhaps?

Breads can seem daunting but these kits make baking so easy! We so enjoyed having various sliders all week on these tasty babies.

If you need a gift for someone special in your life a subscription box is a fun and unique choice. Head over to and take a look at their gift options! You can also enjoy feeling good about doing good as the mission of The Pastry Project is to support bakers with barriers to entry in the field

I’m thankful for you all!

In the Lee house we never need an excuse for cake but I was thrilled to make this chocolate baby from to celebrate the 4th birthday of !!!

Adrianna was generous to gift all ambassadors a set of these adorable oven mitts in my favorite color! Make sure you give her a follow for some delicious Latin-inspired recipes.

Not only is October birthday month over at The Pastry Project, this is also when they start recruitment for their 20-week free pastry program for 2025. As if you needed an excuse to sign up for this yummy subscription box?!? Your monthly subscription funds this vital program to train pastry chefs with barriers to other programs and employment. Eat cake and do good, friends!!!

Head over to and sign up for the monthly box before 10/21 and you can get this birthday box.

Earlier this week I had my first cold in nearly 5 years. It was super minor and only lasted about 2 days thankfully. I credit the severity and duration to the Chinese herbal medicines I keep on hand and the privilege of being able to get extra sleep when my body needs it.

A few years ago I spent 2 years getting certified in Chinese Herbal Medicine and it was a game changer for myself and my clients. Herbal and plant medicines are a great option for those looking for a non-pharmaceutical option to treating disease of the body. I personally avail myself of both Eastern and Western medicines but credit Chinese herbs with keeping me healthy and well on a daily basis. Interested in Chinese Herbal Medicine? Feel free to pick my brain during your next session!

Rest up, take your herbs and vitamins and get outside when the weather allows during this start to the cold and flu season, my friends!
