My passion is to help individuals live their fullest potential. Touch of Relief is the vehicle I have been using for the last 27 years.
I use many different modalities/tools to accomplish this. check out the book now button to find the service menu. The body is much smarter than we are. By allowing the body's wisdom to prioritize, it allows the body to make the appropriate long term changes. As a practitioner it is my intent to take a w-holistic approach to your health. With the use of my Zyto scan we can identify your body's stressors and what your body needs to balance those stressors. It really can be as simple as listening to the body. Are you ready to find out what your body is asking for?

🧠 Mental & Emotional Benefits
Reduces stress and anxiety: Meditation lowers cortisol and helps regulate the nervous system, shifting the body from “fight-or-flight” to “rest-and-digest.”
Improves focus and concentration: Regular practice strengthens the prefrontal cortex, improving attention span and decision-making.
Enhances emotional balance: Helps reduce overthinking, fear, and anger while increasing clarity, compassion, and emotional resilience.
Boosts mood and creativity: Stimulates serotonin and dopamine, supporting joy, inspiration, and a more positive outlook.

💓 Physical Benefits
Lowers blood pressure and heart rate: Encourages parasympathetic activation, improving heart health and circulation.
Reduces inflammation and pain: Mindful awareness influences pain perception and reduces inflammatory markers.
Improves sleep quality: Calms the mind, balances melatonin, and helps regulate circadian rhythm.
Enhances immune function: Decreases chronic stress hormones that suppress immunity.
---
🌬️ Energetic & Spiritual Benefits
Balances prana (life force): Deepens breath and restores flow through the nadis (energy channels).
Supports chakra alignment: Stillness and awareness bring balance to subtle energy centers, especially the heart, throat, and crown chakras.
Deepens connection to self and source: Encourages inner awareness, intuition, and spiritual growth.
Promotes equanimity: Cultivates a state of “witness consciousness,” where experiences are observed without attachment or aversion.

🧘♀️ Ayurvedic Lens
In Ayurveda, meditation pacifies Vata dosha (air + ether), calms Pitta (fire + water), and prevents Kapha (earth + water) stagnation.
It strengthens sattva guna—the quality of clarity, harmony, and truth—balancing the rajas (activity) and tamas (inertia) tendencies of the mind.
---
✨ Cumulative Results
With consistent practice, meditation:
Creates emotional stability
Improves intuition and awareness
Increases patience and empathy
Encourages self-healing and acceptance
Fosters a peaceful, compassionate way of living

I haven't read cover to cover yet. But skimmed and read. I am so excited to start from beginning and take it to the end, because of what I have read already.
This is such a precious gift from a beautiful soul I am proud to call my friend.
Thank you Shaun.

🧘♀️ Yoga This Week at Touch of Relief
Touch of Relief isn’t just a place to “work out” — it’s a community. A space where you can show up, breathe, move, and simply be you.
Whether you’re brand-new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you’re welcome here:
New to yoga? Start with a Yin class. Slow, gentle, and deeply grounding, it helps you connect with your body and calm your nervous system.
Curious about Flow? Beginners are guided step by step so you feel supported the whole way.
Remember — yoga isn’t about how it looks; it’s about how it feels. Even two experienced yogis in the same pose will look different because we all have unique structures. In my classes, I honor those differences and cheer you on for being YOU.
🌟 Your invitation: Find a class time that works for you, register online, or send me a message — and come experience the difference for yourself.

🌿 What Bodywork Does for Me 🌿
After a massage, I feel like I’ve reconnected with my body. Aches and pains are directly addressed and eased. Sometimes, when I get off the table, I need to sit for a moment, drink some water, and let everything integrate. Other times I feel energized and ready to take on the world—or so relaxed I could roll over and fall asleep.
The truth is, the body is dynamic. Every session feels different because it reflects what’s going on inside you on that day. But one thing stays the same: I always feel better when I leave than when I arrived.
As a practitioner, I’ve also learned that if I go longer than a month without bodywork, I start getting a little jealous of the people on my table. Self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a must. If I don’t care for myself, I don’t have the resources to fully care for others.
When was the last time you gave yourself some true self-care? Bodywork is one powerful option—but it’s not the only one.
Here’s my current availability. If you’re feeling the call for hands-on support, reach out—I’d love to help you reconnect with your own body.
This week will be your last chance for 2 weeks. As I will be out of the office from the 22nd thru October 8th.

For those who do not know, I moved my business location a year ago to accommodate my Ayurvedic studies. And there has been personal challenges/opportunities this last year for me to practice what I preach with perception shifts, meditation, etc... also known as self-care.
These challenges have helped me appreciate a little more what we as persons having a human experience feels like. I am greatly looking forward to this upcoming year to fulfill my spirit from the lessons I’ve been learning with more love, more kindness, and a presence of non-judgment.
As of today, I have finished the make-over I have given my company. If you haven’t stopped by in a while, schedule an appointment and come see me. Let me brighten your human experience.
The body is much smarter than we are. By allowing the body's wisdom to prioritize, it allows the body to make the appropriate long term changes.
As a practitioner it is my intent to take a w-holistic approach to your health. With the many modalities I have learned over the last 20 + years, I can support your body and mind to facilitate wellness.
It really can be as simple as listening to the body.
