Shannon Saunders, LMT I have been helping athletes improve their progression with health and flexibility for 17 years.

As a former division one athlete myself, I understand the importance of being “game ready.” As a skilled massage therapist I assist my clients with recovering from injury by using various massage and stretching techniques to aid in pain management. I hold a degree in sociology from the University of Connecticut and played 4 years of women’s basketball there. My clients have included all levels of

athletes, from recreation league to AAU and college level basketball players to marathoners and pro tennis players. I have studied Thai massage, orthopedic massage, myofascial release and Active Isolated Stretching. My knowledge and experience in sports massage, deep tissue work and specific stretching combines with my instincts to find and eliminate restrictions which will help get my clients back to what they love. I use all of these modalities to form a massage session particular to each client.

THIS…

Over the summer, Lotte Wubben-Moy met a young Lionesses fan called Izzy, who is deaf, asking her what her celebration would be if she scored.

Lotte hit Izzy's celebration after scoring for Arsenal in the Continental Cup 🥺❤️

Welp…

Sometimes we are being called to tell our side of the story, and sometimes our action and who we are speaks for itself.

The amazing news is that it is completely up to you to decide.
You always have a choice.

No one EVER has the power to name who you are or to tell your story.
Never allow someone to bully you.
You have nothing to prove. 💚

(Your character will outweigh any lie told about you. Those that know you, KNOW you.-unknown)
