“Shandoah was able to discern what my issue was and gently and directly guide me to correction. Teaching me powerful tools for noticing the difference between imbalance and balance, I now automatically self correct as the bitter taste of old patterns are easily noticed and dropped. Ever since our first session, I walk and move with a self awareness which enjoys the enlivening health of balanced posture and breath. This single session has lead to a deep shift in my life.”

“ I was introduced to Shiatsu 15 years ago when I began my chiropractic practice. It had been years since i had experienced the work. Shandoah is a talented shiatsu practitioner with an intuitive healing touch. She is compassionate and caring. Experience the amazing health benefits of Shiatsu by Shandoah. ”

“I recently had the opportunity to get treated by Shandoah and it was exactly what I needed. Upon entering her studio, the smell of lavender instantly began the relaxation process and I knew this was going to be a great treatment. I have an extremely busy schedule, which includes taking care of my son, work, school and I train martial arts 4-5 days a week, so it’s hard to get treatments as much as I should. As soon as Shandoah started though, she knew right where to go, listening to what my body was telling her. She was very open and caring and her sensitivity to what my body needed each moment was incredible. By the time I left I felt completely energized. Even with my busy schedule I will definitely make it a priority to see Shandoah again very soon.”
— Alana
“I have had recurring neck pain for the past two years and in one session, Shandoah not only released my whole upper back but gave me one profoundly valuable tip about my posture that has helped me release in ways I couldn’t have imagined! She is a beautiful spirit with healing hands.”
— Xiemena
“I was introduced to Shandoah through Bend and Bloom Yoga studio where I took one of her workshops in Shiatsu. The workshop was a wonderful experience. It was informative, laid back and a great introduction to the benefits of Shiatsu. I look forward to attending the next one in November. I then indulged and went to have a shiatsu massage with Shandoah which confirmed her highly intuitive and gifted qualities as a practitioner. I found her practice to have a wonderful flow that induced a deep sense of relaxation and invigoration. I am a dancer so have several aches and pains that needed addressing. Her experience as a dancer enabled her to fully understand all my complaints and I experienced huge shifts of energy within my body and felt things releasing as she worked on me. I left feeling calm and relaxed but also energised with a clear mind and focus. I highly recommend her to anyone who is very physically active but also to anyone who needs to unwind and let their troubles drift away.”

“ Shandoah’s Shiatsu NYC, the best.”
— Elena Brower, Art of Attention
“ There is something miraculous in the simplicity of Shandoah’s approach. She understands the subconscious’s willingness to be explored with a minimal but focused guidance on her part, and receives it with a warm and gentle confidence that enables the process to unfold naturally and feels safe. The results are powerful and undeniable, with remarkable effectiveness after just one session. ”
— Lune
“Shandoah has an extensive understanding of the body through her own dance practices, a sensitive touch and very friendly and approachable persona. I have benefited greatly from her treatments, my body feels great and I appreciate her insights and advice. Go see her and she’s sure to help you along your way! ”
— Zoe, Acupuncturist
“This summer I had 6 or 7 sessions with Shandoah. I loved the first session so much that I signed up for a series. Shandoah is skilled, professional, responsive, sensitive, knowledgeable. I can’t say enough about her work! She helped me with recurring upper back issues and with advice on making some changes to my lifestyle and diet. I plan on scheduling another series with her beginning this month!”
— Delia
“Shandoah is a very good listener, an intuitive healer, and engages me actively in the therapeutic process during each visit, helping me to understand what’s going on in my body. I not only feel better after seeing her, but also feel as though I’ve learned something about myself that I can continue to practice while I’m sitting at my desk at work or relaxing at home. And perhaps best of all, the benefits are both mental/emotional and physical. Seeing Shandoah has been an investment I am extremely glad to have made. I can’t recommend her more strongly.”
— Erin
“I can honestly say that working with Shandoah changed my life. She is incredibly gifted and insightful and taught me a tremendous amount. Each session (I had four) lingered for days, as I integrated what I’d experienced into my daily life. I know I will be going back to her periodically as I have never felt so peaceful and energized as I have from her practices. She truly is amazing.”
— Brenda
“I felt gently and soothingly guided through the experience, feeling like it lasted only 15 mins or so, not the actual hour that it did. Right after the session I felt calm and relaxed. Since then I have felt the ‘craving’ much less often and when it has come up I have been immediately aware of it and able to use one of the tools you gave me to get past it, really helps and I feel quite empowered that it then helps me to focus my attention elsewhere.”
— Ruby
“A few years ago I started struggling with a condition that made me loose all movement of my left hand and some on my right hand. It’s a combination of nerve damage and bad circulation that makes me constantly in pain specially on my legs - feet - arms - hands. My first session with Shandoah was an eye opening experience. I’ve been to many doctors and none have been able to truly help. She worked on my arms and with a combination of pressure and stimulation of the nerves I could for the first time in 4 years open my fingers! After the second session I had no pain for the entire week! There is a lot of love in what she does and the way she does it , and that is very powerful !!!”
— Ana
“A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of receiving a session from Shandoah and I am still feeling the profound effects in both my body and emotional state. For a few years, I have suffered with muscle tension in my psoas muscle. After my one session, I almost immediately began to feel the pain fade. Not only did she help me on a physical level, but she guided me into the deeper psychosomatic layers. She has a knack for putting people at ease and a healing touch. Highly recommend!”
