Your Journey to Wellness Starts Here.
Together, let’s create a life filled with vitality, joy, and fulfillment.
A Healthier, Happier You:
I’m Shanie Matthews—certified NASM Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Somatic Therapist. With expertise as a 500-hour E-RYT Yoga Teacher, Brain Health Coach, and Meditation Specialist, I’m here to guide you toward your happiest, healthiest self.
My mission is simple: to empower you to connect with your strengths and achieve your goals with confidence and balance.
Somatic Therapy Changed My Life
As a trauma survivor and someone who overcame an eating disorder, a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and the effects of Oxycontin dependency, I know firsthand the transformative power of wellness. These tools gave me back my health, vitality, and a renewed sense of purpose—and they can do the same for you.
I specialize in supporting clients with Chronic Pain, barriers to orgasm, and Traumatic Brain Injury, helping them regain mobility, balance, and joy in their lives.
This is why I’m dedicated to wellness—because sometimes, we all need a helping hand to move forward.

From Pain to Healing: My Journey
For over 15 years, I’ve committed myself to helping others break free from chronic pain. My work is intuitive, organic, and deeply personal, drawing not only from my education in yoga therapy and trauma healing but also from my lived experiences. This combination allows me to offer a compassionate and customized approach to every client.
Dedicated to Helping Others
My own journey has taught me that freedom from pain is possible, and I’m here to help you achieve it. Together, we’ll work to overcome the barriers holding you back, unlock your inner strength, and build powerful tools to support your lasting transformation, creating a future filled with resilience, balance, and growth.
Let’s Begin Your Journey
Kindhearted Wellness isn’t just about healing physical pain; it’s about discovering the inner healer within each of us and unlocking our highest potential. Through techniques like therapeutic yoga, sound healing, mindfulness, and somatics, I guide clients to reconnect with their bodies, reprocess trauma, and rebuild their lives with purpose.
Why Kindhearted Wellness?
My life has been shaped by chronic pain, major injuries, and the challenges of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). These experiences pushed me to ask hard questions: Why does this pain continue to define my life? Why do I feel trapped by it? Through self-reflection, I uncovered that my suffering wasn’t just physical—it stemmed from deep emotional wounds I had carried for years.
From Pain to Purpose
Healing is not about finding a single magical solution. It’s about integrating diverse tools, including breathwork, meditation, sound healing, neuroplasticity, and nervous system repair. These techniques gave me the strength to address my deepest pain and grow in ways I never thought possible. Pain, once my greatest challenge, became my teacher, guiding me toward light and transformation.
Step Into Your Power
Healing was not a straightforward path. I sought help from therapists and coaches, and I immersed myself in studying somatics, yoga therapy, brain health, and trauma recovery. Along the way, I discovered that true healing requires a holistic approach. I created a blend of techniques that allowed me to confront my traumas, release pain, and rebuild my body, mind, and spirit.
