Start with your FREE initial consultation! Together we will find that unique combination that creates your healthiest, happiest you. Looking at you as a whole person -- instead of the injury or illness that is disrupting your life -- we will unravel the underlying causes, allowing your best self to emerge.

Why a Consultation?

The initial intake session allows Shanie to build a tailored treatment plan specific to your individual and unique needs.

By incorporating yoga therapy techniques, the aim is to increase our resilience and regulation of our nervous system. Through practices such as somatic movement, visualization, myofascial release, meditation and breathing exercises, we can change our mood, emotions, and thinking. This provides healthy coping mechanisms for managing chronic pain as well as the shifts in life that can come from a TBI or osteoporosis diagnosis. Yoga helps us cultivate sensitivity to our body, mind, and emotions, allowing us to settle into what we are feeling within the body. This is called interoception and can be helpful in down-regulating the nervous system, which is essential for healing and managing pain. Yoga therapy also helps build awareness through safe movement, building strength and improving proprioception, allowing for more easeful movement.

The goal of Yoga Therapy is to eliminate, reduce and manage symptoms that cause suffering. Our sessions together will improve overall body function, help prevent occurrence or reoccurrence of underlying causes of illness and assist you in moving toward improved health and wellbeing.

Shanie has such a deep passion for Yoga and helping others that she helped me reach my goals that seemed impossible with other teachers. She was highly knowledgeable about my ailment and had a great bedside demeanor. We need more people like her in the world!
There is a beautiful intuitiveness about Shanie and the healing atmosphere she creates is calm and joyful. All of the areas I was concerned about have improved significantly, and I am very grateful to have found a talented and knowledgeable therapist in Shanie!

"Helped me find health in a time of needing to find deep healing…"

Shanie brought her great gifts of intuition, wisdom, spirituality, expertise, love and compassion to all our yoga therapy sessions. She joyfully and willingly guided my personal practice for exactly what my body needed in 1:1 and group sessions and even made me personal audios and video to use in my daily practice. She came into my life at a time when I needed deep healing and was always there for me when I needed her. I am so grateful for all that she offered and would send anyone to her, for her love, passion and skill of yoga.

DEEP HEALING


Shanie has helped me put together a program that works with my body issues. She has encouraged me towards specific exercises to reduce inflammation and to balance my energy.

Shanie has an incredible level of knowledge and is able to combine guidance on breathing, strengthening moves, relaxation poses and energizing. She is generous with her knowledge and quite capable of creating a program customized for my needs. Working in a one-on-one setting has helped me tremendously. I find myself moving forward in my healing journey through her teachings and yoga sequences.

If you are looking for therapeutic yoga or even just to get past one problematic body area, I highly recommend sessions with Shanie.

I have had the opportunity to work with Shanie Matthews in a one-on-one therapeutic yoga setting. I found my time with her very valuable. Due to autoimmune issues, I have high inflammation and muscle cramping that require me to adjust my lifestyle and approach to exercise. Frankly, my recent attempts to start an exercise program have been so frustrating, that I had considered giving up on fitness.
