EmpowerYou: Tailored Wellness at Your Fingertips
- Customized Wellness Plans: Designed to fit into your lifestyle, these plans emphasize nervous system rejuvenation, gentle strength-building and mobility work to address your body’s specific needs.
- Specialized Mobility Routines: These routines focus on joint stability, body alignment, and somatic awareness to reduce chronic pain and improve movement.
- Neuro-restructuring Practices: EmpowerYou helps retrain your brain to break the pain-anxiety-stress cycle through mindful movement and somatic techniques, creating lasting change.
Neuro-restructuring for Lasting Change
One of the key principles of my approach is neuro-restructuring, which focuses on using the brain’s ability to adapt and rewire itself (neuroplasticity) to help you move past chronic pain and stress. Through daily somatic practices, body alignment awareness, and breathwork, we can reshape how your nervous system responds to stress and pain, creating deep and lasting healing.
30-Day Programs: Focused on Your Unique Needs
- Pain Relief and Mobility: A 30-day journey focusing on somatic movement, sound healing, vibration, visualization, breathwork, and neuro-restructuring techniques to relieve chronic pain and improve flexibility.
- Stress Reduction and Resilience: Focused on calming the nervous system through mindfulness, breath practices, and gentle movement, this program helps you manage stress and build emotional resilience.
- Strength and Vitality: For those looking to improve their physical strength and flexibility, this program offers exercises tailored to your body’s needs, designed to build sustainable strength without overloading your system.

60 Minute Somatic Rejuvenation Session
By incorporating somatic therapy techniques, the goal is to enhance resilience and regulate the nervous system. Through practices like somatic movement, visualization, myofascial release, meditation, and breathing exercises, we can positively influence our mood, emotions, and thoughts. These techniques offer healthy coping mechanisms for managing chronic pain and navigating changes from conditions such as TBI or osteoporosis. Somatic work cultivates sensitivity to our body, mind, and emotions, fostering interoception—awareness of internal sensations—that helps down-regulate the nervous system, essential for healing and pain management. Additionally, these practices can release barriers to orgasm and help us find more pleasure in life, creating space for deeper connection with ourselves and others. It also builds strength and proprioception through safe movement, promoting easeful mobility and greater enjoyment of everyday experiences.

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.
