Movement has been a core theme in his growing practice with martial arts, yoga, Integrated Massage & Personal training (IMAP) as his continuing education. His work is focused & deep, while gentle. Other interests of his are his dogs, nature, cooking, and percussion instruments.

Shane has always had a fascination with the mind-body connection, and the whole miraculous workings of the body. He graduated from USF in 2014 with a degree in psychology and continued his learning at massage school, when he realized massage could be a method to blend his interests with the wellness of body and mind. After graduating from the massage school, he stayed close by, working at the school in various capacities. Currently he teaches kinesiology and massage at the school.

He blends his knowledge of myofascial and neuromuscular therapeutic bodywork. He can help clients with their pain and discomfort by collaborating in a goal-oriented manner, giving educational tips for awareness and movement with gentle exercises. A session with him may include range of motion assessment, stretching, and resistance/isometric work. He will also allow for relaxation and quiet gentle work.

Shane’s passion for healing and helping others speaks through his hands.  Time spent receiving from him may allow you to connect more deeply with yourself, affording you peace of mind and ease in the body. He is the kind of “pretty great guy” (spoken by those that know him) that will make getting a massage the best thing you did for yourself today!
