About Shawn

Hello, my name is Shawn and I'm a graduate of Algonquin College in Ottawa with a diploma in Health Science specializing in Massage Therapy. I'm an active member and registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.

After completing my studies in Sault Ste. Marie and Ottawa I returned home to the Belleville area to start a private practice. Since then, I have been continuing my education in the areas of CranioSacral Therapy, Myo-Fascial Release, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory. I combine my knowledge of western and eastern training to assess, understand and provide effective soft tissue treatments to my clients.

Aside from soft tissue manipulation I also offer a unique style of healing called Integrated Healing which is a combined knowledge of many healing modalities specifically Reiki, Karuna Reiki, and Shamanic healing. I have received my Masters training in the healing energy art form of Reiki and Karuna Reiki. I am also a self taught Shamanic healer and I have had the pleasure of working with many teachers and guides to develop my intuitive healing abilities since childhood. 

Philosophy of Care

The care that you receive is based on a healing model that comes from the understanding that everything is interconnected and affects everything else. Healing is the process of achieving balance in a way that requires individuals to listen to their body.

The goal of this model is to reestablish the connection between body, mind and spirit which allows our true nature to be freely expressed.

The role of the therapist is to guide individuals to be more in touch with their innate healing wisdom, which actually does the healing. The responsibility of the therapist is to support, nurture and encourage the healing process through the various modalities of care.

In the process of healing, one may experience symptoms. When viewed from a healing perspective symptoms are not to be viewed as good or bad. They are agents of change which provide opportunity for growth.

The art of healing is, in itself, a process. In an over stimulated society we have little time to seek stillness from our environment and within ourselves. Our lifestyles directly affect our overall level of health. Much of the healing needed is found beyond the pain that we feel. My intention is simple; to project energy of compassion, love, harmony and balance that creates the perfect healing space for you.
