Shea came to massage from a place of personal need. She had been injured in a car accident at age 16 and had been struggling through college with lots of problems and sometimes debilitating pain. After graduating from Sonoma State University with a BA in Anthropology (ie practically useless) in 2007, she found herself desiring both a career and some physical relief. One day she had the brilliant idea to enroll in massage training at Santa Barbara Bodyworks. It quickly became apparent that Shea had a knack for bodywork and she has found a deep sense of purpose in the world through offering this gift to others.

When Shea is not practicing her craft you’ll likely find her in a yoga class, taking long walks on the beach, hiking amongst the redwoods, watercolor painting, reading a book, cooking delicious meals and enjoying good times exceptional beings.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

My husband and I booked back to back massages with Shea and we loved our massages. Shea is welcoming and intuitive and very skilled. She made both of us feel comfortable and adjusted our massages to our specific needs. We highly recommend her!

Everything she did felt great. Walked in and had a kink in my neck and she did work on it a bit longer. Feels much better the next day
