Hello!  My name is Sneha Patel and I am a State Licensed  M assage  T herapist  License #: 39671. Also a member of American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA)  Many have asked why Massage therapy? How did Shanti Healing get its name? Here's the story behind it: I would like to introduce everyone to my grandmother (Ma)! Everyone who had the chance to get to know her will agree among many things she was an extraordinary, lovable, strict, & strong willed woman! Her strength is always forever in us! Ma is the main reason I followed my passion and became a licensed massage therapist. While I was the weaker grandchild and could never sit beside her during dialysis, the best conversations were while I massaged her feet while she recovered at home. Randomly I would be told "there's something in your hands, it always feels better when you massage them! Do something with your hands" (in Gujarati of course) lol I still remember the day I told Ma that I wanted to but I was told it's not a profession that a Indian girl should be doing, her reaction was one I still can think about and smile at. After being in the hospitality field for 10 years, I felt like there was still a part of me that longed to make my passion for massage therapy a reality. While I still worked full time as a general manager at a corporate owned hotel, I enrolled in a massage therapy program and became a licensed massage therapist. It took about a year to complete the transition from a general manager to a massage therapist, and about another year and a half to actually fulfill a promise of 12 years to not only to follow a passion but to keep a promise I once made to my grandmother & open doors of Shanti Healing on May 8th, 2015. I enjoy spending my time helping people in need of a break from everyday life. I provide therapeutic care and knowledge about health, self-care, wellness, and massage. It is a daily challenge to stay positive and healthy for every single one of us. Which can and will affect our bodies, home, work, family and everyone we encounter.
