After more than two decades of working on bodies it is now evident to me that focusing on an area of pain or restriction will offer temporary relief at best but no long-term resolution. Each person is unique and that is reflected in my approach. My style would best be described as manual therapy. I do not offer deep tissue massage but rather gently access tissue, specifically and precisely mobilizing, releasing holding patterns, tension and adhesions. Additionally, I am trained in Visceral Manipulation. My primary goal is to identify the cause of your dysfunction, examine posture and holding patterns, work with you to reduce the pain, increase range of motion and improve the quality of your life through active treatment & education. My experienced and intuitive approach includes Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy and more. Being convinced that the human body is innately capable of healing itself I primarily act as a facilitator in the process.

With the intent of releasing resistance within the tissues using Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial and active release therapy, (to name a few) my hope is to achieve re-hydration and maintain active, free, full range of motion for optimal health.
My mission is to acknowldege the goals of my clients and customize assessment, treatment and home care accordingly. I will work with you to discover the cause of the dysfunction and provide a well rounded approach to healing. I hope to see you soon.
I have been an RMT since November 2017, doing trigger point therapy, myofascial release, joint mobilization, and postural alignment. I am also certified in Dr. Vodder’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) & Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT). Treatments are designed specifically for each patient and are made up of various techniques (including but not limited to: Swedish massage, Myofascial Release, deep tissue, stretching, Trigger Point Release, MLD & CDT). All initial MLD appointments are 90 min. If no convenient appointment times come up, please contact Tamara directly at rmt.tamaravs@gmail.com as there is more time available.
In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, a persons body is assessed for places of tension. Tension areas are released so that body fluid and energy circulate with more freedom.
Live well, love openly, laugh often! We all need to be heard, especially when we’re struggling or hurting. When we are really heard, we are given the opportunity to explore our past and present, and focus on our challenges. The insight that follows allows us to address the feeling of being stuck rather than getting caught up in the judgement of others. Call 778-888-1915 or email info@shannongordon.ca to book an appointment.
Hello! There are two basic approaches I have to my treatments; a holistic approach where we evaluate multiple areas of your health and make a treatment plan that slowly integrates healthier habits into your life, while working to improve muscle health through massage therapy. The other approach is a specific treatment, where one area or a few specific areas need attention, for example recovering from a muscle sprain or waking up with a tight neck. As a part of each treatment I’ll suggest stretches/exercises or hydrotherapy tips that you can do on your own. Techniques I often use (including but not limited to) are myofascial release, joint mobilizations, PNF (ProprioceptiveNeuromuscular Facilitation), trigger point release, diaphragmatic breathing and specific stretching for the muscles that need it most. From deep tissue to pre or post-natal to sports massage, I’ve got you covered.

The medical idea of a holistic approach is characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of a disease. Shaelynn's practice is based off a holistic approach to massage therapy which stems from academic knowledge, practical skills, and professionalism. Also recognized is the multiple factors which play into pain and healing. Shaelynn is passionate about studying the roots of pain science and helping patients change the way they think about pain. Shaelyyn's current studies have provided her with knowledge on general pathology, rehabilitation, therapeutic exercises, joint mobilizations, MFR, trigger point therapy and more. This has helped her with the ability to treat athletes, prenatal women, elderly, injuries such as tendonitis, bursitis, scars, frozen shoulder, headaches and migraines, as well as patients with respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological conditions.
