We are very grateful that we have incredible talented resources in the same building as Shakti and right on music row. These can be great compliments to your Yoga practice or if you are needing some extra care.

Massage Therapist
* Maori massage: Maori massage originally comes from Aotearoa ( New Zealand). This type of bodywork is a means to relax your muscles, improve your posture, get rid of chronic muscle pain and chronic stress, as well as release energy and emotional blocks. Listening to her intuition and her clients’ needs, Elodie may use energy work, fluid strokes, Myofascial Release, assisted stretching, compressions, visceral manipulation among other techniques during the session. She also uses a Rākkau (stick), stones, her feet, knees, elbows and forearms as tools to release trigger points and tight muscles. This type of bodywork is great for those who like firm pressure.
* Postpartum and Pregnancy Massage: Elodie offers the Holistic Treatment of the Postpartum Body after training with Lynn Schulte, Physical Therapist and founder of the Institute for Birth Healing in Denvers Colorado. This treatment allows to recognize specific patterns from pregnancy and birth, and to help women’s body recover. This protocol addresses Diastatis Recti, C-Section scars, low and mid back pain, difficulty taking a deep breath, painful intercourse, pelvic pain, and more.
* Reiki: Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying on hands and is based on the idea that a life force energy flows through us. The word Reiki means “spiritually guided life force energy.”
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. It is a deeply relaxing session, where the client remains fully clothed, and usually on his/her back the entire time.

Movement Specialist
& Holistic Healing
I’ve always had a deeper connection to the healing arts. Through massage therapy and herbalism, I am able to use these tools to find the root of an issue and create more balance, relaxation, and space to heal. Helping others to heal is a big passion of mine. I've worked in the massage therapy realm since 2011, specializing in mobility, body mechanics, deep tissue, manual lymphatic drainage massage, acute and chronic pain management, pre/post-natal care, and herbal therapies. Each massage is catered towards you and your body in a safe, cozy space for you to relax and reset. Extra tools I may add are hot stones, hot towels, a heated mat, and cupping.
