I was referred to Shayna by a fellow member of the COVID-cautious/immunocompromised community (holla!) and boy am I thankful for the recommendation. Shayna is not only incredibly talented (goodbye, tension and tight muscles!) but she's also a sweet soul who radiates warmth and immediately puts you at ease. Sometimes for those of us in the COVID-cautious/immunocompromised bubble, it feels like our world gets smaller and smaller everyday and there's so much we've had to sacrifice to remain healthy. I asked if Shayna would be willing to wear an N95 mask from my stash during my massage appointment (1.5 hours, mind you) and she was so kind and understanding; she was enthusiastic about doing whatever she could to make me feel comfortable so I could relax because...her words: "you deserve this." More or less, she was like Of course, sis. No problem, I got you. Whatever you need. And that kind of kindness and empathy is so rare these days.
I prefer firm pressure, and she definitely delivered. Prepare to have all of your stress and tension melt away. There's no pressure to talk and you can just fully immerse yourself into the relaxation experience; when I got on the massage table, she was like "feel free to totally zen out, fall asleep...this is your time." I think my soul whispered, "thank you."
I can't say enough good things about Shayna. She brought self-care {and some sense of normalcy} back into my life and I'm grateful. I feel more like myself again for the first time in years. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Shayna now. Because you...
Read moreWOW! Never before I have received a massage like that. I would definitely recommend Shayna’s massage services. Her place invites you to feel calm and relaxed. Very clean and well decorated. She made sure I felt comfortable and relaxed. Because the weather was cold outside, she used a heater on the massage table, which was very nice for me, cause I was freezing. She asked me first, if I wanted some techniques performed on the session. That made me feel more confident on what to expect. And the best of all: I have so many knots in my back , I think she didn’t miss one. I suffer from insomnia and I just wanted to stay asleep there until next day. Pressure: in a good way, not too soft, not too hard. She worked hands on the entire hour. Even my sciatica knot was less painful. She did a great job 👏 on that one. I had table massages before, but some were too soft or almost no hands on. I don’t have words to express how good she is. You have to experience it personally. I’m sure you...

She helped alleviate some tension in my neck and shoulders. We also had a lovely conversation about compassion and self care and it truly warmed my soul. I am so grateful I found Shayna and Priscilla and want everyone to know what a beautiful, healing space they have created!
MARCH 2025: recently received a chair massage from Shayna and it was, hands down, the best chair massage I have ever received! She is so kind, patient, knowledgeable and skilled. She really helped alleviate some serious tension in my neck, shoulders and back, and also provided me with some stretches to do to help prevent future injury. Also, her homemade arnica salve is truly magical! I cannot wait to receive my next massage from Shayna. She has created such a beautiful, welcoming, calming space at Arnica and I am so glad...
