Massage Therapist

About me

Shawni has a background in Kinesiology and Sports Massage, combined with a lifetime of involvement in competitive sports. Over the years, he has trained and competed in everything from judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu to surfing and rock climbing—experiences that shaped his understanding of how the body performs under stress and recovers from injury.

His treatments focus on restoring tissue quality, improving joint health, and helping clients move and perform at their highest level. With years of experience coaching CrossFit, HYROX, and Olympic lifting, Shawni understands the specific injuries and movement dysfunctions athletes commonly face and how to help overcome them.

Shawni utilizes a variety of techniques, including instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), performance cupping, muscle energy techniques, and fascial and trigger point therapy to support recovery and improve function.
