Shantia Blackwell

Hi! ➡ My name is Shantia! I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist in NYC. I practice with a special focus on trauma informed care, parasympathetic nervous system activation, and chronic stress relief. ➡ We can’t completely get rid of life's stressors BUT we can learn to respond effectively through how we take care of ourselves. 📧 - sblckwell@gmail.com

💕All shapes and sizes are worthy of love and respect. All bodies are sacred and should be treated as such. 💕 Every person deserves to feel safe, I prioritize trauma-informed care and aim for all who I work with to experience our work together as a safe and supportive. 💕 I am committed to both leading, and being led with kindness and empathy & prioritize heart-centered care in all of my interactions.

✴When you choose to work with me, our sessions revolve around aiding you & your nervous system in alleviating stress within your body. ✴The brain & mind are interconnected - pain that we feel in either area will have an impact on the other. ✴My approach consists of gentle, flowing techniques designed to alleviate stress, muscle pain and tension. ✴I employ a combination of light to medium pressure techniques, passive stretching, & gentle mobility exercises to promote relaxation, encourage release of tension & promote functional movement. ✴ I am trained in a variety of modalities including but not limited to: Swedish Massage, Reflexology, Thai, Trigger Point Therapy, & Assisted Stretching. I look forward to co-creating with you :)
