Shannon
Licensed Massage Therapist
Shannon has called the Grand Valley her home for most of her life. Graduating from Palisade High School and CMU (when it was still Mesa State College) with a bachelor's degree in business administration. Bookkeeping has been her main career focus most of her adult life, however, in 2013 she became a Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist. Who knew massaging horses was an actual thing. After witnessing the effects one massage had on one of her own horses that she thought she was going to lose, she was instantly sold on the idea and pursued her education to become certified and help horses. Shannon has always been interested in overall human health as well and after some encourgement from Erika Cripe, she got licensed as a human massage therapist as well in 2022. She believes in life long learning and constantly adding to her knowledge base to better serve her clients (both human and horses).
Shannon has been blessed with an amazing husband, Jeffery, two beautiful daughters, Courtnee and Sienna, as well as one rambunctious grandson, Grayson. Being outdoors hiking, riding horses, paddleboarding, fishing, and hunting are ways she loves to reconnect with nature. Helping and serving others is her passion. Helping people and horses feel amazing in their own bodies again and being able to do things they thought they may no longer be able to do, is truly an amazing experience.
Our treatments are the perfect integration of science and nature, featuring high-quality ingredients, aromatic and medicinal herbs and other healing plants, as well as cutting-edge technology that optimizes the human body’s ability to heal. Some see our treatments as pure indulgence, but in truth they are a valuable and therapeutic part of your balanced mind/body/spirit experience at our spa.
