Shawn has been actively involved in athletics for more than 40 years, for which bodywork has had a profound impact on. He was originally introduced to massage as a tool for athletic recovery as a cyclist when he competed as a professional mountain bike and road athlete for Cannondale and Trek while living in Lake Tahoe, California and Aspen, Colorado.  During that time, he had the pleasure of working with some of the most talented massage therapists in the nation’s cycling community, which left a lasting impression on his work. In addition to the role bodywork has played in his athletic endeavors, it has played an equally profound role in his spiritual and emotional transformation and growth, all of which has inspired and led him to pursue his bliss and share his practice with his clients.
