“I have had many people give me a massage. Shayla is truly gifted! She has a sense of feel that I have not experienced with other therapists, almost as if she feels the pain as she moves her hands over you to find the exact area. She shared reasons and explanations of hurts that no one has explained. Truly moving and healing experience!"

“Shayla has a wonderful touch and technique, and if you have an injury or are in chronic pain, she is the massage therapist for you. I had an old injury in my rhomboid and scapula area and Shayla was able to relieve most of the pain in two sessions. Amazing really since that was over a year ago and I'm still pain free! Shayla has tremendous knowledge of the body and all of its functions. Absolutely AMAZING!"

“To receive a Shayla massage is to take a step forward towards a more balanced and heathlier lifestyle. Her extensive knowledge of the human body, including the meridian points, has helped me recover from running injuries. She also showed me ways in which to utilize her techniques myself. I have had massages elsewhere, but a Shayla massage will leave you feeling relaxed and invigorated!”

“A fellow raquetball player mentioned to me that she had been suffering with carpal tunnel pain in her wrist and forearm for years. She was looking into surgery since she could not make it through the day or night without significant pain. It was curtailing her athletic lifestyle and her occupation as a computer programmer. She described the pain as an 8 on a scale of 1-10 and wore a nightly brace. After only two 20 minute visits using STR techniques and training her in daily exercises taking about 3 minutes to complete, she described her pain as lowered to a 3 and no longer needed to wear a brace at night. Now, months later, she admits she does not always do her daily exercises, but if she overworks that wrist, she will do them and the pain will subside.”

“Shayla's hands are healing hands. When I started seeing Shayla, she really got to know me before the massage began which led to a greater benefit to me as her healing hands massaged what she knew I needed. She has the “touch” to heal. After seeing Shayla for a period of time, I realized my body was staying more in balance longer. As our relationship built, we were able to train my muscles and structure to sustain health, proper structure and an immediate response whenever Shayla's healing hands massaged my body. I would recommend Shayla to everyone. Not only has she maintained my health, but also that of my husband and two children. She has a golden touch of “knowing” what is needed. She is the best!”

“I have been to several massage therapists over the years and I have never had the results that Shayla has produced and in record time. I have suffered with neck, lower back and carpal tunnel pain for years and I am almost pain free. Shayla takes her therapy to the next level with her caring and compassionate attitude. My husband Ted has never had a massage and I convinced him to give Shayla a try. Ted has suffered with shoulder and hip pain for several years and after only a few treatments he can raise his arms over his head and bend over to pick things up. We cannot imagine life without Shayla, we intend to keep our treatments a major part of our health regime. Much Mahalo, Shayla you are “NO KA OI !!!"
