Bodywork of Bend

Shelby has been practicing massage therapy since 2013, guiding clients toward the body’s innate capacity for healing. Her work is centered on supporting a calm, restorative nervous system to create the conditions for deeper therapeutic benefit. Her specialties include craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, restorative massage, and pre- and postnatal care. She tailors each session thoughtfully to meet the individual needs of every client. A Bend native, Shelby was raised in the outdoor culture of Central and Eastern Oregon. She brings a lifelong appreciation for movement and alignment to her practice, shaped by her background in Pilates, dance, and body awareness. Outside the treatment room, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her daughter, exploring the mountains, rivers, and trails that make Bend home.
Smooth stones are heated and then lubricated with oil or essential oils, the therapeutic effects of heat are used to relax muscles more deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, the use of massage stones induces deep relaxation and provides a unique experience many find to be tremendously calming and centering.
