Shanti LeBlanc, RMT, approaches her treatments with a grounding and nurturing touch. She understands that her job as massage therapist is to understand the science and anatomy of the body, while listening deeply to her patients’ needs. Her goal is to provide a comforting and supportive atmosphere in order to facilitate the healing of each unique individual. Shanti believes that through combining her structured understanding of anatomy with the intuitive guidance of the body, she is able to lead her treatments holistically. She values understanding her patients health goals through learned knowledge as well as felt empathy. Shanti combines the therapeutic properties of traditional massage with the soothing effects of hot stone massage. While weaving in a variety of modalities such as Swedish Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release and Joint Mobilization, she skillfully incorporates the smooth lava rocks into the massage strokes. Using this technique helps to both relax her patient’s nervous system and loosen fascia and muscle tissue with ease. The benefits of combining the use of hot and cold stone therapy with other massage therapy modalities are far reaching, as they result in a deeply restorative experience for the client. Not only does blending indicated techniques with the use of hot stones therapy provide a sense of calm and tranquility throughout the body and mind, but it can also help to reduce anxiety, act as a natural muscle relaxant, enhance blood flow and lymph drainage, improve overall well-being, and much more.
