She works with a variety of clientele, and specializes in therapeutic deep tissue massage: using a combination of different myofascial release techniques including cupping therapy. She has been practicing yoga for seven years and believes in the benefits massage has on the mind, body and soul.

Meredith believes a massage treatment is only a part of what it takes to begin healing, and likes to work with her clients to come up with a yoga and/or stretching & strengthening routine that fits their needs at home so they can notice progress between treatments.
When she’s not massaging Meredith loves to take to the mountains to go hiking and camping with her wonder pup Ranger.

Sheila MacLean
Registered Massage Therapist
Yoga Guide
Owner
Massage and yoga have been powerful methods for growth and connection in my life, I very sincerely love what I do, and would love the opportunity to share it with you.
Massage has been a great passion of mine since I stumbled into the practice headfirst in 2009. I knew it checked the boxes: Something in to encourage and bolster others, that kept me moving, something that let me be creative.
Sharing yoga was the missing puzzle piece: bringing strength and stability (and therefore longevity) to those I was seeing in my massage practice. My yoga classes, private and public, are not the fancy, twisty postures you might see in magazines, but a method of self-inquiry and thoughtful movement aimed at awakening individuals to their own possibilities.
In massage I offer:
Swedish, Deep Tissue, Indian Head Massage, Joint Release, Deep Flow, Shiatsu, Thai, Reflexology, Hot Stone, Hydrotherapy, Prenatal Massage, and the use of Aromatherapy.
In yoga: Hatha, Stråla, Movement Therapy, Restorative, Anusara, Acroyoga, Kundalini.
