When you are in pain or want to relax, there is one place to be:

On the massage table!

Los Gatos & Santa Cruz locations

This item is a 90-minute massage with Shannon Lynn Brown of Sanctum Therapy.

Intuition-based massage–grounded in hundreds of hours of massage and anatomy education–is how Shannon helps clients begin their gentle journey back to optimal health.

Influenced by years of watching her sister and father struggle with scoliosis, Shannon has extended her services beyond traditional relaxation massage to address the different physical needs of her clients. Shannon's clients benefit from her scar therapy massage to minimize appearance and pain from both new and old scars as well as a vitally important–and often overlooked–breast massage therapy to support breast health.  A swimmer and yoga practitioner Shannon is trained in sports therapy massage and Kinesio taping and offers her athletic clients support and relief from the physical and mental stress of training and competing.

"There are few things better than offering pain relief to clients that have just about given up hope," explains Shannon.  "Whether I'm taping up a triathlete or providing a woman with post-mastectomy scar and massage therapy, helping people back to a healthier, happier existence is so rewarding. I know that I'll always be pursuing new massage techniques so I can continue to help an ever-expanding range of people."

A 2004 graduate of New School for Massage, Brown has obtained her certification from the State of California (CMT), the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCTMB) and the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (MBLEX). Shannon has certification in Bodywork for the Childbearing Years as well as being a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner. Throughout her career, Shannon has taught at Chicago's New School for Massage, and Five Branches University in Santa Cruz, California.
