Licensed Massage Therapist, Shari Stevens, uses proven therapeutic techniques based on the body's anatomy to give you both a healing and relaxing experience. You can choose from a number of modalities to give you your optimum experience.
Shari Stevens created A Healing Touch Massage & Reiki with an intention to help clients achieve wholeness and balance while feeling good. In 1999, Shari graduated from Carlson College of Massage Therapy, the only Iowa massage school to be accredited by the national association, COMTA. The focus of her training was twofold: relaxation and rehabilitation. Carlson’s program taught Shari specific techniques to apply when clients suffer from low back pain, and others for shoulder pain, and other specific techniques for neck pain. The philosophy underlying this work is to know the anatomy of the muscles and how they function, individually and together. This specific work brings balance to the whole body.
Shari has received training in trigger point massage, myofascial massage, assisted stretching techniques such as Active Isolated Stretching and Stuart Taws’ Soft Tissue Release. She uses these techniques on a daily basis.
Shari also specializes in Reiki, a biofield therapy that balances life force energy from within. Her interest in Reiki began in 1998 when she learned Reiki I & II from the renowned teacher, Laurelle Gaia, of the International Center for Reiki Training. In 2000, Shari began teaching Reiki, after receiving her Reiki Master certification, and later, she went on to become certified and to teach Karuna® Reiki. For over ten years, Shari has used Reiki to help clients heal from a wide range of conditions — from depression to bursitis to cancer and Parkinson’s disease. She has given Reiki in hospitals and at sporting events and, of course, in her home office as part of her practice. Shari also teaches Reiki classes. Teaching Reiki is a favorite pastime for Shari as it allows her to give the gift of empowerment to her students, who go on to heal themselves, their loved ones and the world.
Shari is a Certified Guided Imagery Therapist who uses guided imagery in both one-on-one guided imagery sessions and in creating guided imagery CDs. Her recent CD, Approval, guides listeners to a serene setting in nature where the energy of approval is abundant and flows naturally into their systems and into their lives.
