Meet Shelly LMT
Massage Therapist, Reiki and Sound Healer
I started this journey in 2018 after waking up realizing I was sick overweight and living in a constant state of fight or flight. Coffee and Cortisol a toxic combination. I was living the corporate dream in Dallas, I had achieved my executive goals, I had the lifestyle, the clothes, the car, travelled but my body was sick and I truly wasn't happy. Diagnosed with breast cancer I knew I had to make changes or the lifestyle was going to kill me. As I found my self realizing these things and waking up I knew it was time for drastic change. I walked away from a career decades in the making, I traded the Mercedes for a jeep and I headed to Galveston, an island off the coast of Texas. It was there I connected to my higher self and she lead me to become who I am still growing into today. I enrolled in Massage Therapy school and fell in love with bodywork. I loved my time in Galveston developing my craft, making friends who are more like family, but I was called to Austin to work for what I consider to be one of the top wellness retreats in the country. Working along side amazing therapist and taking my skills to the next level was one of the most amazing experiences of my life...a part of my heart will always be at Life in Balance Spa in the hills of Austin. As much as I loved Austin I missed my family and needed to be closer to one of my children. So to North Texas I wandered and found a beautiful spa at the largest casino in the world. My gypsy soul is home in North Texas Horse Country. It is time. So mote it be.
