    Shannon is great! I never feel rushed through my appointment, and always feel rejuvenated. I would highly recommend her for all massages, but specifically for prenatal massage. I've had nothing but good experiences.

  • Kate N.

    I am a physical therapist, so I know a good massage when I get one. And Shannon is very skilled at what she does. She was able to find all the the spots contributing to my pain without me telling her, and I felt so much better the next day. I plan to recommend her to my clients and continuing to go myself.

  • Sara M.

    Had my first massage with Shannon over the weekend and it was fantastic! Prior to the pandemic, I was getting massages regularly with my trusted MT in Charleston. We've since moved to Columbia and I was hesitant to try to find a new MT after poor experiences in the past. Shannon is kind, thoughtful, and caring and took my concerns seriously. I'm so glad I found her and look forward to seeing her next month :)

  • Amy M.

    Very knowledgeable and skilled in her art. I would highly recommend her services! She is very sensitive to the individual needs of the client and able to adjust to address them. So grateful!!

  • Jay S.

    Seen Shannon 2x now to help me recover from training and get ready for a triathlon this weekend. I left her office this morning feeling like I am going to win!!! (Narrator: he most certainly will not win, but dang he certainly feels good and ready to go!!)

  • Tricia R.

    Shannon absolutely has "the touch". I've never been so relaxed during a massage, or felt so good after. As a yoga teacher, my body sees a good amount of use; but after session with Shannon my muscles are soothed & my mind is relaxed. Don't hesitate - grab your appointment now!

  • Andy M.

    My session with Shannon was amazing. We had a great conversation about the modalities before the massage and she was very in tune with my issues. I highly recommend to anyone.

  • Kassie P.

    I highly recommend Avodah Massage Therapy! Shannon is amazing. She listens attentively to our needs and provides exceptional care, especially with my baby. Her expertise and gentle approach make ever session truly relaxing and beneficial. I’m grateful for the positive impact her massages have had on both my baby and myself. Thank you, Shannon and Avodah Massage Therapy team, for your outstanding service!

  • P. B.

    Thank you so much for your GREAT work! Avodah is a hidden gem with the best professional massage therapy. Shannon did an amazing job releasing the knots in my shoulder and the GuaSha gave my lymphatic system a jump start! The peaceful ambiance and warm inviting surroundings added to a relaxing, healing experience!

  • Alison T.

    I went to Shannon with my newborn to address nipple pain with breastfeeding and quickly noticed improvement! If you ever experienced nipple pain you know the gift it is to find a way to relieve that pain and I'm so grateful I got oriented towards Shannon! She is also so sweet and gentle. Definitely recommend her for all your tissue and muscle needs!
