Shannon Allstott
Shannon has been a Massage Therapist since 2005. In 2008 she received certification as a Yoga teacher with a therapeutic Viniyoga focus. In 2016 she completed a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course. In 2020 she became certified in Ayurveda and also began study with local PT Gil Wette, both of which have further shifted her work.
Shannon’s bodywork sessions typically include a combination of nervous system balancing, neuromuscular movement work, and myofascial release, with a little craniosacral thrown in on occasion.
During her Ayurvedic consults, we work together to find your native constitution, determine where you’re out of balance, and find diet and lifestyle choices that will both help bring you back to balance and support a healthy body, mind, and spirit for life.

Hannah Barber
I’ve been a massage therapist for about a year now. i am also licensed for cupping therapy through the ICTA. Massage as a whole has changed my life and given me the tools to take care of my self and efficiently help others. I have a background in healthcare as a CNA for 5+ years and have always found great purpose in nurturing others. On an average day you may find me cozied up with a book, hula hooking, or heading out for a hike. I recently moved here from WA and am excited to get the know the community out here! I hope to send you off feeling better and happier.

Van Wetzig, Mountaintop Acupuncture
I have been involved in the healing arts community for the last 23 years. As an instructor, massage therapist, cranio sacral therapist, and now as a certified diplomat of acupuncture I seek to help my patients restore balance with their bodies. Working with the meridians in the body to move the flow of life force energy: Qi, or through gentle manipulation of soft tissue my goal is to inform and empower my patients. I’ve always considered my practice to be an interactive journey between practitioner and patient. Creating a safe space where my patients can heal and restore balance is what’s most important to me.
