About Shayla
Excited by the unique joy of helping clients...
Shayla began nurturing her natural healing abilities over 35 years ago.
After many years of doing intuitive healing, she yearned for more formal training. With this goal, Shayla set forth to study more than 2,000 hours at the Healing Arts Institute in Northern California and emerged in the Spring of 2002, a highly trained therapeutic 'bodyworker'.
Upon moving to Maui in 2004, her heart and her work merged in the study of the ancient Hawaiian bodywork, Lua Lomi.
So grateful to have met a truly gifted healer, a Hawaiian Lua Lomi Master 
whom immediately became her 'true Teacher'. She has studied extensively with him for over 20 years now.
Shayla's original inspiration to enter the healing profession began as a self healing journey with a strong yearning to help others. She decided that bodywork - being a universal language- was an incredible avenue to achieve this goal.
Forever excited by the unique joy of helping clients become a little more 'comfortable in their own skin', she is grateful to have been able to take her natural affinity and abilities for healing to the 'next level' during her formal education process. She believes that the better understanding she has of the human anatomy, and the more familiar she becomes with the art of movement and its effects and stresses it poses on the body- the better she can serve her clients.
Shayla draws upon over 35 years of practicing wholistic bodywork including over 20 years of hands-on, anatomy-driven, experience as a licensed massage therapist and her never ending curiosity that she feeds with ongoing continuing education. Shayla currently has well over 3,000 hours of formal class training, and over 20 years of study under a Master Hawaiian Lua Lomi practicioner.
"I believe it is helpful to have a guiding philosophy in ones practice"
Shayla holds a deep seated belief in the body's own wisdom and its extraordinary ability to heal.
"I believe in the miracle of rejuvenation and the wonder of recovery.
Much like a small cut can close, scab and heal - larger soft tissue issues can also
recover and return to an original unblemished state."
"I offer my clients amazingly effective techniques to achieve a uniquely healing and relaxing experience."
