Your body’s been trying to tell you something. It's time to listen.
I’ve spent 15 years at the intersection of clinical practice and ancient healing, helping high-performing women feel deeply, without falling apart. As a Holistic Somatic Therapist, I’m here to help you stop living in your head and start being more present in your life and body.

What Women Like You Are Saying
Immediately after the Reiki and sound bath session Sheanah led for my team of behavioral health providers, I could feel that my shoulders were less tense.
My biggest surprise came the next day, however, when I noticed improvement in my postpartum core. I felt stronger, less bloated, and less anxious about the healing process for my diastasis recti.
With Sheanah’s guidance, my entire team also reported finding useful applications to improve their clinical practice and personal self-care.
DR. AMBER FLANIGAN
My daughter and I attended Sheanah’s virtual group healing workshop and in the days to follow, my sleep was easier to come by and deeply restorative. I’d been struggling with getting rest, and I was also finally able to release a long overdue cry.
My daughter also had a huge breakthrough with forgiveness during the session, something we had been working on in traditional talk therapy for the past three years.
SHARELLE HARLAN
I’ve attended Sheanah’s group sound baths in pools, Himalayan salt caves, and during aerial silk classes. I don’t think I’ve missed any of her events except one or two! Each time the experience has brought to surface something different I needed to release or heal.
Sheanah brings so much light, healing, love, and joy to this world, and I am forever grateful.
STEPHANIE G.
It’s been 3 months since I started working with Sheanah, and the best word to describe myself is “changed.” In the week following my session, I was able to find peace mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Typically, fall comes with a heaviness and dread, but I’ve welcomed it for the first time for the comforting season that it is.
I can sit deeper into my hip opening exercises without wincing, and I’ve even found progress and healing in my relationship with my co-parent.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese energy healing practice that clears what’s stuck—emotionally, physically, spiritually—without you having to leave your couch.
We open with a call to talk through what’s coming up, you receive 30 minutes of remote energy work in your own space, and we close with a debrief on what shifted and how to integrate it.
-
Human Design is a system that maps how you’re uniquely wired to make decisions, use your energy, and move through the world—think astrology meets quantum physics meets your actual life making sense.
We pull your chart and walk through your Type, Strategy, and Authority so you leave with a real framework.
-
Sound bath therapy uses live instruments—singing bowls, chimes, gongs—to guide your nervous system into a deep state of rest and regulation that most people have never experienced before.
You bring your people, I bring the bowls, and for one hour everybody puts the phones down to actually exhale.

Who I Am & Why It Matters to You
I’m Sheanah (like ‘Rihanna’).
I’m a Chicago-based Holistic Somatic Therapist, meaning I work with your whole self, not just your symptoms, using the body as the primary entry point for healing. I bring 15 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Massage Therapist, alongside ancient healing practices such as Reiki, sound healing, and more—because healing that doesn’t reach the body doesn’t stick.
I didn’t come to this work because I always knew better. I came because I was sick and nobody could tell me why. In 2015 I was deep in a cycle of chronic sinus infections with specialists, testing, more testing, and prescriptions on repeat. Nobody had answers. It wasn’t until I said forget conventional and tried acupuncture that something finally shifted. Not just in my sinuses. In my whole understanding of what was actually happening. What looked like a physical problem turned out to be emotional suppression living in my body. I had been holding things I hadn’t said, hadn’t felt, hadn’t let myself process—and my body was screaming at me.
That experience changed everything about how I practice and who I practice for. I work with high-achieving women, usually in their late thirties to mid-fifties, who have done everything right. Therapy, medication, meditation apps, the 5am workouts. Successful by every measure and still feeling like something’s missing. Still feeling like they’re performing their life instead of actually living it. I know that feeling intimately. And I know it doesn’t live in your head—it lives in your body, and that’s exactly where I help you go to find it.
