Face · Sinus · Skin ClarityTherapeutic massage at LCW is clinically informed — Dr. Shanie brings clinical reasoning to every session, targeting the specific pain patterns, mobility restrictions, and functional limitations that are actually affecting your daily life.
Each session is customized to your goals, your tolerance, and what your body needs that day — not a preset routine applied the same way to everyone.
Dr. Shanie's training in pelvic function also informs how she performs massage — deepening her understanding of how posture, breathing, tissue tension, and fluid movement connect across the whole body.
Dr. Shanie's training in pelvic function is a clinical lens that deepens every session — whether lymphatic care or therapeutic massage. Understanding how the pelvic floor connects to posture, breathing, fluid movement, and tissue tension means your care is always informed by a whole-body picture.
For mild pelvic floor concerns — such as urinary leakage, urgency, or frequency — Dr. Shanie offers a focused 30-minute session. This is not full pelvic floor therapy — it's personalized exercises, strategies, and education you can apply on your own between visits.
Packages are designed for clients committed to a course of treatment — whether managing a chronic condition, recovering from surgery, or maintaining results over time. All packages are prepaid and non-refundable once initiated.
Every service at LCW is delivered by a deeply trained clinician who understands why your body is doing what it's doing — and how to actually help it change.
Every session begins with a thorough intake — reviewing your history, your goals, and what your body is dealing with — so your care is built around you from the start.
The highest credential in lymphatic therapy, applied using the original evidence-based Vodder method — precise, structured, and backed by advanced clinical knowledge across every session.
Dr. Shanie sees every client personally, with her complete clinical focus. No rushed appointments — just care that is built around you.
OT training — combined with pelvic floor awareness, lymphatic expertise, and licensed massage therapy — means every session draws on a fuller picture of how your body works as a connected system.
Every client leaves with education and strategies to support their progress between sessions — because lasting results require more than an appointment.
That's completely normal — many clients come in unsure of exactly what they need. Reach out and describe what you're experiencing. Dr. Shanie will point you toward the right service, the right session length, and realistic expectations for your situation. No obligation, no pressure.
